McGregor vs. Brandao (a.k.a. UFC Fight Night 46) live from Dublin, Ireland!

UFC Fight Night 46 UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Brandao took place Saturday night in Dublin, Ireland for the local crowd, and it proved to be an exciting affair. Going down Saturday afternoon for those of us on the other side of the pond, it was a card worth getting started early for. The raucous Irish crowd cheering and chanting throughout every bout made for an amped up, insanely fun event right from the very first fight of the preliminary card. For the second event in a row, the UFC really hit it out of the park with the card it provided, even if it wasn't the most exciting card on paper, and only featured one bout that truly had any sort of title implications. The star of the show, of course, was the brash, trash talking Irish fighter Conor McGregor, a former two-weight class champ in Cage Warriors. Could McGregor back his words up in the cage? Would team mate and training partner Gunnar Nelson pull off a win as well? What would happen in the pivotal flyweight bout between Ian "Uncle Creepy" McCall and Brad "One Punch" Pickett, the lone bout on the card that could actually have title implications? We found out all this and more in an exciting evening, so lets take a look at 10 things we learned from UFC Fight Night: McGregor vs. Brandao (a.k.a. UFC Fight Night 46) live from Dublin, Ireland!
