Aye Pool players would beat snooker players on every other table bar a snooker one :)

This would make more sense if the argument was about how big the ring is 🙂

Dana White will be fuming at that result because he was only getting Khabib back for McGregor which would be the one of biggest PPV in UFC history.

Mcgregor has donated 500k to Poiriers charity, The Good Fight Foundation 

Nice touch 

 

 

And a decent attempt at trying to salvage some decency after twatting old men in bars :)

What do people think about the BKB stuff, watched a lot the last couple of weeks, Jimmy Sweeney, Franco and some other mad fuckers.

Personally its intriguing, they get cut straightaway, a few windmills are thrown, but it's pretty much boxing without gloves.... but tougher.

Nothing like boxing. And tougher? 😅

It's closer to the windmillers in town on a Saturday night that proper boxing.

 

Chest beating nonsense.

Not forgetting all the PPE he bought for hospitals in Ireland during the pandemic

Have you seen his interviews and press conferences? He’s like a different person, incredibly calm and not provocative

I put that down to damage limitation of his brand....

Probably something to do with it, his Whiskey is a sponsor of the UFC which probably changes his outlook

Yeah I like him. There’s something about dickhead fighters I like, Tyson, Fury, McGregor
I think it’s the starting from nothing then becoming the biggest name in their sports, you have to admire that. Just wish he wouldn’t hit old people but you can’t have it all 😁

MMA is a weird sport losing 5-10 times in your career isn’t seen as that bad, mainly because they have to be nuts to get in there not to mention the amount of work they put in for 2/3 fights a year is insane

Maybe, but I wouldn't want to get in with any of them, you could say the same with UFC and some boxers, have you see Derek Chisora 😁

The chest beating in the professional game is all part of the theatre and to sell tickets. Yes, I wouldn't want to get in with any of them. But for the same reasons I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of Aaron from New Bury while on a night out. BKB as entertainment has a car crash look about it. The two Pikeys going at it earlier on is a classic example.

It's getting better but a lot of the fights are still pretty poor technically.

This is the best bare knuckle fight I've ever seen.

 

Says age restricted and then wants credit card details to verify my age! It can Fuck off!

What’s the vid title so I can search it please?

"Gypsy Fight 2013 smith v mason"

Kent's link works fine for me, but that's probably because I'm logged into my youtube account.

That's one of the things I like about MMA. You're not written off because you lose one fight. 

Thai is my favourite and decent Thai fighters can end up with 300+ bouts. The further you tip the 50/50 ratio in your favour the better.

Less likely to end up with brain damage with smaller/no gloves which is also a bonus!

They're already brain damaged to begin with, so it's a moot point. Anyway, I thought these Gypsy fights were supposed to be the traditional, manly way to resolve an argument? In that one, they were still arguing about their original dispute after beating the shit out of each other for 20 minutes!

That’s what bugs me about boxing, Joshua and Wilder both lost one and people talk about them like they’re ex bouncers and forget about their records of who they have beaten. UFC apart from that boring bastard Khabib they all take losses and carry on.

Yeah they don't seem to have got it out if their systems despite having pummeled each other for the best part of half an hour! :)

To be fair to bouncers I’ve seen a few with more technical ability than wilder

Mate just because a bouncer knocked you out doesn’t mean they were a former boxer. Just accept it and let it go

It wasn’t just a knockout though, he got me with a great combo. So I was told 😂
