Really looking forward to UFC 189! Rooting for Brown, Lawler, Thatch and McGregor. McGregor simply because I want to watch him fight Aldo since Aldo backed out if this fight due to a bruised rib. The rest of the card looks good also!

I used to watch every ufc and pride and k1 that came on. Stopped watching several years ago. Just didn't seem like they were fighting to win anymore. About the time Hughes stepped out so did I.
Connor had best put one heck of a showing on. I don't doubt he will win but the amount of trash talking the man does he better be able to back it. Don't really think aldo is going to put up much of a fight when the time comes.

Used to be a pretty big fan. PPV prices went up and a lot of the fighters I used to follow retired. I honestly don't remember the last UFC I watched.

Same as the other..used to be a big fan, stopped watching several years ago. Think the last ppv I got was 100 when Lesnar fought Mir again.
Just very recently started watching a few fights/shows on TV again. 189 does look pretty good.

I don't get many PPV events. Too expensive but, when you have a few guys over and they all chip in it's not too bad. I think Conner is going to have his biggest test tonight. He runs his mouth a lot and knows how to win the mental game. He is pretty talented also but, anything can happen inside the cage.

MMA in general has gotten a bit dull, perhaps it's time they took the next step in their evolution, gladiatorial combat with weapons. I'd pay to see a live version of Spartacus any day.

Big fan here already paid the cash for tonight's fight. Much rather seen Aldo fight and after all the hype was surprised to see a bruised rib shut him down. Hope Lawler knocks out McDonald, but I have my doubts this time.

Prelims were ok but the main card has been awesome so far! Lawler/McDonald coming up next |

Lawler-Mcdonald fight one of the best in a long time. Can't believe the judges had Mcdonald winning the fight before Lawler put him down. At only 25 years old McDonald will be champ one day.
Chad and Conner,,,,,,,,,,,a big time let down for me. Almost looked like Mendez took a fall. Neither of them impressed me much. Aldo will destroy McGreggor and Dana will make a billion when they meet.
That first fight was a brutal KO, but can't believe how fast he got back up on his feet. I would still be laying on the mat after a knee to the face like that.

they priced me out of interest years ago. its a shame too The prices are steep. The wife and I splurge about 3 times a year for a PPV fight (shes a bigger fan than I am). You can pretty well see it all on the post fight show except if there was a KO or submission, they will not show that. We never missed a Jon Jones fight, but that sure has changed now. I hope he can get his life straighten out. It's ashamed what he's done. He had the MMA world at his feet and was on track to become a legend in the sport. |

Yeah the prices stink but, have a few guys split the cost and it's not bad. Jones was amazing! I hope he comes back clean and just as good. Hope he does some maturing during his time off |
