The gap between fights on FS1 broadcasts is massive. We realized it was senseless to just watch all the commercials. Instead, let’s all be productive with our time. Here’s a list of several (but not all) things you can do during the huge amount of time in between fights.

1. Watch several fights from a previous UFC PPV on Fight Pass.

2. Go get ice cream or pizza.

3. Perform the recommended amount of daily exercise.

4. Read a chapter from the latest trendy YA novel.

5. Try to educate the heathens next to you at Buffalo Wild Wings about the finer points of MMA.

6. Do DDP Yoga.

7. Read a chapter from Matt Hughesautobiography (don’t worry, it’s not exactly War and Peace).

11. Try to explain “Alpha Male Shit” to a person with a functioning brain.

12. Illegally download the terrible action film they’re hawking on the broadcast that night, watch it in three-minute installments.

13. Or better yet, just watch Haywire again.

14. Play a game of Pitch, Rummy, Kings, etc.

15. Binge watch your favorite Netflix TV show.

16. Fix that leaky faucet your wife’s been complaining about since March.

17. Listen to YYZ in its entirety.

18. Make a souffle from scratch.

19. Step out for a cigarette or 12.

20. Listen to an episode of your favorite podcast (I recommend “How Did This Get Made?“).

22. Take a shot every time a Nos, Harley Davidson, or Metro PCS commercial comes on.

23. Obtain a degree in quantum physics.

24. Go rent The Notebook or go to the movies. Dana White doesn’t care.

25. Write this article.

Conor McGregor Is the New Potato Chip King of Ireland [VIDEO]

Not content with simply being known as a Heineken-drinking origami master, UFC featherweight Conor McGregor is now the spokesman for Dublin’s own King Crisps. (Note: “Crisps” is just the fancy European word for what you Americans know as “tater chips, y’all.”) Watch his new commercial above, which features McGregor really selling the hell out of those ***king chips. LOL?

Jon Jones Brutally Kicks Child in ‘UFC on FOX’ Commercial During Giants/49ers Game [VIDEO]

During halftime of yesterday’s NFC Championship game between the New York Giants and the San Francisco Fail Machines, viewers were treated to a UFC on FOX promo that was…kind of odd, actually. Light-heavyweight champion/part-time model Jon Jones is set up as a relatable nice-guy, then kicks his own child into the stratosphere. Jones catches the falling kid, and two nearby moms express their barely-conceled lust for him. And that’s about it.

General strangeness aside, the commercial doesn’t actually show any UFC footage — more evidence of FOX’s gun-shy attitude toward the sport, maybe? — and doesn’t feature any of the fighters competing in next week’s UFC on FOX: Evans vs Davis event. (Rashad Evans probably punched another hole through his wall after seeing this.) I wonder how many football fans watched the commercial in a loud sports bar and thought, “Hey, there’s a new Old Spice guy. Alright.”
