IF YOU’RE AN Irish mixed martial arts fan, you’ll probably be watching a lot of Setanta Sports this week.
BT Sport 2, which is available on the Setanta platform, is the only TV channel broadcasting Saturday night’s action from UFC 194 live in Ireland.
Setanta, who will also air the TUF 22 Finale live on Friday night, have put together a packed MMA schedule for the coming days, which looks something like this…
It all kicks off tonight at 9.30pm on Setanta Ireland with an hour-long show to preview Saturday’s UFC 194 main event between Jose Aldo and Conor McGregor.
The show, hosted by Joe Molloy, will feature a panel of guests consisting of former UFC welterweight Cathal Pendred, The42‘s own Paul Dollery and MMA writer Fergus Ryan.
The broadcast will also include interviews with Conor McGregor, his team-mates such as Paddy Holohan and Aisling Daly, as well as analysis and discussion ahead of one of the biggest fights in the history of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
Player should respect fans. Fans pay to see football. Yes i know certain fans are bad. But not all. It’s the ugly side of sports i hate. Celebrate with your fans not bringing hate to others
@Simon Dwyer: You could forgive the player as his own fans had United jerseys on, he was confused.
Used to work in Tallaght near the stadium. There are always “fracas”.
@Ashling Fenton: that’s because of rovers
@John O Reilly: that’s soccer for ya!
@Ashling Fenton: I’ve been to Tallaght Stadium to watch Rovers, ROI U/21’s, WNT, Dundalk during their European run & now Pats. Have to say, never once seen a fracas involving fans. Mad the different perceptions people have!
@Rosco Bosco: hi rugby goy
@Rosco Bosco: Football. Unless you’re an American and if so I apologise.
@Niall Hollywood: or Irish or Australian
Irish soccer disgraces itself again. Is this even news anymore
@david lydon: There was a bit of handbags between players at the end of a tense game. Hardly Irish soccer disgracing itself now…
