The MMA thread

Massive night for entire global sports industry tonight. Am sure many theories will be tested to justify imminent discussions and decisions about sport in a pre vaccine era.

Very odd to see these guys come out in silence. And to listen to the announcer and have the ring girls ... all in silence!
 
Easier to just record the live broadcast.

I don’t have one that records. I have a really old Youview box that only gets switched on for European games or the odd Prem game. Should probably get BT to upgrade it to be fair.
 
Good start.

Fighters being able to talk clearly with their corners during the fight will make this different than usual
 
In theory - this should be one off the biggest PPVs ever - since there are no other sports and theres been a 2 month absence where people are hungry to watch something.
 
I have a shitload of alcohol ready, loads of fecking enthusiasm and zero knowledge on what I'm about to watch.

Can't wait

Yup, actually ponied up some dough for this. Usually only happens once or twice a year max.
 
I have my sky/BT sub paused since start of April but all channels are still as normal. It feels good to watch a ufc event for free (legally) for once

It’s actually a very detailed way to watch a fight. No noise or crowd to distract your attention so you’re focussed entirely on the fight. Once you get used to it, it’s not a bad alternative to what we are used to.

In fact I’d love to watch real grudge fights like Khabib McGreogor like this: as close to street fight as one can get.

The sound of the gloves are fooling Rogan and DC though. Theyre judging shots on the echo of the gloves on shoulders or caught by their guard.
 
This has serious TUF vibes. All we need is Conor throwing his glasses at the cage
 
Anyone successfully watching via the virgin media wesbite? Won't load the feed for me.
 
Good stoppage

i think they have some extra mics around the octagon. The one event with no crowd just before lockdown I don’t think we could hear as well as tonight. Jesus the sound of some of those shots were frightening
