    Watching from 11am right through until the final knockout was a helluva lot longer than 13 seconds.... But the result was well worth the wait!
  20. UFC

    I agree with the Condit and Lawler loss.... That was massive! I was looking forward to that, big time! At least you were there to see Ryan Bader knock Keith Jardine out at 110.... Epic! I will agree to disagree in regards to the card at 193 as I am a huge fan of Jedrzejczyk and having her there tipped the card in my favour Regardless of any previous cards, this weekend is going to be one for the ages.... Cannot wait!
  21. UFC

    You cannot be serious? I have never posted in this thread, purely on the basis that I only come here to talk footy, but UFC 193 in Melbourne was a huge event in the MMA world! Ronda Rousey v Holly Holm was a fight that, to steal a phrase from another high profile American hero, "Millions.....and MILLIONS" of people were waiting for. Smashing the all time attendance record, previously held by UFC 129. The gate takings sit 4th in UFC history behind (Obviously ticket prices higher at these others) UFC 129 - GSP v Shields in GSP's home country (Canada) at the height of his fame UFC 189 - McGregor v Mendez (The former being the biggest drawcard on the roster) UFC 148 - Silva v Sonnen II (After Chael nearly defeated Silva in the first fight and a hype for this fight like few in fight history) For Melbourne, Australia to achieve this is phenomenal in the scheme of things! The card was huge if you are a true fighting fan and the fact that UFC 193 smashed the Commercial Purchases record (i.e.. Bars, Clubs, and other venues) previously held by Lesnar v Velasquez back at UFC 121, is a testament to the Melbourne sporting lovers. The next card to hit Melbourne (albeit probably not at Etihad as it was a poor choice) will no doubt be another huge card as the UFC are aware that the attendance will be there. You cannot compare UFC 193 with what we are about to witness next Sunday at UFC 194. It is apples and oranges! Seeing Ronda, Jedrzejczyk, Mark Hunt, Robert Whittaker and the like is a big deal and should not be scoffed at. But.... Conor McGregor v Jose Aldo and Chris Weidman v Luke Rockhold is, as you said, "Off it's head" and will smash the records out of the park in regards to PPV numbers, but they are hardly going to bring that fight to Melbourne when if to be held overseas it should've rightfully been in Dublin, Ireland... Regardless, grab some mates, drink some beers and watch one of the biggest fight events the world has ever seen next Sunday 13th December
  22. haha.... Monster.... Now bring on Liam Patrick at 50....

    I agree 100% ...... That match was unbelievable..... Flicked over to Ch7 to watch the first couple of games (was watching the cricket on Ch9) and then thought, "Screw the cricket!" Verdasco hit winner after winner after winner..... and not once did he back off his gameplan..... Punish Rafa into submission.... I am still excited and a part of me is glad that Rafa won, so we can see the final everyone has anticipated.... But Verdasco has No 1 written all over him!! Verdasco has instantly won me as a follower after his efforts in that match! As long as he keeps getting his local farmer to grow those "Magic Apples" he will be a name in the Top 10 for years to come..... Great Match
