9 fights confirmed, got to be looking at another 2 if not 3 surely? Most cards these days seem to have 12 fights unless injuries strike. Any thoughts on who might be added?

To soon for Norman Parke and Darren Till after fighting last weekend?

I'm just unsure why it would be at that time.

Doors usually open around half 4 or 5 with the first fight half 5 or 6.

Preliks starting 3 hours early makes no sense. If they wanted to start at a different time I thought it would be later to suit the US times but this wouldn't.

Would be terribly rude of me to suggest that they're scared of the Scottish getting plshed if it's on in the evening? Lol

The website is typical Main car times. The venue site says the doors open at 2pm. So 3-6pm prelims makes sense, with 6-9pm main card.

Most likely it’s a licensing restriction.

Suits me great. I'm going with a friend and our wives. The girls won't be going to the fights so an early start means we can still do something that evening.

Paully D

My tickets arrived today. Getting excited now!

Marcus Brimage v Ian Entwistle added. That takes us to 12 fights and most likely will be the complete card.

Bizarre how Duffy is on the main whilst Paddy is on the preliminary?

I'm not at all sure if that order has been confirmed, I just ripped it from Wiki.

Entwistle is out, Lobov is looking for the fight, if he does not get it then he must be completely off the UFC's radar.

Brimage fights at bantamweight though. I doubt they'd want him to take the fight at featherweight. Damien Rooney would be a good replacement there perhaps.

Duffy is a star in the making and could potentially challenge at world title level. Paddy won't get to that level.

Agreed Paddy's highlight reel prior to UFC isn't as good as Duffy's who holds a win over an obvious bright star (McGregor) and Paddy's performance in Canada was terrible too Duffy hasn't had that no brainer really.

ItsAnEasyGame

All the excitement to carry onto this. The lead up to McGregor fight almost made me forget about this card.

Have we a start time confirmed for this yet?

UFC.com just have main card at 1PM ET (so 6pm our time). Ticketmaster and SSE Hydro have 2pm. I'd presume that would mean doors open at 2pm, first fight at 3pm, but I'm sure we'll get confirmation during the week.

You're a busy man, Phil. Vegas to Glasgow in the space of a week!

Paully D

Looks like we have the times now as the UFC.com site has the below posted:



3pm GMT for the Fight Pass prelims, 4pm GMT for Fox Sports prelims and 6pm GMT for the main card.

More time for going out on the piss that night I suppose. :pac:

Disappointing not to see Holohan on the main card esp. considering Duffy is after one fight.

does anybody know if Pick TV will be showing this as a European card, or is it Fight Pass only

I doubt it. BT are showing the main card at 9PM Saturday.

Really excited about this now. Just a few bits and pieces to do tomorrow and I'm good to go. What flight are people getting over?

3pm or so out of Derry.

DrPhilG

Just called the Hydro Arena, they say that cameras are banned for this event.

Eh???

Since when!

Impossible to enforce! Everybody's mobile phone has a camera on it. They're going to confiscate everyone's mobile phone? Like f*ck they are!

I'm on the 7.15 am flight out of Dublin. Never been the UFC before (Mate is a huge fan, just back from Vegas and now this) so am looking forward to it. Also never been to Glasgow. Double Whammy for me. Can't wait

Couldn't give a hoot about the mobile. It's my actual camera I'm worried about!

20.30 flight tonight, looking forward to this now.
