Thats a joke. Neither card is huge in terms of big names but stacked up against each other, Belfast blows the brazilian card clean out of the water IMO.

They are both ****e enough cards I think.

Looking at tickets on seatwave, they are floored selling for 90e each face value is 175 whats the catch?

No catch, but there will be about a €20 booking fee I'd imagine. Still, that's a cracking deal.

Seatwave is as legit as it comes when it comes to a secondary ticket agency and probably the only one I'd use without bricking it that something is going to go wrong when my ticket gets scanned.

I have to say I'm surprised this event hasn't sold out. The SSE in Belfast is a relatively small arena (11,000 capacity I believe). If the UFC could go back and do it again I'm sure they'd have just done Dublin or London again. I don't think we will see another event in Belfast for the foreseeable.

Surprised myself Arena doesn't have to be amended too much for it so doesn't lose much of it's seating as it does in Dublin (Odyssey is an Ice Hockey arena). Not going myself as I'd made other plans prior to announcement but a number of fights of interest and the amount of fights is particularly generous.

Sorry wasnt floor seats they were good eye level in the lower north stand, said on seatwave original price was 175 sterling I bought 2 for 210, seems too good to be true or else people are desperate to get rid,

Do they just email me them now soon yeah?

Yep. They upload them to your Seatwave account. They will email to tell you they've done it and then you download and print them from there.

You'll be fine. Even look at something on there which is ridiculously popular like a Justin Bieber concert. There's plenty for sale on there. The amount of people who make plans to go to these things and then have to pull out and want rid is beyond belief.

Does any one have an estimate what time this will end at? 11pm?

Anybody any ideas on this?

John_D80

Actually starting to get pumped for this now. I know its basically a small-time event but its got Neil Seery's final fight and probably my fave ever non irish fighter Ross Pearson.

Cant wait.

Swarlez

I have a spare ticket for this event if anyone is looking for one. It's a one of the 45 pound ones. We have 4 tickets, but one of the lads can't make it. Selling it for cost price. Can meet in Belfast before the event or somewhere else if suits.

PM me if interested.

On another note, anyone know where the fighter hotel is?

Gamebred

Radisson Blu they're staying in,

Noticed the name on my ticket is Icelandic so Gunni falling off the card has gotten me a 175£ ticket for 90e excluding charges chuffed with that.

wonderfullife

Neil Seery looked very emotional at the end of his interview with Andrew. Hope he can put that to the back of his mind for 3 rounds and go out and give it everything. Uncle Creepy will probably stand and bang with him so there's a fair % chance it gets Fight of the Night.

Artem first fight on the main card. Any idea what time main card is set to start at? Hoping to catch most of the Ireland-New Zealand game beforehand

First fight should be starting at 21:15 I'd say.

DrPhilG

What's the latest schedule for this, I know the doors open and first fight time has changed a few times.

Gamebred

Heartbroken for Seery lads.

Id absolutely love this fight

DrPhilG

Damn right. Seery would wallop him too, Brad's chin is shot.

Guaranteed fight bonus too!

billybonkers

Hope they bring in Pickett, thought he would step up immediately after the announcement. Meant to be Seery's send off!

ASOT

Only downside is hes fighting Faber in his retirement fight in three weeks.

Didn't even cop that! Won't happen, unless they find someone else for Faber to pummel on short notice

finglashoop

Apparently its too late for anyone to weigh in.

Deadst4r

Gutted.

DrPhilG

Andy Ryan posted on Facebook that Neil would gladly take the Pickett fight.

Doubt it's possible though.

DrPhilG

Definitely off now. Confirmed by Andy Ryan.

Shyte.

Gamebred

The main fight I really wanted to see absolutely sickening,


We are paying for that great night when Conor beat Brandao, cards falling apart since.

Swarlez

are there any fighter events on tonight, i.e. meet and greet at a bar or anything? Seems pretty quiet on events

Sorry I meant later on in the day/night. Usually there is some kind of event in a bar somehwere afterwards

irishejit

Just received this from a buddy of mine about McCall, must've been him as everyone else has completed the early weigh ins.

My mate works in the hotel they are cutting weight in and he text saying some fighter took a fit at 4.30am this morning trying to cut 4lb in 3 hours. He said the doctors took him away to his room

Supposed to be a event with Mcgregor in El Divino afterwards, not a proper meet and greet but opportunity for photos according to the facebook page

That would make sense as he looked grand yesterday!

Sad for all concerned. At least Seery has postponed his retirement, which is a good thing. Hopefully they can get him on a card soon while he's in shape.
