Anyone see the Kimbo Slice v Dada 5000 fight last night?

What a complete embarrassment. Both were gassed after 2 minutes and I have never seen so many punches miss completely.

This is the KO (if you can call it that), Dada just fell over from being knackered.

Almost as bad as the Shamrock vs Gracie fight. Shamrock pretending he was kneed in the groin was so fake.

Watched it last night on Spike, the replay clearly showed him being kneed in the groin. That Kimbo was more embarrassing for sure.

Dada was in hospital overnight and his heart stopped at one point.

Texas is the most liberal (read: crazy) athletic commission in the US, it's said they'd approve anything. I have no idea why anyone would possibly want to see Shamrock fight in 2016, and Slice has never had a good MMA match.

McGregor/Dos Anjos off as Dos Anjos is injured. Still quite likely McGregor will fight on the card, we'll see.

Bisping/Silva this weekend.

What is it with these Brazilians who keep pulling out of fights with Conor.

Why isn't the UFC fight on BT sport? I noticed that the card is running h2h against Frampton vs Quigg yet they want people to buy a fight pass. Kinda strange.

Trying to drum up interest for fight pass and get more subscribers. Not a fan of it myself and even less so considering it's one of the biggest fights the UFC have done in the UK to date, should have been sticking this on television and promoting the hell out of it.

Nate Diaz is very special. Was watching the press conference between him and Connor McGregor just now and Nate twice said all UFC fighters are on steroids. Then I think every other word he managed to say was ****, shit and pussy.

Connor to was pretty annoying just kept going on and on about money. Not in it for the belts he said, only motivated by money. Sod the legacy then!

Pretty embarrassing watching it with those two going at it

The obvious problem with this is if it's on short notice God knows how Diaz is passing the piss test.

I'd be more worried if he had to pass a IQ test

Well that fight was probably worth the six quid, in my 'umble opinion.

I went for the boxing in the end, even though I prefer UFC , although I probably made the wrong choice in hindsight , I just can't stomach seeing anymore of Anderson Silva tbh

Seriously, Bisbing should know you defend yourself at all times. Creditable performance by him, so tired of Silva's antics now, he doesn't have the chin to be that foolish.

As much as it would be great to see him have another run at the title I think he looks past it now, either that or he was on steroids for his entire career. Considering he used to be able to knock guys out with a flick of his fist, maybe he's just old.

So upset about the McGregor fight, the Diaz brothers are always entertaining, hate it when there is two fighters I like in there.

Finally caught up with Bisping v Silvia. Cracking fight. Never liked Bispin ever since he acted like a complete knob when he was coach on the Ultimate fighter. Was so glad when Henderson gave him a whupping. But I've got to give him props for the fight he fought though. Always aggressive and recovered (with help from the ref) from a near-knockout. As someone else said, the better fighter lost to the guy who fought the better fight.

Is that the end for Silvia now?

Nate should've told Conor that he's free to come down and join in his kids jiu jitsu class.

Not sure why the media are making it out to be a shock, both are winners really, going up two weight classes is no mean feat.

They all so well built it's not until they face each other in the cage you see the size difference, McGregor looked very small in comparison.

Look forward to their next fights.
