Yes, I reakon when you go to stand on your leg and it bends sideways between the knee and the ankle, you know something ins't quite right.


I remember seeing footage similar to this from years ago, and it has haunted me ever since,
so I try my hardest not to see this stuff on purpose again.

Today's UFC Fight Night show was a great one, plenty of finishes with 8 TKOs, 1 submission and only 2 decisions.

Today's Dublin show had probably the best atmosphere ever at a UFC event; amazing crowd from the very first prelim.

With a couple wins over Top 10 opponents, McGregor's fighting style, charisma and speaking skills could see him become a major star.

Gotta question how genuine these altercations are sometimes. Nevertheless, promises to be a helluva fight.

UFC 177 card, apart from the main event, looks terrible. :(

And just got worse with Barao being replaced at the very last minute due to being hospitalised from fainting after getting out of a sauna and hitting his head on a wall!

UFC Fight Night 50 and 51 watched tonight.

Big losses for two big guys in both main events. Overeem surely - time is up. Big Foot - what next? Super heavyweights?

Recorded it last weekend and watched it last night. The whole card was OK.

Main event featuring two of my favourites I was very much torn but to see Marc Unt knock out Big Country was a dead set Wow moment. Dynamite in the dukes.

And so much class from the big fella, knows when they're done and walks away. So many other fighters would continue with unnecessary hammer fists.

Now that I've seen UFC Fight Night 52..............excellent!

Mind you his record isn't that flash in the UFC itself, 10-8-1. But he can put anyone to sleep!

That's his MMA record. His UFC record is 5-2-1. Apart from his terrible UFC debut, he's had a very good past few years in the UFC.

UFC 178 was another top show, apart from the boring mismatch of the main event. UFC would be very pleased with the results, with Cruz looking excellent and ready for Dillashaw, Cat Zigano with a strong come-from-behind victory and ready for Rousey, Cerrone and McGregor with great wins that help them push towards title contention, and an interesting Kennedy vs Romero rematch likely after the controversy at the end of the 2nd round.

I missed the Aldo/Mendes fight, but apparently it was a beauty. Will have to chase it up.
