    Lads, how long do the pre-sales on Fight Club last?

    Reason I ask is I may struggle to get the time off work to be on the internet to take advantage of the pre-sale for Glasgow at 10am once they go on sale to Fight Club members. The evening would be no problem but is it a case of the pre-sale only lasting a couple of hours or something?

    Thanks.

    Each presale lasts the full day basically.

    This one will sell fast. First time in Scotland. Even with very few fights booked it will fly out.

    Reckon there's even any point waiting until evening to get them on pre-sale mate or will it be a case of if you don't get in there early the pre-sale allocation will be snapped up?

    If a similar pricing structure to Berlin is followed (€40, €50, €70, €95, €125 and €150) I'd be aiming for the €150 ones if that makes a difference.

    Snapped up early I'd say.

    That price structure would be great. I'll probably go €150 seats too. My Ulster Bank account gives me 25% off provided it's selling via Ticketmaster.

    Thanks Phil. In that case I think I can feel a bout of sickness coming up for that day already :pac:

    Yeah, the Berlin pricing structure was excellent value. I had to look two or three times to make sure I wasn't mistaken. Hopefully we will get something similar for Glasgow.

    Injuries are more of an issue to the UFC than PEDs at the minute.

    It's insane.

    Training needs to be completely revamped for a lot of training camps.

    I know.

    I didn't post that because of Pendred as such, just due to the Jack Charlton link.

    Didn't mean to quote your post, wanted to just post a normal reply. I had only just heard about Pendreds fight.

    Hes 15-1 with 10 KO/Tkos & 5 subs, his loss is a decision loss to Sam Alvey , same hight as Cathal.

    I think it's gonna be a brutal night for Cathal. I hope not but judging by his performances over his last two fights, I really can't make a case for him right now.

    He's clearly got some power but having watched a lot of his fights he gets dropped or taken down in nearly all of them. I keep saying Pendred is going to lose/get KO'd but I think this might be another winnable fight especially if he can take him down.

    Ya I don't know how long Pendred will last in the UFC but this is actually another winnable fight for him.

    I saw a post by Pendred on Facebook today and all the comments were cheering him on. Nothing wrong with that.
    Except, one comment just said "GOAT".
    Now I'm all for getting behind Irish fighters but unless this guy was just naming his favourite farmyard animal, I think we reached a new level of crazy.

    I think they they were referring to his fighting style. Either that or he's a Capricorn

    It's become something of a running joke on MMA forums to refer to Pendred as the GOAT. Even Ariel Helwani was in on it at one stage, tweeting that Pendred was replacing Marquardt against Gastelum in the co-main event an upcoming event.
