Spoiler ...? If it hasnt aired, its a spoiler...

Id rather not know these things...

It has aired, this day last week.

El Guapo!

Lads, I've had to delete the last few posts. Don't post TUF Spoilers here. If you want to discuss the show, then take it to the TUF thread. If you talk about it in here then it IS spoiling the show.

What annoys the crap outta me and always has is the ticket prices, compared to U.S events

For Dublin tickets are gonna be between 50 and 250Euro for a Fight Night.

Tickets for the Fight Night in Cincinnati on May 11 are $53 - $178, that's approx 37Euro to 128Euro for top priced ringside.

Really does take the piss at times yet it'll sell out in a day

Supply and demand

Would you get much better seats with fight pass?

McGregor is going to be on UFC tonight in the US

Host of it tweeted it. Could it be a fight announcement? He mentioned he would be in California this week.

Yes!! Joining us on this week's #UFCTonight: @MieshaTate + @TheNotoriousMMA! Don't miss it- we're on @FOXSports1 at 7ET/4PT. See you then!

BeepBeep!

Anyone any idea how many tickets can be got with newsletter subscription?

Are you sure you can buy tickets with FightPass?

MrStuffins

According to JK himself, 5000 of the tickets have been snagged already.
SBG members can buy them before they're on general sale.

For those looking for tickets, you better act fast!

Sean Quagmire

^ so over half the tickets are gone? no way.
Thinking back when I went to ufc93 it was fairly handy getting tickets can't help but get pissed off hearing every 2nd person I know who know nothing of the sport saying their gonna buy 6 tickets when they go on sale.

How many members are there?!!
That has to be BS though. I though i read last year some big enough fighter in the ufc saying it was hard to get more than 5 or so comp tickets for some ppv event he was fighting on. I dont know how half the tic allocation could go to 1 gym!

What way does the newsletter work lads?

You enter your email in the newsletter box at top of the ufc website, I guess then you will get an email closer to the event with a code to buy tickets early.

I seriously doubt they'll get 5,000 tickets, when he says 5,000 have been snagged it may be 5k have been made available for FC presale and other groups (like SBG).

Good thing with SBG getting a load though is that people who actually like MMA and support he gym will be guaranteed a ticket

Yeah, I worded it badly.

SBG members haven't had their tickets made available yet, but 5000 have been snagged already by other parties (or have at least been earmarked).

That sounds about the right amount available to the FC presale, leaving the remainder for general sale

Lenin Skynard

Those prawn sandwich corporate types are snagging all the tickets! :pac:

Yup when I log on to fight pass it says presale is June 4th

Sure it may say presale but do you really have it with fightpass? I doubt it as someone could in theory just subscribe for 1 month at 7.99 when they're getting closer to 60 for an FC membership

EuskalHerria

Well confirmation anyway. McGregor v Miller.

Doh sorry meant fight club, not fight pass..

moneyman

Conor is in fantastic form on Fox Sports 1 right now.

D.Q

so what sort of price tiers are we expecting for this? to anyone that went to the last one, whats the view like further back?

amkin25

Will this be pay per view for those of us who wont be going to it live?

BT Sport will be showing it. It wont be PPV anywhere.

amkin25

You sure the card doesnt be available on ufc website for a tenner or something ? I got the last one which was a fight night something on the ufc website for around a tenner.

amkin25

I mean i got it the last time conor was fighting granted about a year ago but i think it was fight night .

jodaw

Conor here on UFC tonight

Hope you didn't pay a tenner for it, his fight was streamed free. It probably will be streamed through fight pass.

glad ufc is coming back

but this card is shaping up to be pretty poor-worse than the rubbish cards that the UK gets. think only 1 or 2 fights would make it onto a US main card-at best

More classic Conor

To be honest, what exactly were you expecting? With the way the UFC is formatted these days, it's the best card we could hope for and to be honest I think it looks pretty good.

MMA seems like a bit of a cult following over here to an extent but there's good hype about the card and largely down to RTE showing the McGregor documentary and McGregor's likable personality.

It's a 'fight night' event. Was never gonna have any of the top level guys on it but there's enough to keep me happy anyway. Pickett/McCall should be a great fight.

Zero-Cool

The Conor, Gunni, Pickett & Seery fights *should* be excellent. Could have been a much worse card.

Callanutd

If people look at it properly this is a really strong card.

Gunni vs La Flare is two unbeaten prospects. I expect Gunni to win and that will push him into the top ten and maybe only two fights from a title shot.
Pickett v McCall looks like a title shot eliminator, especially if Brad wins.
Then there is Connor in the main event which we surely all expected and are quite happy about.

Mellor

I like this card a lot.
No matter what the card, some people will complain, people who only catch 1 or 2 events a year and expected the return GSP or Silva.

Isn't it on fightpass? I hope BT show it if I don't make it to the show but I don't know how things work with fightpass

Richy06

With the UFC's expansion, this fight night card is about par for the course with ones they've put on recently and will probably reflect the standard of the cards going forward. You hardly expect them to throw a card like a PPV our way. As is they're guaranteed to sell the place out and in Gunnar & Conor have two of the biggest prospects in MMA who've a storied history in this country. A longtime, realistic fight fan will be pretty pleased as to the quality of this card.

Pretty much catch every event, been to a number of events too. Not expecting a top class card like we got the last time but would expect a couple of top ranked fighters to headline. The 2 fights mentioned above will be great, after that the card is lacking and living off mcgregor's popularity.

like the way having a negative opinion on this cards automatically means i dont watch enough fights.

I agree but these day's since the ufc joined with fox,card's have always been very thin compared to a few years back.
They had to cancel a ufc event coz jon jones wasn't fighting there a while back coz that card was so thin,jones was the only decent name on the card.
It is a fairly thin card but this is the new ufc with load's of event's throughout the year but all pretty thin on name's.

dave1982

Problem is there is way more people training MMA so alot more fighters.UFC is catering for rise so more cards are put on.Sadly some are hit and miss.

Me personally I prefer way it was before 8 solid cards a year.I think there was 3 events in 1 week not so long ago.

I remember Dana saying years ago UFC is what it is because every fight could headline the card.(Not anymore Dana):pac:

He was comparing it to Boxing saying they only have 1 good fight on the card rest are fillers.

UFC is very close to that now.

Too much of anything is bad in the long run.


(I'll just go hide before I get called names and I don't know UFC comments )

Richy06

If you don't like it or prefer to watch 8 a year, then do that. Those of us who just wish to watch fights, will.

I think all that is clear to see. In trying to expand the brand they are putting on more events than ever before in more countries and the cards are naturally suffering for it. Where there could have been a card with a number of "big names" on it, those big names are now more thinly spread out. It's not to say the fight cards have been any less entertaining but that star stacked card is what every fan wants for their country's event.

Ultimately though I don't think we've got a bad card. Hotel is booked and I'm just hoping all those with newsletter and fight club access don't take all the good seats. I have to book through ticketmaster to get a discount and I'll hold grudges if all the good seats are gone earlier than the 6th.

If you’re an Irish MMA fan and you genuinely want to see someone other than Conor McGregor headline the UFC Dublin card, there is something wrong with your brain. Please seek the help of a healthcare professional, it may be serious.
