Was. Little to The place is going to last. Steps into the on going to the notorious case back we thought this is the biggest enemy fighter both time and you know what I think that's the truth as Connor attempts to get his light weight size and back from the undefeated undisputed champion could be a medal for the next 2 hours we'll have live coverage of the entire main card including that big big fight at around about 5 am U.K. Time and I give you the no money back guarantee that we know it has a big at any point. On this card now if you've been listening to the podcast this week and of course you have you already know sports journalist that he helped make and I was on you know X. Of sci fi today and Hardy who would have to nail to the floor is that excites a whole host of Jack on hold still and to add as well to this is we're at the pointy end right now the night you say we had Brendan Fitzgerald a play by play commentator Hello Brendon I love thrilled to be with you guys so that we don't know we we've been to press conferences we've been to open workouts we've stood around we've chatted to fans we've been like kids waiting for Christmas that was never going to arrive they spent such a long weekend such a long week every event has been spectacular this week the face off the media day the open would pass there's been a storyline there's been an addition to the narrative opinions have changed and shifted what a week it's been I am right on the fence my my backside is hurting from sitting on the friends right now. In the T. Mobile arena if you're American the team noble arena here in Las Vegas right down just off the Strip right now this arena is not full it is already loud but you know outside the con McGregor fans Nick they are in town absolutely the little garden space outside here being as absolutely pounce of might now Irish flags everywhere everyone singing and dancing is kind of McGregor lookalikes everywhere you look the Black Caps everything this place is going to explode later on this is a real bad blood fight isn't it it's an absolute bad blood but this is not it's not fake it's not messing around these are 2 guys that hate each other and. Salute you this is been burning for some time now let me say this you know this robbery then actually because they're in the same weight class. Was watching Connor as he was rising because everybody was watching Connor but then when the drama happened between the beeping all the time that really brought kind of McGregor into this time and then you know the New York press conference happened the bus attack all the drama around that they be opinions on either side of the fence but that interaction as well but ultimately we're here now and the balance on the line and that's the most that thing now I just feel like bases I mean we keep saying that it is the biggest part and you have the history it is I mean you kind of McGregor taking on the undefeated lightweight champion the world the guy that took his belt what kind of a great guy had to hand over to step in the box of what a night is going to play it's worth pointing out if you haven't followed the poll castaway that could be a massive favorite we follow the betting lines the way you know how much they can bookies that I know money where it sat absolutely I think you're just looking at the odds right now and use translates basically translates to English money as one so it's not so much of a favorites here as he's wanted to be he's better than it is on the to this could be to be kind of I guess the reason being of course coming back has been active in the school for the best part of 2 years now could be his own defeats in 26 fights there's no blueprint to beat this guy that's the problem he's fancy him but you know what you spoke to the head make over at M.G.M. Resorts he said there's more tickets going on Kona McGregor the small bets on kind of McGregor But the high rollers he don't bet against the big money that is going on could be Nick I think it tells a story as a former sports book employee myself it tells a story big knew they were going to get a lion's share of the money if you will on Connor McGregor and yet he is still the favorite I think this is what they call in America a pros versus Joe's type of bet the pros that make their living on betting that they're on have beaten him I got off at the Joes the fans the the many many Irish fans that made the trip and really in the United States and worldwide that love Connor McGregor and his story his spectacle they put a lot of money down on. Because if we were going to go and kill statistics we were going to go on the scale with the Commodore the House and the things but he's not good I could be he's better at wrestling them than than anyone else in the sport really knows how to do it but even if you take the into account this is called the McGregor eat just has an all round him to make make people believe he can do the extraordinary Yeah he goes oh we can't underestimate his ground game as well you know I go back to the the inside the Ultima I did he wanted an 8 X. God sweet against that against maybe as in the 1st round anybody that knows you knows how difficult that is to do and knows how impressive it is that do in the 1st round against maybe as we just go back to the question I'll tell you something very interesting yesterday Dana White was on the conversation with a couple of guys backstage and apparently the big money has been going on the people he's been in so few people or people in picture somebody on T.V. Where is close enough there's lots and lots of small but it's going on so the likelihood is that the the few individuals that supports you could be booked in a lot of money on him where is going to be the money Stricklin but it's possible widespread the impact it's possible that this is going to be a very tactical