CONOR MCGREGOR’S RISE continues.
The SBG fighter is up to fourth in the UFC’s featherweight rankings this morning.
McGregor won his much-hyped fight with Dennis Siver in Boston within two rounds on Sunday night.
He will now face champion Jose Aldo in Las Vegas in May.
McGregor leapfrogs Cub Swanson who’s down to fifth while the top three remains Ricardo Lamas, Frankie Edgar and No 1 Chad Mendes.
Aldo is the second-ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the organisation behind light heavyweight champ Jon Jones, who recently tested positive for cocaine.
Good luck Leinster Keep the momentum going
Fair play to Lyon though, you have to give it to em.
Bonus point as requested and delivered. Build on the lead now.
Don’t take the foot off the pedal. Let’s hope for a thumping performance and that Lyon are competitive.
What an absolute joke of a video ref disallowing Fardy’s try. If you get that pernickety about it then no try would ever be given. Pathetic.
@Vincent O’Keeffe: and after all the microscopic bullshit they missed a clear neck roll on Treacy.
Free stream?
@Ao: MOBDRO, LiveNetTV TV. VIP, first row,
Whitehouse is screwing Lyon
Examples allowing Leinster to have men diving in beyond the ruck creating space clever but illegal. Offside in defence at every breakdown. Lowe trying to use the boot in the ruck that is illegal with years. Toners contact to the face accidental yes but under the rules a yellow card. Whitehouse try’s to give Leinster the disallowed try in spite of being told by the TMO there was a clear knock on.
@Brian Gallivan: you can use your boot in a ruck, you just can’t kick it out, nothing illegal there at all, massive chip on yo shoulder there though!
@Brian Gallivan: anything else??
@Umpaloompa:
No chip whatsoever all you can ask for is consistency. He has just called the exact same offences against Lyon when Leinster are attacking and gives them a warning. I hope Leinster win but hate to see Whitehouses incompetence having a bearing on the game. Any difficulty with my other comments
@David: Did you just see what Fardy did in the build up to Deegans try Whitehouse misses I again
@Brian Gallivan: with relation to going past the ruck and the offside, I’m pretty sure the Leinster coaching staff have seem Munster get away with it all the time (e.g. vs Connacht in the interpros), and decided to give it a go.
@Brian Gallivan: your complaining about what every team does, as for Whitehouse trying to give the try, he clearly couldn’t hear the tmo and couldn’t see a problem himself, no ref or tmo ever calls that, good spot all the same.
Leo looks pissed off.
Little ‘Nigel’ should shut up pontificating and let teams play.
That try from Conway! Mon dieu!
