Jan 5, 2015 MAIN CARD (FOX Sports 1, 10 p.m. ET) Conor McGregor vs. Dennis Siver Donald Cerrone vs. Benson Henderson Uriah Hall vs. Louis Taylor Norman Parke vs. Gleison Tibau PRELIMINARY CARD (FOX Sports 1, 7 p.m. ET) Cathal Pendred vs. Sean Spencer John Howard vs. Lorenz Larkin Zhang Lipeng vs. Chris Wade Patrick Holohan vs. Shane Howell Johnny Case vs. Frankie Perez Charles Rosa vs. Sean Soriano PRELIMINARY CARD (UFC Fight Pass, 6 p.m. ET) Sean O’Connell vs. Matt Van Buren Tateki Matsuda vs. Joby Sanchez Not a real stacked card, but the main card is solid. Kinda sucks the Alvarez/Bendo fight isnt the main event because that should be 5 rounds and Conor should win in the first round. Also sucks that Philippou got hurt because that fight with Uriah Hall was gonna be a good one.
Jan 12, 2015 ^sounds like his opponent took the fight hurt, just so he could get into the UFC. Glad they cut him after he pulled out, aint nobody got time for that. Anyways former SF fighter Ron Stallings took the fight, should be a lay up for Uriah. NFL playoffs. Patriots are playing the Colts at 6:40 ET, so they decided to do the main card from 10-12. Normally the main cards on fight night events are on from 10-1 but on Sunday night i guess they wanted to do it earlier. This card being on a Sunday was weird from the jump since the Pats were so likely to be hosting the AFC Championship in Foxborough, which is about 30 miles from Boston. But i guess they wanted Conor to fight in Boston and they couldnt do it on Saturday due to the Bruins(NHL) having a game the night before and supposedly a lot of Irish are traveling for the event and know nothing about the NFL. Either way the Prelims will do atrocious numbers on FS1 but the game will be over by the time the main card starts.
Jan 12, 2015 no ones tryin to face Hall haha glad he got an opponent though wish this event wasn't on so late on a sunday
Jan 12, 2015 Ya Monday is Martin Luther King JR. Day in the states though so its not that bad for me. Hopefully watch the Pats punch another ticket to the Superbowl and then watch the event.
Jan 15, 2015 Can't wait to see my fellow Irishman fight again. With a win he gets a title shot and i heard Jose Aldo will be there in the crowd to watch the fight.
Jan 15, 2015 Don't watch UFC but always interested in Mcgregor's fights as he is a great character already a big star in Ireland too.
Jan 16, 2015 ^you have to be the only one who doesnt want to see McGregor vs Aldo lol Love him or hate him the UFC needs him right now.
Jan 16, 2015 Haha, Nah I'm all for McGregor winning, I just feel terrible (steroid s--- aside) that Siver gets s--- on and 0 publicity. I just want him to push McGregor a bit, maybe get a little respect. McGregor 100% wins and we get the Aldo fight, I'm excited for that no doubt about it. I said if McGregor beat Poirier I would jump on the bandwagon and believe the hype, and he did just that.
Jan 17, 2015 That Q&A was terrible. I'm sorry but the UFC really needs to either stop the drinking for Q&A or filter questions. It can be funny, but the last 2 Q&A's I've watched, people were hammered, but with CM Punk and Anik they could kind of take control of the situation, this one, Aldo not speaking english and Jorge being deaf, and every other guy harassing Megan they had to cut it short. I realize the questions were probably never going to be good to Aldo, but it could of been better.