fight it could be get his way it's going to go to the ground just describe out move the call it did on day outs just describe it what it is how it works why it started pressing so basically that there was a bit of a scramble and it's going to London it's going to land on the floor and this day as it was it was stepping into a god kind of was able to create some space using these legs the resistance got sweeping because you usually exit next to create space between the legs so we control 11 leg with these arms control deal the like with his legs and separate at the base of maybe as the spokes and his balance a quote I was able to get top position is a very very high level we may be as is a very high level but so it's impressive that one was able to do that and then we go back to the much smaller way 500 dominates it with wrestling with with you know top control about flight I think people are going to be surprised the thing that lets kind of down in these situations it is conditioning if you're supposed to defend and defend and defend That's what he's got to take my starts away we've got to say he's been out the. 2 years yeah ring rust is that going to be a thing. It depends really some fighters believe in room being lost some fights essentially don't come a Greg if you look at the condition he's in you know it doesn't look like he's been out of shape he's been both a good result 2 years away yes but a big part of those 2 years he was training to fight for it Mayweather so he was working on a standup game which is known as boxing so you could argue is Hands going to be faster never spoke makes me better than ever and that's obviously his biggest strength Anyway I read something recently that was interesting to that point too about the Rick Ross at the 2 years off of the long layoff and somebody wrote. Couldn't give added to his skill set in that time we know he's a dedicated fighter we know that he trains in a dedicated manner and we know that he had a lot of room to improve in the defense of wrestling arena might he have done that for a while and obviously worked on the boxing it gets better weather for a long time for that too but we could see a different kind of a greater in a good way instead of a guy who has been around for a long time salute it with good I've heard both the John Calvin and already this week both say that we're going to notice that a considerable difference in kind of the greatest boxing in the spine and I've got to think you know it makes it as you said earlier in the week Nicky admitted that you know he's got a bit of a dropoff with these conditioning right after the Mayweather fight so that somebody would have addressed as well this is John Kavanagh his head coach and right he's striking coach because the way the thing until this week we heard nothing out of the MacGregor camp it was all Normally he does at all he speaks he shouts he screams we got the tiniest amount information that really came from a running if you just the reason people postpone a pact awful assessing Caitlin's this week throughout this entire campaign you know is only a show Company way because he's made a $100000000.00 is the biggest star in the sport he's transcended the U.F.C. He's the biggest star in Wales sports and that will be confirmed tonight so he doesn't feel like he need to do will meet you anymore doesn't need to do all the interviews because he knows it's going to sell out he knows the interest that anyway he knows he's coming back and what that goes along to do is it allows him to focus on his condition want to focus on his technique allows him to focus on his game plan for this fight well that will top. About that far as we go through once again it's going to be live on 5 Live at 5 am full coverage the call and let's go with the 1st thought on that card it is a strong right fight and taken on police tearing in the team in Last Vegas Phillies Herrick 147 goes by the name the little bulldog She's number 9 in this division and she's a similar age she's got a similar record to Warsaw and Bush has been much better over the last few fights last out a split decision last but she's looked strong yet they're both very different fighters military government she lives up to a nickname the little bulldog She's she's very tenacious and a lot of the time for the technical deficit that she has against some of the high level practitioners that she's coming up against she's able to open World Vision able to stay in the fight until the later rounds and start edge in the fight some condition and I you know strength of character alone I'm not feel like it's going to be those kind of fights that's going to that type of fight tonight Michelle Ward is the one that's got the technical advantage range she's she's the karate specialist she'll want to slow this part down so she can pick police haven't gone she's moving in where is police is going to make this scrappy get it to the floor and kind of drama show warts and pressure a little bit like a rose not a union state against the show warts and well place right now she's having some Vaseline applied to her eyes and cheeks as she waits to step into this up to go here in the center of this massive arena I'd like to say we sort of all if you take the fact that we're a 100 meters away in the Gulf going to great view that I want to some She's come out to become Remember this is an entertainment for the site I just chose a journey to come out so I can see the movie Yeah exactly this is a car you know he's special goes into this and to think I'm going to try to work out if we should go later on what songs would do I should go ahead write it as she walks around down just for people who have watched M.M.A. Events before this is a massive oxygen is that this is bigger than most event yeah this is the full size it's going to this is 32 feet