AHEAD OF ONE of the biggest fights in the history of the organisation next weekend, the Ultimate Fighting Championship have started to ramp up the hype for UFC 194.
The event, which takes place in Las Vegas a week from tomorrow, will be headlined by the eagerly-anticipated featherweight title unification bout between Jose Aldo and Ireland’s Conor McGregor.
A special hour-long episode of the UFC’s ‘Embedded’ series will air tomorrow in the US on FOX Sports at 3pm ET (12pm PT). The show will be available to watch afterwards via the UFC’s official YouTube channel, where the regular Embedded episodes will also be uploaded each day next week in the build-up to the event.
Featuring footage of a young Conor McGregor and charting his remarkable rise to the top, tomorrow’s show will make for essential viewing if this trailer is anything to go by.
I thought he done very well last night. He actually scored his first Ireland goal Vs Celtic in Scott Brown’s testimonial and the way Mick spoke about him last night he could well be promoted.
Cullen got man of the match but I thought Browne was the real MVP. His control of the ball, slowing down the game and giving himself time for an option to open up was another level to the rest of the team.
Don’t get me wrong, a few players impressed me last night, with Byrne, Long, Collins and Cullen getting all the credit but Browne deserves some too.
Would love to see him get a move out of Preston.
@Baz Harkin: Only matter of time before premier league clubs start taking an interest, top midfielder.Should be in ahead of Hourihan and Hendrick. Always seems to do the simple things right and be in the right place, just like a fellow Cork midfielder did a few years ago, but we better not talk about him for a while though!
@Baz Harkin: As a lover of PNE..I WOULD NOT!!!
Browne would walk into most midfield in the bottom half of the Premier league. So many foreign managers these days though bringing in speed demons from Africa/Germany/Brazil/France etc that it’s getting harder and harder to get the big break.
@Stanley Baggins: hence why Irish footballers need to start looking further afield and taking opportunities on the continent. Even English footballers are starting to do that more and more.
Browne should have more caps than he has. I know he’s been unlucky with injuries but his form was largely ignored by O Neill. Hopefully he gets back into the Preston team and pushes for a place with the national side. We’re not blessed with guys who can score from midfield and he certainly can if he’s played in the right position.
