    He can also pay for the ppv via the UFC website, which is way better because no fuarking ads every 10 seconds.

    UFC204 looking like it'll be on October 8th in Manchester.

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/mma/1442399/michael-bisping-hints-at-late-night-clash-with-dan-henderson-in-manchester/

    "October is just around the corner. It's just 13 weeks until the fight. So I'll go out, I'll beat Dan Henderson, I'll pay him back for what happened in 2009."

    That article was published 12 weeks and 2 days before the 8th October, presumably a few days after the actual interview so it's looking to be 8th or 15th October.
    Checking the MEN website and the entire weekend around the 15th is unavailable due to Disney On Ice (solid water, not the drug) so I've booked a refundable room for 8th. It's already slim pickings for hotels in that area.

    Unfortunately it looks like it could be a similar timeslot to the Swedish card as he talks about a 4am main event.
    Great for American tv audiences but means you've got to revolve your entire weekend around it, pretty much. Still wouldn't miss it for the world though.

    W'end of the 8th is internationals in football. I wonder if thats maybe something UFC look at so there events don't clash with club football. I think UFC Hamburg is on weekend with no league matches.

    Going to go over on Saturday midday then go home Sunday at 8am, not going to bother with a hotel if it finishes at 4am.

    Think I might fly into Manchester, spend the weekend staying in Liverpool and then fly back out home hours after the fights finish. Would need to find a luggage storage service if one exists in Manchester to pull that off though.

    Was hoping it wouldn't be the 8th, flying out of Dub to Barca at 12pm on the 9th.

    I suppose it's still doable...

    The 8am flight if it doesn't get delayed will be grand for you lad. Just booked there for 60 all In, bit of a risk but sure look.

    I'm holding off booking anything until I hear something more definite. That article is from 5 days ago.
    Already mentioned about disney on over the 15th, but theres a girlband gig on Friday 7th in the MEN too. They said the Sydney show(yes it was on a much larger scale) took 5 days to setup. I'm not sure they would be able to break the stage down from Friday night & setup for Ufc overnight.

    They could be playing Europa League on the Thursday? :)

    Not if it's International Weekend.

    Unless that was just a dig at United being in the Europa...

    In which case, :mad:

    Hmm. Seems like a bit of a no brainer. Looks like the event is definitely the 8th. The only doubt is where.

    Just don't be blaming me if it's wrong. I'm not booking any car hire until its confirmed, just a free cancellation hotel.
    Any injury or issue with the late license could scupper it.

    Whoops ;)

    If event is kicking on late as suggested might actually hit the Rochdale game for something to do in meantime.