across I believe it might be a little bit bigger now but 32 feet across will obviously get the. If you waste a lot more room to move around but you know these 2 are not going to make use of the whole arena tonight I would imagine both of these Michele Woods is going to be moved around but police are we going to make the pill very very small of a show which then begins that walk out they are going to it's not a long walk in the TELL YOU know of the team arena she goes by the karate hockey 156 once again a similar record ranked number 8 in the stroller division she is seen as an underdog for this fight Nick is that to do with the size because she was a massive weight champion which the white class below in which the women's tournament yeah people have said she's maybe not big enough for the white Absolutely you know and I record in the U.F.C. Proves that you know she's won 3 she's lost 2 very popular defines been around a school for a long time based out of a fantastic gym in Albuquerque as you say so much experience but the problem is the U.F.C. Goes on how the female on some weight division so she's had to move up to the stall weight division to compete in a Wales most competitive octagon you know so put yourself on a bit of a disadvantage but make no mistake she loves a fight she's all action and this is going to be super entertaining and she said the police Herrick isn't fast enough for she might be strong she's not fast yeah absolutely but that only really matters if you've got space and distance from a police area you know if she's got her hands on you and she starts to throw you around the All it's going to do with punches as you get back to your feet it doesn't matter really much that she's a piece low or Michelle Ward said needs be open to going to space to really make the most of that speed and not could be closed down so quickly with police Eric we're about to get to this 1st fight here on 5 Live remember 5 am because I'm a Greg it's I can incubate we're about to hand over to Bruce Buffet who may I say is read a fabulous jacket this evening it looks like he's going to casino and take it up some of the carpet and jacket for people who don't know Bruce but he's been around for pretty much the USA but very much so we're going to be coming just because one of the times that we're so. Let's hand over to Bruce buffet to get the 1st spot under way. Right. On the. Biggest for you 29. Ers is not regular. 2 2 to get your 1st taste of Harley Davidson adrenaline age guys deed dot com 6.

Boys of the open hall rather a boxing announcer Michael let's get into this as they stare each other down at the center of Octagon. Brendan. Thank you very much. For being with. Us. Veteran referee Jason called the action at strong weight police Harry. Starting out being the aggressor as he predicted day and now they stand at the center of the octagon and they get a terror a coup fires a left kick and just as you mentioned she will be poster here but ice counterattack from her show Waterson have very nice she's using great lateral movement is Michelle Ward said you could see a throw in that lead leg up now she's got such good looks ability she uses not Lee like almost like a jab jab she picks her opponent's appall with it and as we still complete her we can take control the sense of trying to close the distance down to get our hands on the show water because this is the range she's dangerous nice Obama right from police hairy fish. Water She continued to circle to her left just misses but I can't get her to stop the car right. So it's her countryside washed out our checks really out of the action we're about one minute into the 1st of 3 rounds and destroyed division the 2 stand at the center again Waterson fires a kick up high areas out of the way nice other high kicks from Watership area again trying to move forward in the water since circling to her right as they stand in under 3 minutes to go in the 1st Crouch see just show walks right now is read it please Harry she's she's trying to figure out her avenues of attack is a police area moving forward because if she said earlier in an interview that she's the past the fights are here so she feels like maybe she can punish really scary especially if she starts going over zealous it starts getting frustrated with the movement of will to sit down Waterson you mention the movement she circles around to right standing on the outside of her able to walk her down and fires a kick but Waterson out of the way once again there are punch there by Waterson up top just business everything seems been falling short of police Herrick at the moment she's tried a couple of kicks few punches but the show will accept given that space trying to drool police Harrigan at the moment I was a little timid to engage a real feeling out process here in the 1st round match with the show Waterson was saying at interviews this week on the other side for Felice Herrick she made the most waves by what she had to say about Connor McGregor and her disapproval of a Sacha Baron scolding fires of people right hand that connected and how they clinch against the fence the show water supply their back to the fence and Herrick looks to a baby attempt to take down here she's in the body walk there yes she's got strong Dublin don't say she's trying to get our hands together with the don't know books trying to get some head position here but she's going with the back up against the fence she really needs to take it on the hook so she can circle off the fence and try to get some space because this is what police Herrick want she can really drowned repression hand she can look take there and she can use that dirty box in and take away the kicking game of will to sit on her 90 seconds to go in the 1st of 3 rounds as Harry continues to force the pressure on to show water sit water since b
