Usually Fight Club on Wednesday, Newsletter (about 6 tickets combined) on Thursday, and general on Friday.

So Fight Club April 11th I believe.

Gunnar vs Magny is apparently going to be on the Liverpool card too!

Is it definitely a fight night event or could it be ppv?

It's a fight night but even so couldn't rule it out being a Fox event and in line with US timing.

Would be some cheek of them to put a non-ppv card, with no title fight on in the middle of the night. Can't see it happening at all.

Fox could just air or live or on delay if they wanted.

It’s already confirmed as being a FS1 card, isn’t it?

Also a Bank Holiday in the UK that weekend which might make it suitable for a late card with it being on a Sunday (not that they’d give a bollocks about the fans anyway :pac:).

I still think 90% chance of the usual 9pm main card time, but yeah, the late card definitely can’t be completely ruled out.

For those who don't get Liverpool tickets, UFC Hamburg July 22, tickets go on sale 2 weeks after the Liverpool ones.

I think Magny is a terrible match up for Gunni tbh.

Obviously the Irish connection, but Gunni is massively overrated on this site. Won't ever get near the top

They've did it previously in Europe for the Sweden card that was Gus/Rumble and it's actually one of Fox's most successful cards

For a bunch of lads staying up for the cards at home I dunno what the issue of watching it live in an arena at the same hour is. One for Bisping Hendo was unreal unusual experience but wouldn't knock it as much as I thought I'd might.

EagererBeaver

I'd say 50% of the joy in that for lads was being able to go straight to the airport and not have to pay for accommodation!

Paully D

I don’t think I’d ever want to experience the Bisping/Henderson time scenario ever again :pac:

We flew over on the Saturday afternoon and back on the first flight Sunday morning.

I’ve never, and I mean never, experienced tiredness like that before or since. :pac:

I’d probably have paid €500 for a hotel for a few hours kip if offered it when walking out of the arena. :pac:

Wrongway1985

I'd a hotel enjoyed the few hours, Up all night watching fights and drinkin' some pints too not topping it off by rushin' off to catch a plane at the crack of dawn...that idea is retarded! :pac:

UFC 204 was a surreal experience alright. Great fun but jaysus I don't want to have to do it again. I can't understand how there wasn't more trouble within the crowd. The bathroom situation in that arena was a complete shambles too

There was a bloke at the end of our row who was passed out on the floor by 1am. People leaping over him to get to the bar/bathroom all night :pac:

The jacks was acknowledged even by the event staff as a makeshift smoking area

Was the same in the o2 Paddy's weekend

That Manchester card was a nightmare. It was a perfect storm. I was so so tired, quickly transitioning from very drunk to very hungover. While also having to navigate an airport to catch a flight home at 7 am. Never again.

Hotel Booked this time and an afternoon flight back

Ultimate Seduction

Seeing mentioned Bisping wants on the card now too. Can't see him being on a card and not main or co main on his last ever fight.

rogieop

Manchester was mental. Lesson learned for this time, hotel booked and afternoon flight also. Manchester airport at 7 am after that was hell on earth.

We also were close to missing our flight, because not surprisingly, 20 odd thousand people bailing onto the streets at 6am left taxi's extremely scarce.

No. The expectation is that it almost certainly WON'T be one.
