I couldn't find any other websites anywhere reported the deal which is odd so not trusting it
Meltzer (mmafighting.com as well as the WO) posted "While not completed, almost all expectations are that UFC will renew its deal with BT Sports in the U.K. for several more years" on Thursday.

The NFL suspended Jon Jones brother Arthur, who plays for the Indianapolis Colts, he failed a drug test.

So when can we consider Holly the new Buster Douglas?

The Women's bantamweight division is insane right now

BT have kept the rights until 2018.

It seems a little strange to me that the UFC obviously don't really want to push Fight Pass over here with BT 'offering every UFC event across the globe'. Very happy with the deal, though I wish BT would now do a separate deal with Fox to show the pre and post fight shows, UFC Tonight etc.

Some good fights last night with Woodley knocking Lawler out very quickly.

The UFC has been nuts this year, seven title changes already.

Bisping has said UFC 204 will be from Manchester on October 8th, with him v Dan Henderson as the main event. Presumably is still going to be a 3-6am show though.

What are we all predicting for Conor v Diaz then? I think Conor may sneak the win this time, going to be very close though.

Diaz will submit him in two rounds...cannot see Mcgregor winning

McGregor is still the more creative, explosive fighter here. But Diaz is so durable everywhere it's ridiculous. They don't come much tougher than him.

It's hard not to envisage McGregor going tired again regardless of how well his training camp went this time. He just doesn't look like someone who can get through 25 tough minutes in the octagon. He only managed 7 last time at a pace that wasn't quite as frenetic as it's made out to be. He faded badly from a dominant position. Second wind? Forget it.

McGregor has a chance to even the score with those unpredictable bombs, but the smart pickers seems to be expecting that gas tank to run dry once more.

Coral are doing a special offer on for the fight, 8/1 on McGregor to win. Limited to a fiver bet but maybe worth a punt?

Some quick fights tonight/morning. Diaz to win by submission near the end of the first round.

Outstanding from Conor McGregor, and very, very wise to move to 155 fr his next fight. He's too big for 145 and too small for 170, so it's a no brainer really. To take the fight again at 170 showed he is the true warrior of UFC with Nate Diaz not far behind.

Amazing fight and both of them did great. It was such a close fight and to be honest it could of gone either way at the end. Conor was breathing very heavy from the 3rd round on but those 1st two rounds he was in complete control. Diaz is so durable and gets better as the fights goes on.

This fight should of been on at UFC 200 as it was a instant classic but they have to make it a trilogy fight now. Both fighters will make so much money from it as would the UFC, makes business sense from all sides.

That was a great fight to watch and I'm glad I put some money on Connor last night to win.

Its a shame that the Anthony Johnson fight was over so quickly but what a punch

At the start of the 4th it seemed that Diaz was about to walk McGregor down and get him out of there, but he didn't seen to have it in him which was surprising at the time.

Great win for Johnson but it essentially proves very little. We already knew he has huge power but we've no idea if he can do any better against Cormier in a rematch. I always find early stoppages frustrating!

You were saying

Great fight, went pretty much how I was expecting and pocketed me a fair few quid!

Nate has zero chance of beating him at 155, and he probably doesn't care as long as he gets paid.

For me he looked like he couldn't be bothered and he was nowhere near as good as the previous fight. I think if both fighters fought their best Diaz would win any day of the week.

Great fight, for me McGregor definitely won that , for me he won round 1&2 he lost round 3 i though he might lose the fight in that round he was completely gassed, but then he got a second wind to win round 4 , i gave the 5th round to Nate, so i think the points win was correct.

It will be interesting to see if Nate will come down to 155 to fight a trilogy, it looks bad imo if he doesnt , we have had 2 fights at 170 where he has the advantage, if he can't come down to 155 then if i was McGregor i would walk away and carry on with his title career at 155.

I really hope Rumble Johnson becomes champ , i think the guy is class.

Diaz was most certainly not at his best.

Nate wanted the second fight at 155 it was Connor who insisted on 170
