UFC 120 London.....

Wexler12

Was just looking at the Wiki page and I nearly fell off my seat

UFC 120 is a upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. While not officially announced by the organisation, it is expected to take place on October 16, 2010, at the O2 Arena in London, England and air on Spike TV.[1] The event will be the tenth that the organization has hosted in the United Kingdom, and the first in London since UFC 95. The first ever U.K UFCFan Expo is expected to coincide with this event

I presume Gareth A Davies from the telegraph is totaly getting his wires crossed when he says this even is going to be on in July in London? He was on MMA live on the other night says it here 16 minutes in http://www.mma-core.com/videos/_ESPN_MMA_LiVE_6_4_10?vid=10011218&tid=107

Take ANYTHING you read on Wiki with a very large sack of salt as anybody can edit any page.

Chances are this is true though, just be warned for future visits to Wiki

Gareth A Davies is one of the worst mma journalists on the planet after jake rossen. The guy is an idiot and one of the MMA journalists that I follow on twitter said on a recent tweet, he is glad gareth a davies isn't in the room

DrPhilG

Sickens me every time I see that pillock sat cage side in the press box or being interviewed on ESPN MMA Live etc.

Remember the time he called Royce Gracie the "Holls Hoyce" of MMA to his face? He was so proud of himself that after 6 months on Setanta's MMA show and claiming to have watched all the old UFCs, he had finally figured out how to pronounce Royce's name right...

Tumbleweed moment if ever there was one.

Chill out guys it was a slip of the tongue as he was talking about the July (Brock) show at the same time. Simple mistake.

Don't worry I'm not judging him just on that, I've always thought he was a gormless eejit!

He is not Hewani, Gross, Iole, Breen or Mc Neil. He thinks he is them but he is far from that. He also a bit biased towards the British fighters

SuperWoody101

I met him a few times and he is a good guy but is always going to be a pro boxing fan then an MMA fan,

DrPhilG

Yeah to be fair it's not all his fault, I don't think he ever heard of MMA before the Telegraph started to cover it and dropped the job on his desk...

rovert

Davies rubs people the wrong way but apparently he is a nice guy.

lol at the McNeil mention. Id take Davies awkwardness over McNeil's scripted answers.

Claiming someone is biased while also holding up Iole and Gross is rather odd too.

But I cant dispute his biase but those guys are likely the reason he is covering the sport.

comes off as a complete douchebag

He does, and I always thought he was till I met the man. He is an ok guy and does have a love for the sport.

Hoeballs

fair enough its prob unfair to judge a man i never met

True, and he has improved of late as he learns more etc. It's just his time on that brutal Setanta show back in the day when he was green as grass and was paired up with various other eejits and lads mags editors, he just looked utterly stupid almost every week!

rovert

A lot the Davies haters had some fuel if they watched MMA Live with him bellyaching on the behalf of fans about Daley being fired while Yvel is on the books.

Fuppin' 6th year!:mad:

Odats

Kampmann vs Hardy possibility for the 120 card. Cracking fight if it happens.

gravity12

Carlos Condit vs. Dan Hardy
Cheick Kongo vs. Travis Browne
Quinton Jackson vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (maybe or UFC 119)

I can't see that happening. I see that fight being on the 119 card.

122 is supposedly in Germany on the 13th of November (Date may be changed, since it looks like that Mayweather / Pacquiao could be going ahead on that date) in Oberhausen outside Dusseldorf.

They will make Hardy / Condit the main event since 120 is a spike card. 119 is a PPV in the US

DB888

Looks like its Hathaway vs Stun Gun and Diabate vs Gustaffson too

scudzilla

No cards at all in UK/Ireland this year then they come up with this crap? What was that Dana said not so long ago, All UK/Ireland cards will soon be on a par with the US events!!!! What a crock of crap thats turning out to be.

Not been a title fight over here since UFC80

This card seems just like a UFN and i for one will not be goin over for it

Odats

Just a filler to keep us over this way happy. It's all based on PPV buys and the biggest PPV buys are the states ones primarily the Vegas shows. Americans are fickle and don't like tape delays etc especially with spoilers on t'internet.

Yup, and they dont want the UK fans to forget about them either. Especially since Bisping has been found out and Hardy didnt beat GSP, they have nobody to hype really.

Spencer Fisher meets lightweight newcomer Kurt Warburton at October's UFC 120 event.

Definitely Fight night card I think.

No, it's got the card of a Fight Night, but they'll market it as a full event and ticket prices will be full event price. I'm not gonna fall for this crap again, especially after 95, putting tickets on presale with no card advertised

DrPhilG

Bisping vs Akiyama confirmed yet?
