In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I can't beleive the Iceman is no longer a hard man of UFC, what is happening with Arlovski?
Arlovski's contract never got renewed, UFC probably made a mistake there but I dont know the terms, maybe he was offered one but didnt agree on the terms?
Iceman is still one of the top fighters, but a new fighter bursting onto the scene can't be a bad thing? For Chuck its all about how well he bounces back from defeat, again.
I'm so looking forward to tonight, possibly the best ever fight card for an event.

Spent over a few hours on Youtube, but what I didn't know was Kimbo Slice got a beating by a kid (Seth Petruzelli) 
Well done to that kid, any other new news about Mr Kimbo
By the way did Kimbo fight Shamrock?

Kimbo Slice was just waiting to be found out, he was a fad I believe he is now a free agent, he's not a mix martial artist but a pub brawler.
Think the kid who beat him was a last minute replacement for injured Shamrock.

So will that fight take place or not?
No contract = no fight.
There were rumours that he was going to get a UFC 1 match contract, but cant see it happening myself.

Ah, is that tonight? That's poor, I was hoping to go to bed early :x

GOnna be a late one tonight lads. Can't wait for this
Yep, going to regret staying up all night tomorrow, lets hope the fights are entertaining.
feck, ground and pound central there
all i can say is....
MAYBE NEXT TIME MATE. (BY THE WAY THAT WAS HIS BOXING TRAINING THAT PUT WANDERLEI DOWN)
Thought Rampage got a little lucky with that punch, he had he eye's closed when he threw it - but still great entertainment.
feck off, no luck involved with rampage
my prediction of rampage winning it came true as will the mir and griffin prediction. Been quite entertaining so far.
hehe, they should rename Rampage to Wonder, as in Stevie Wonder.
You're picking Mir who has no striking ability to KO BigNog who's never been knocked out????
money in the bank, fellas.
great night so far. still can't really call Forrest - Rashad. here we go!
I also picked rampage and mir to win their fights. Had a feeling rampage was due a win on silva and had picked mir to win his.money in the bank, fellas.
great night so far. still can't really call Forrest - Rashad. here we go!
*** isn't the same anymore. He needs to retire. He has taken too many beatings.
Good call though, you either got lucky or you figured the damage he has taken in the past was catching up to him.
Minotauro over Mir was the only fight I thought was a sure thing.
Forrest got lazy and complacent but up until he threw that lazy kick he was dominating Rashad.
Wandy hasn't been the same since Crocop mauled him so I actually kind of expect that.
If Machida ever gets a shot at Rashad he is going to make him look stupid.

Does the winner of Thiago Silva and Machida get a shot at Rashad?
That was fantastic!
I was delighted for Mir and Evans. I'm not sure why nobody seems to like Evans. Mir has done brilliantly to come back so well. A lot have written him off, including myself. He was amazing tonight.

Kiss my arse Dana - thats the last ticket I buy for UFC.

thanks. no, i didn't get lucky (although i did with the Rashad call at the bookies, cuz i wasn't sure on that, at all), i just look at the last 3 fights, and the styles (and age) of each fighter.
that's why i called out a 7 round tko for Paquio vs De La Hoya, and that's why i called out Mir to win ko/tko. both predictions i got abuse for!
after the Pac fight i got loads of PMs saying i should've put something on the fight. so this time i put a hefty chunk on Mir, Rampage, and Evans...
the Mir tko alone is gonna be paying for my car insurance this year!
Great call. Gotta give you the credit you deserve on that one!
BASTARD BASTARD BASTARD feckING BASTARD...
Right about now i wish one of the fights on the bill was me vs dana...
It'll probably cost them a fortune when nobody buy ufc 95 on ppv in America? Maybe that will teach them to have a half decent card.
ufc 95 isnt ppv in the states... apparently its going to be free to air as the tv company wont commit the budget that early in the year (they have to pay extra for european fights and they fall in the middle of the day)
cheers, mate. it was a great night i thought.
it was interesting how for the first round of Griffin - Evans, Evans was slightly complacent and Forrest controlled the round. and then in the second round, when Forrest was complacent, Evans battered him unconscious in the blink of an eye...
it was interesting to see each fighter's reaction to being in control, and how much more immediate and devastating Evan's reaction was.
i think an Evans - Rampage fight will happen next year, and i very much look foward to it.
i really hope Forrest and Wanderlei will fight too.
p.s is CB Dolloway gay?
no big deal if he is. i only ask because in his post fight interview he sounded LITERALLY as camp as Julian Clary!

No wonder they don't give a feck so. The Dublin card is slightly better but not at the standard as the PPVs in America.
according to wiki

i thought dan would get on the main card this time... i bet hes pissed off
That is not a good card.....
agreed...
epecially as they sold all the tickets on the back of silva sipposedly being there
Really??? That is an extra shitty card then....
No it wouldn't. After his last win there was a lot of talk of him and Bisping.
