The UFC thread

[Edmond]

If you want to see it I would tune in Friday night at 8:00 pm. Dont think you will see many fights at Lumpinee starting at 8:00am.

You obviously don't watch One Championship.

To break the US market their main events start at 8pm Eastern, 5pm Pacific.

Given that it's now 6:30am there, it starts live in Lumpinee in 14 hours time.

This is the 4th event they've put on from Asia with this starting time.

Fans can watch the official proceedings live from Thailand by tuning in to the video below beginning at 9 a.m. ET/6 a.m. PT this Thursday, November 2.

That's the weigh ins etc.


So, for those interested in watching it, don't listen to Old Man PotHead, ah shure he don't know wot he be on about.

[aging one]

Cheers, stand corrected

[cyrille]

Well my money's on the lass on the right.

Odd that they are unnamed.

[Edmond]

stand corrected

Boooooo.


We want spittle.

We want spittle.

Odd that they are unnamed.

I believe that's a snip from a promo poster, not it in its entirety.

Well my money's on the lass on the right.

Put yer repo where your mouth is.

I'm backing SG.


If she wins, I red chitty.

Braidy wins, you red chitty.

[cyrille]

What if it's a draw?

[Edmond]

We red AO.

[cyrille]

4 am, was it?

[Edmond]

[DrWilly]

green owed for the link

[DrWilly]

Wow, that Japanese girl is a grappler!

[Edmond]

^ Yeah, she's a little monster.

my money's on the lass on the right.

Braidy wins, you red chitty.

I'll red him in case you forget.


The headline fight should be fireworks.

Kickboxing world championship.

Haggerty - 2 division Muay Thai world champion.
Andrade - MMA world champion.

[DrWilly]

That real of body shot KOs was ouch!


Just absolutely brutal. The lighter gloves make a stomach or kidney shot deadly.

[Edmond]

Yeah 'Folded him like origami' is a favourite line of the One Championship commentator.


To commentate the Supergirl fight, I would say: 'What you saw there, was what happens when a technically skilled Thai fighter commits to the Thai style of setting the first round up as a range finder, but comes up against a world class foreign brawler that goes for war straight off the bell.

SG may have been practicing Muay Thai since the age of 3, but she doesn't have the real heart, desire and tank to go into a bloody, brawling war. If she really wants to make it at an elite level, she needs to get comfortable with going straight into a bloody dog-fight straight off the bat, but perhaps she doesn't have the gas tank and desire for that'.

[Edmond]

The headline fight should be fireworks.

Kickboxing world championship.

Haggerty - 2 division Muay Thai world champion.
Andrade - MMA world champion.

Congratulations Mason Mount.


2 sport world champion, Muay Thai and Kickboxing, and saying he wants to make it 3 by adding the MMA belt a la Stamp Fairtex.


The kid's ambitious, I would wager that his ambition outweighs his MMA ability though.

[Edmond]

Some big boy battles at the weekend.




I'm in the position that would like to see all 4 of the main fighters win as I like them all.


Jiri and Pavlovich?

Can Pavo take Tom's speed, can Tom take Pavo's power?

Here’s the story: Buakaw Banchamek Wants to Fight Conor McGregor - Beyond Kickboxing

[Edmond]

^ Who doesn't want to fight Conor McGregor. 5 million quid and an easy victory.

When Oliveira won the belt at 155 his immediate call out was to forget about the belt and to fight Conor at 170.

[dirk diggler]

Bareknuckle is a different animal altogether.

[Edmond]

Sure is.

Conor's been at a few of the BKFC event (I'm sure you know) and stated he would be interested in competing once officially done with the UFC. Can't see it happening myself. Was good to see him at the Eddie Alvarez v Chad BKFC fight and shout in advice to Eddie from the crowd, which he then followed.

[Edmond]

Can Pavo take Tom's speed,

Nope.

Congrats to the English gentleman. Some of the Brit boys woulda made a few bob on that one.

[Edmond]

Just catching up with this morning's Fight Night.

2 weeks time.

How good is the card for UFC296!




Every fight is a must watch.

Reckon Garry's gonna try have a go at Wonderboy behind the scenes.

Johan Ghazali, the cocky 17 yr old is one to watch. Half Yankee half Malaysian, came into One Championship at 16 yrs old and kicked ass 3 or so times, got his $100,000 usd contract the last time.
