    Just booked flights there impromptu. 18e return is too good value with no accommodation expenses. Never been to a UFC event before so hopefully it works out.

    Snooze fest IMO. I hope it's on early as that fight has the potential to put people to sleep.

    a teammate of mine is fighting tonight. Bantamweight, pro fight.
    She weighed in bang on 135lb, she's been cutting weight hard in the lad up, and had to hit the sauna to get the last bit off on the day.

    She makes weight bang on like a pro.
    Her opponent jumps on the scales, announced as 143.5lbs, and she doesn't bat an eye. Did not give a sh*t

    Nearly 10lbs up. Does she have to give up a % of her money?

    Yeah, well the weights are done in KG officially, it was 4kg.
    I'm not sure what happens with the purse. But she said not fighting wasn't an option.

    Just got the results there, she won via UD anyway.

    Im saying if she gets beaten she might be a tad pissed off her opponent missed weight.

    This whole Virgin Media/Setanta fallout is seriously annoying. Has anyone been on to Virgin to cancel subscription? Do they impose penalties for cancellation? Is the only reliable way to watch UFC202 now to get Eir TV (in apartment so Sky not an option). I was going to go fight pass/ppv route but see that UFC 202 is not on there. I think this is very sneaky and shows very little respect for consumers. I only had BT sport for UFC so if anyone has other suggestions for getting other reliable access to UFC 202 please let me know. Thanks

    I cancelled the tv & got Sky in, they came out last week & installed it. No cancellation fee but I think I was out of contract anyways. I'll wait til later in August to switch on BT Sports with Sky.

    Its like six degrees of MMA seperation.

    -Tuke wins a fight in another promotion
    -Tuke is a teammate of McGregor
    -McGregor fights in the UFC
    -Tuke news is ok in the UFC thread

    ;):D

    Sherdog are obviously amazing for fight stats, not sure how they are for event info but they have 204 posted as Oct 8th Manchester now.
    http://www.sherdog.com/events/UFC-204-Bisping-vs-Henderson-2-54381

    you'd have to wonder what the hold up is for the official announcement.

    Decided to book my flight for UFC 204... Hopeful flight for UFC 204 anyway. ;)

    €18.34 for that Saturday evening flight - Returning at 8am the following morning. Gonna be one exhausting day/night but I'm sure it'll be worth it.

    Didn't wanna wait around on the lads in case flights shoot up when it's announced.

    I have a feeling they'll put Bisping on the FS1 analyst table this weekend and he'll announce it live at some stage.
