I'm the same. Never been particularly squeamish, but the few times I've watched UFC, I'm just anticipating a leg or an arm getting snapped, and the mere thought of it makes me feel physically sick. Think it stems from seeing an arm wrestling video years ago when one of the competitors arms broke. 🤢

That's the best bit!

nothing scripted with paddy, just how he is

seems a really down to earth lad

will be very limited at the highest level though unless he can improve his striking

signed a mega deal with barstool sports though

He's an odd character. Had never heard of him till last night. Looks like a 70's throw-back, and has slightly camp mannerisms. I thought he was a bit of a twat until he shouted "Fuck the Tories" and "Don't buy The Sun - it's a RAG!". Good on him.

I rest my case.

I presume he's hoping to have a few more fights, build his profile, and then get promoted to WWE in time for next years Wrestlemania

Depends if he's any good at the acting side of pro-wrestling he's definitely got the showmanship and physical ability.

Theres more than a few real fighters tried their hand at pro-wrestling and failed badly. Floyd Mayweather and Ricky Hatton were both wooden as fuck.

Conversely Phil 'CM Punk' Brooks is one of the best pro-wrestlers going and was shite at MMA.

The Nature Boy, in his pomp would have battered him

CM Punk had absolutely no business stepping into the octagon. I had no idea who he was before I watched it and I thought they had grabbed some no mark out of the crowd to fill a gap. 
UFC fighters shouldn’t  try boxing either. Boxers spend their entire career training for 12 round fights. McGregor was gassed by the 6th with Mayweather. Stick to your lanes lads.

Breaking arms, mouthy pigeon chested scousers, mauling each others genitals, rolling around on the floor, smacking people who are knocked out - an amateur boxer would muller them under Queensbury rules. It's farcical. If boxing is the sweet science UFC is the sport of bums who can't box. Imagine paying £25 to watch that crap.

He was pissed off with the WWE hierarchy and was at the height of his wrestling fame. Dana saw the chance to make some money on the back of his name. The massive gap between him leaving pro wrestling and his first UFC fight should have been a clue as to how bad he was doing. He was wayyyyy out of his depth.

The poor man's McGregor fights tomorrow night on BTS.

I'm actually going to that, my mate asked me if I wanted a ticket...I said yes......he said "I've just bought them....that'll be £160 please"  -  I was expecting the tickets to be about £40 each

Anyway, first fight on the card is at 3pm......with a total of about 15 or 16 fights I think

It's a cracking card 

The last one in London was packed with KOs

Is this the one where it’s like watching 2 hobo’s scrapping over a tray of leftover fish n chips in an underpass?

Me or him?

You only WISH you were a scouser

Which is strange to say the least.

Much like boxing it depends on the fighters.

some bouts can just be 2 bods rolling round on the floor cuddling others are brilliant scraps.

Wlad Klitschko and Tyson Fury are both heavyweight boxing champs but a Klitschko fight was dull as fuck
