    @Jamie Smith: don’t come crying when your screen buffers just as the knockout punch is landed. Stuff of nightmares!

    @Hardly Normal: I would prefer if it was a choke out, ground and pound stoppage or a kick to the head.

    @Jamie Smith: fools and their Money? Same logic as someone on the dole laughing at someone for going to work. Don’t worry Jamie we’ll pay up to keep these organisations going so you can enjoy it stuttering from a grainy little stream.

    Lord knows the UFC needs something like that to keep it relevant. The interest and numbers have been staggeringly low recently and light years behind boxing for example. They are probably paying Floyd just to give them some attention in the media and without any deal ever happening.

    Total BS Floyd will never fight MMA. Unless it’s boxing rules. This is all hype, Floyd trying to keep his name in the news.
