AHEAD OF THEIR featherweight title unification bout at UFC 194 in Las Vegas a week from Saturday, Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor took questions from the media tonight.
You can listen back to the conference call — which also featured middleweight champion Chris Weidman and challenger Luke Rockhold — in full below.

so Pearce wasnt eligible even when he played for us against Oman and when he was in a couple of other squads?decent player though reminds me a tad of Richard Dunne but obviously not as good(Atleast not yet).Wouldnt give Stearman the light of day,Was crap in the premiership and theres no way we should be picking a n average league two player when we have better options playing at a higher level. Im all for bringing in lads on the granny rule but we dont need another Paul Green that offers nothing to what we already have
Eligible, yes. Tied down to Ireland & nobody else, no. You only become tied to one nation when you make a competitive appearance. Pearce hasn’t done that yet.
Agree on Stearman. Do we really need a Third Division defender in the squad?
Yeah Pearce is a decent defender and could develop into an excellent player in time, so thats a good capture in a position that we will need cover in. Not sure that Stearman will offer much to Ireland.
We could do with discovering a few more players born outside the country with Irish heritage. I hope that the new manager whoever he is has a good scouting network. Send a couple of scouts to Argentina, there is a large Irish population there. Their last manager who just quit the other night was a Phelan. Who knows what we might find there :) Irish and Germans are the big European ethnic groups in that country.
Can you imagine Lional O’ Messi?
Santiago Phelsn was coach of their rugby team. Alejandro Sabello us the football coach.
Richard Stearman has played only one league game for Wolves this season, a team in League One!!!
He should be an automatic starter for us then.
Who ????????
Hopefully Conor Kenna, Greg Bolger and Killian Brennan get call ups in November
Supersaints
Would much rather Stearman over McShane. I’d rather a one legged donkey over the ginger Messi.
