Whatever about one liking the sport as spectacle or finding the sudden hype to be bandwagon hopping, etc - everyone should bear in mind that two long standing members of the site have excellent training logs dedicated to forms of martial art fighting (Mellor and TomD). It's not some remote joke of a thing. It's a real sport that requires dedication and discipline over a long period.

And ultimately, anything that involves people trying to be the best athlete they can personally be and challenging themselves physically and mentally in pursuit of personal betterment can only be a good thing. Throwing around 'gay porn' jibes is a little disappointing tbh.

Lloyd has the ghay for Mellor and TomD obv.

TG4 have been promoting fairly heavily a promising new Irish music show called Bosca Ceol, for some reason they have decided to put it out on Sunday nights up against the Imelda May show.

I remember the ken Shamrock days, "there are no rules"

Like the gladiator feel to it, 2 consenting adults beating the bejesus out of each other..not a bother.

I have the first 4-5 UFC Championships on video from years ago before DVDs were big on the scene. I think Royce Gracie beat Shamrock in the first one. It was mad back then because it was a knockout style so you started with 8-16 people and had to win 3-4 fights to get the job done. Alternates standing by incase someone couldn't carry on which happened a few times.

Royce Gracie was the man. Hated watching him fighting (rolling around and mounting his opponent almost exclusively) but couldn't argue with the results. I think everyone with even a passing interest in MMA will have heard of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and be aware of the family. I think there's clubs in Dublin now. It's all change now in UFC 178!

It was a lot more brutal back then too, with not as many rules in place as there is now.

Hope not. I know they've had serious problems with customer service staff as in they have none that are trained. Hope you get sorted as they have/had so much potential.

I've watched bits of boxing over the years, some of the bigger fights anyhow, the likes of Manny Pacquioa (or however you spell it) mayweather, Hatton, and some of the older stuff from the 90's, but I'm hardly what I'd call a proper fan. I've also watched bits of wresting to various degrees over the years.

I think what turned me off UFC in the small sample size I've watched was the fact that they could be on the ground holding and not much else happening for a couple of minutes at a time.

The whole middle of the night element to it wouldn't endear me to herself anyhow, whatever about the edgy violent aspect.

Thats fair enough, would never want to stay/get up myself even last nite, i dl it when i get up on sunday morning!. Stuck in the clinch by accident or design is only allowed to go on if it could end up productive in the view of the ref. Those bjj(brazillian jiu-jitzu bastards love this) and is what strikers like McGregor try to avoid. But can be interesting to see can someone get a submission in or be able to escape.

Myself and the wife devoured this over the weekend. Brilliant stuff. Much obliged good doctor. Brian Cox really gives the media side of your science a bad rep - they need to send Jim Al'khalili out to front the area a lot more.

Glad you enjoyed it. Next up you should watch Light & Dark, again with Jim doing the talking. It's better than the chemistry one, obviously, because it's about physics.

They should perhaps consider hiring an odds compiler or two instead of scalping easily manipulated Betfair prices.

They have a few of these already i believe and are actually expanding taking another floor up in Sandyford.

[shano1888]

Why does the GAA use the cameras on the opposite side of the pitch for ladies football and Camogie? Is it to emphasise the fact that they want to differentiate between the mens and ladies versions of the games? It's pretty bizarre that there are slightly different rules in the first place, almost like the GAA are collectively patting the ladies on the heads for trying their best to play.

They should be ran off at half time in the AI finals tbf.

[NewApproach]

Not in Horseracing they don't, they just take betfair win prices, deduct a certain percentage, then proceed to offer usual fixed odds place terms on those adjusted betfair win prices. Solid business model.

[The Situation]

Inevitable it would happen eventually, hope you get sorted.

First two times I contacted they said there was a backlog of settlements and they'll get it settled asap then third time they said they were having issue settling certain markets within that particular match. Not sure even if that is the case why they couldn't just manually settle them at this stage.

It's only around a monkey so I'm sure I'll get it but just very sub standard customer service.

Such a difficult weekend. Got hit by this really badly on Friday and haven't been right since.

The GAA have no particular control over either ladies football or camogie both of which are run by separate organisations.

Wat? Surely its just separate committees within the GAA

I'd guess the cameras are on the other side so as not to show a 99% empty stand all the time.

Just caught up on McGregor fight and seen comments wondering how dangerous it is and if ppl get killed in it. Gloves made boxing more dangerous.

I

n 100 years of bare-knuckle fighting in the United States, which terminated around 1897 with a John L Sullivan heavyweight championship fight, there wasn’t a single ring fatality. Today, there are three or four every year in the US, and around 15 per cent of professional fighters suffer some form of permanent brain damage during their career

[shortstack]

Tom Kitt is the new Winamax Poker Open champ! First Irish winner since Alan Trueick.

[Mellor]

Moreover, if you actually were going to have a fighter take a dive why have him buckle like that, i.e. a way in which people with a lack of knowledge about fights and / or looking to detract could easily latch onto?

This

McGregor hit him with a big shot that rocked him, then caught him behind the ear less than a half minute later. Not the cleanest knockout, but a solid knockout nonetheless.

And this imo.

I'm not going to be so silly as to suggest a fighter has never thrown a fight in the UFC. That would be silly, especially when a fighter could know he is on the way out and any number of Vegas bookies will take bets on the finish.
But Porrier was a top 5 fighter, with 10 UFC fights, 8 wins. The loss yesterday was a decent career set back. It'll will take him a few wind to regain his place. Earnings wise, the loss is a big hit. I really don't think they could make it worth his while.
