Reddit is, i think, the biggest forum on the internet, you can literally find anything there.
They have a section for footbal and mma streams, with good quality, and for free.
Just use what i wrote in the post you linked, reddit/soccerstreams or /mmastreams, and you have everything you need ;)

I'm sure he's been in quite a few in the past. He's probably always around and is some what recognizable so it's hard not to film him. He's more well known than everyone else there except Khabib anyway.

Comes across well here.

He comes across well in anything like that. When he's not hyping it up to an audience he's quite well spoken and clearly massively into the sport.

How much is Conor estimated to make off this fight?

Still expecting Khabib to pull out. Won't hold my breath on it going ahead until fight night.
 
McGregor is great fun and all, but I just can't take a man who has his own name tattooed on his chest seriously. At least Tattoo something that comes in handy when you forget, like your social security number or whatever.

I don’t think it’s his normal fee, I’m sure he said he isn’t getting as much as normal. Probably due to not wanting to do as much promotion but then i’d Imagine he’ll get a hefty chunk of the PPV so depends on how well that sells.

I would have thought UFC would have propmot3d the hell out of this but they really don’t seem to be, Diaz, Aldo and what’s his face you really couldn’t get away from it, it was everywhere. Haven’t really seen that much on this.

I know he's getting to promote his whisky, which is a big part of the deal as well, but I do wonder if this man just loves fighting that he hasn't gone off with that Mayweather money and left it all behind.

To be putting his neck on the line and bring so much animosity into his fights where his opponents really want to hurt him, is quite something when you don't have to do it anymore.

I'm saying this from the MMA perspective, mind, as minted boxers put their life on the line every time they go back into the ring long after making obscene amounts of money.

I've purposely avoided all the promotions so don't really know how the build up has been and part of me just refuses to be duped into believing the fight will go ahead.

Well at that first face to face Kahbib was weighing supposedly around 176lbs. So when you consider when he was having his troubles it was due to coming down from something like 200lbs so i’d Imagine he makes weight easy enough this time so I don’t think it’ll not happen.

Supposedly if Kahbib wins someone “told” Brendan Schaub that’s Kahbib done, he’ll supposedly retire.


Edit: although it would kind of be funny if Connor had to pull out and finally we get Kahbib vs Ferguson. Don’t think I Connor would pull out unless he had a broken leg or physically couldn’t use his arms.

He's not pulling out. He was 166 on tuesday. Better weight than when he faught for the title.
 
It's gone unnoticed but apparently Brendan Schaub paid all the remaining medical bills for Ray Borg's kid. Despite being a polarizing figure, that made my heart warm.

He's a bit of a douche but he's a good kind of douche. There's no cuntishness in him.

Can someone explain the hate he gets? From what I've seen of him he comes across as a bit of a dope at times but seems to be a decent guy that's making a good career for himself after fighting; he also makes a good foil for people like Rogan and Callen as they look more knowledgable and worldly with him around.

The promotion has been massive this week and they're releasing a load of content constantly. I quite like it this way as I think a lot of promotion goes stale (Fury fight for example is 2 months away, they'll run out of material soon enough.)

I don't know where you're based but I was in New York the last week and it was promoted heavily there, I think it's safe to say it'll be the biggest selling event ever for the UFC.

I don't get the hate either. He has an opinion just like Rogan and the others.
 
I struggle to listen to him to be honest. He's a bit condescending I find really. I don't hate him, he is probably a nice guy and fair play for doing well with his career I hope it continues. I don't particularly like any of the regulars on Rogan's podcast stuff not just him (and I include Rogan in that, he's the worst of the lot.)

But talking and with the focus on him? Usually he can be seen in groups, in the background, etc, that's normal, but why is he given special focus on a short embedded that is for the fighters. We never see the other guys agents. It might have something to do with Conor humiliating him using Noah.

If the media wants to give him space for whatever reason, good, but the UFC has no business cleaning the image of this weirdo. The less we see of him, the better.

Yeah maybe. Again it might be because he is recogniseable I don't know. I doubt the UFC cares about cleaning his image or anything. It will get a reaction out of fans more than one of Khabib's coaches going on and that's all they're arsed about.

That Ferguson video is weird, I saw it before...Megan Olivi isn't i nthe same room I don't think. It's weirdly edited.

:lol: Maybe.

You can see someone sitting across Tony (through his shades reflection). Might be Megan or some random puppet.

I'm convinced it's not her, it just doesn't look right at all. Watch the McGregor one (and loads of her others) and they show a wide lense of her sat with the person she's interviewing. The constant cuts just don't seem natural. Maybe even Megan thinks Ferguson is to weird to be around.
 
:lol: What's with Tony coming out with his interim lightweight belt for the face offs? What a fecking idiot :lol:

He is messing with Dana. To be fair to Tony, he never lost that belt. (you could even say its a more valuable belt than Khalabib's one, the real state agent belt.)

 
I just wanna bone Michelle Waterston.

I been thinking khabib will beat Mcgregor but as the fight gets closer, I'm starting to feel nervous.

I have a sneaky suspicion Pettis could upset Ferguson...

I used to like him but now he's just a rambling idiot trying to look cool while saying cheesy lines.

Anyway, live press conference in 2 hours. It's going to be carnage.

Midnight Belgium time? Is it live on Youtube like the last one?

Why watch his podcast then? I couldn't listen to someone I don't like for 3 hours.
 
There'll be three people walking into the arena on Saturday carrying a belt each for the same division :lol:

In fairness Ferguson has a claim maybe better than the other two, when you look at the guys he's fought and beat, and his winning streak, it's slightly more impressive than Khabib IMO and McGregor only has one lightweight bout against Eddie Alvarez who you'd expect both Ferguson and Khabib to beat too.
