Do yous think the size of venue would be a major stumbling block? Reason I ask is I noticed echo arena in Liverpool have no events between 1st & 15th of October. I think Liverpool is similar distance away from Clitheroe(where Bispings from) to Manchester. Its a smaller venue than MEN though. Cheap flights out of Belfast to both anyway

I'd say the Manchester boy in him won't let that happen, either at home or in London it is. I would much, much prefer the event in Liverpool myself though, it's a really great spot to head out for the night too.
Echo Arena is actually much smaller than the MEN though, just doesn't make sense that they'd go there for half the crowd they could get in Manchester.0 -

How's he a Manchester boy? I was always under the impression he was from CLitheroe.....its a random tiny place, so much so I couldn't have made that up!
I think he was introduced "from Clitheroe" when he was 1st in UFC, but none of the American's would have a clue so changed to Manchester as they'll heard of it,probably.
Event's not going to be over until 4am, might not be too many places still open or letting people in. I've been on nights out in both, both good spots0 -

Ah I just usually tend to narrow down Lancashire to Manchester in fairness. Not sure what the facilities are like in Clitheroe to facilitate a huge UFC card but I'll go out on a limb and say they're slightly below the desired standard. :pac: He's also a United fan I just read so he does have a strong connection with Manchester based on that alone.
Either way, it's definitely not one to miss going to with it being so near, still undecided on going all out and making a weekend of it or just flying over and back just to catch the fights so I can avoid paying for accomodation at all.0 -

My geography if England is crap but looked on map earlier. Liverpool & Manchester look about same distance away from Clitheroe. I was trying to find some of his early fights to see if they do say Clitheroe but could only find in the Schafer fight Buffer says "fighting out of Liverpool"....that generally means the gym though I think. He used to(or still does?) train & talk about the wolfslair gym which was in Liverpool.
I'm not doing a weekend, save on the money plus with the new weigh ins now they don't seem as good a spectacle as they did before. Obviously better for the fighters but don't think the fan experience would be as good.0 -
