In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
The real main event of the card!
Me neither, just saw the hype when he came back to the UFC.
Personally never heard of him before, but according to some, he was supposed to be the best fighter ever
Will be interesting to see.
Surely you mean a Dublin accent?
He is Irish not sure how an Irish person makes themselves sound more Irish.
Though i agree he is a clown, his McGregor impersonation is embarrassing. Even has the tattoos and the glasses now. Can't listen to him anymore.
Surely he's doing it on purpose to take the piss?
It's possible but i don't think he's doing it for a laugh.
I dunno if he's doing it to take the piss. I think it's pretty plausible he does it to get attention though and it quite clearly works. Can't stand him myself but does get people talking it seems.
What day this week do you think we'll hear about a picogram of something being in Jones?
Yeah thats what I meant.
Are you people saying he sounds like McGregor? his accent is nothing like Conor's they are from different parts of Ireland who each have distinctive accents. His appearance and mannerisms are very Conoresque, but he's a young lad whose seen Conor's popularity and is trying to emulate it. Ideally you'd want him to be more himself and maybe as he gets older he will. The one thing I've noticed is he has a much more developed ground game than Conor had at this age imo. It's good to see Kavanagh wanting to churn out more rounded fighters, and not just rely on knockout power.
I've not paid much attention to any accent change that may have happened but he definitely has copied certain parts (he laughs the exact same as him which is really weird.) Danis is similar and copies him to.
I dunno if those guys do it for attention really cos if they do it does work.
I'm not no, his accents changed a bit but thats probably down to him living in Dublin the last few years. Or at least i think he does.
But whatever his reasons he does seem to be doing a McGregor impression these days.

Well, Matt Hughes is a cnut.
He always was wasn't he?
I think I'd probably forgotten. I definitely didn't know the stuff Botter mentions in a later tweet in that thread about the piglets though.
Yup

So my mate just told me he read that Ortega is fighting Aldo for the “vacated” featherweight title? Anyone heard anything about this? I can’t see anything anywhere so I’m guessing it’s not true but has anyone seen anything similar?
No way Max vacates his belt. Not yet at least (if he wins vs Dustin he might).
Another interim belt though, that's possible. But it shouldn't be Ortega fighting for it. He needs to come back to the winning columns first.
Aldo vs Volkanovksi makes the more sense. Haven't heard or read anything related to this topic though.
Man, that girl sat next to Dana got out pretty quick when she saw a camera..
Ah so nothing really cemented in place, just speculation this is what Ortega is aiming for.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Holloway moved up in weight but Ortega is the same. Both too big for the division probably going to want to go up. Imagine if it comes round full circle again to Aldo being the king at featherweight. Only people beating him having all moved to 155.
I hate the cnut but this is top class wumming.I'm feeling a bit worried for Colby here. Wouldn't surprise me he is found dead in some ditch with his knees destroyed.
High class hooker or she was worried her boyfriend might see it.
Interim this interim that. Bullshit
