Thoughts on UFC 93 (17th Jan, Dublin)

Derek Coleman

I know how you get a title shot.

GSP did it, Hermes Franca did it, Thiago Alves has just done it.

Beat a good opponent and take the mic off Joe Rogan and say "Dana... Give me a fookin title shot please". If the crowd reacts well then your in.

Yup, my UFC 93 tickets have just arrived hot off the press and straight into my wall safe

Anyone else get theirs yet?.

SuperWoody101

shenanigans1982

Got mine too, delay must have been to put that picture of the point on them.:)

Mossy Monk

Arrived for me too

lafors

Got mine too

Now lets see how many actually go up on Ebay and the like and how much they go for! You can't really sell the tickets without having the tickets!

I bet they release more in the next few days.

Palhares vs Gumby apparently

lafors

Just in case anyone is interested on going to Joe Rogan's comedy gig the night before, it looks like it'll be in the sugar club, no info on tickets yet.

And Supposed fight card so far:
Rich "Ace" Franklin VS Dan "Hollywood" Henderson
Mauricio "Shogun" Rua VS Mark Coleman
Antonio Mendes VS Andre Gusmao
Alan "The Talent" Belcher VS Denis Kang
Ivan Serati VS Tomasz Drwal
Chris "Lights Out" Lytle VS Marcus "The Irish Hand Grenade" Davis
Tom Egan VS John Hathaway
Nate Mohr VS Dennis Siver
Rousimar Palhares VS Jeremy Horn

gumby will probably have a fight the night before, the weekend before and 2 the weekend after!

Maldini2706

Nate Mohr - Dennis Siver has to be the most underwhelming fight in UFC history. What is the point?

Jeremy Horn is fighting Rory Singer now.

I hate Rory Singer!! (sorry, but I had to get that out there) he came across badly on TUF 3.

REMINDER:


Lads fighter bashing is against the rules of the forum. I've no problem with "I don't like Kenny Florian/Matt Hughes" etc, and the type of comments that we've had before provided there's no name calling. Constructive and intelligent reasons given is fine. Calling them names is not.

Calling fighters unwarranted names is bannable. Also remember that there are some guys fighting on this card who have affiliations with people who post here so bear that in mind before posting please. I'm not giving any infractions this time but I will the next time I see it. I think that's more than fair.

Kampmann making his WW debut in Dublin apparently.

This card is looking far more impressive than recent UK cards, anyone else agree.

Dragan

Kampmann is a solid fighter, could be a new lease of life for him at WW.

And i agree, this is a very strong card. We are quite lucky.

Maldini2706

Any word on who he's fighting? This card needs another interesting competitive fight.

Is Singer on because rousimhar Palhares is injured?

i'll be disappointed if Palhares is off.

liger

I'm delighted with the card. It good to see the UFC hasnt just tried to fill the card with no names after selling out quickly. Cant wait to see Palhares, The guy can put you in a submission by just looking at ya.

Jeremy Horn has 6 inches over Rousimar Palhares. That probably equates to a huge reach advantage. Horn could win if he keeps him on the end of his jab.

ShawnRaven

Tickets arrived in the post earlier! Roll on Jan 17th! 10 days after my birthday, i'm sure i'll still be suffering the after effects.

Won't be that hard. I was so dissapointed in Palhares against Hendo. He wasn't try to take him down so much as throwing himself at Hendo's legs every now and then.

dunkamania

A little harsh Dragan, after all I think its fair to say Hendo has wrestled once or twice before, so taking him down could be just a little bit difficult
