Really looking forward to this. Big test for Till, having pulverized Cowboy. Also it’ll be nice to see Wonderboy hopefully being less cagey, and hopefully it turns into a bit of a war

rob316

Will this be on at a reasonable time? I'd go if it was. The last card I was at in the UK was a joke, crowd were practically asleep.

Ultimate Seduction

Can't wait for this now. It'll be a shame to see Till get beat in his home town but what can you do only make some money off it

rob316

reports confirm it'll be on at a time to cater to the local audience. That's me in so!

D.Q

Anyone on here using presales regularly enough, is it easy enough to get tickets for in demand shows through FC?

rob316

Ya want to know this too. Ready to book flights and accom

Be prepared and you'll be grand. I've never failed and I've don't some serious high demand events like 100, 116 and 189 in Vegas, 205 in New York, and McGregor vs Brandao in Dublin.

Be prepared to pay more than you would like for the ticket. Set up a ticketmaster account and log your card details with it in advance. Set up a Ticketmaster.co.uk account as well as a .ie one.

If your bank has a verification system make sure you know your passwords for that too.

I've never had trouble either through fight club. But I'm always as prepared as prepared can be

im slightly confused by the welterweight division at the moment. how can you have RDA vs Covennington for an interim belt when the belt holder woodley is saying he can fight in july and even if he couldnt fight in july why not have thompson vs till (or someone higher in the standings) for the interim belt. i know thompson has had 2 cracks at woodley but he is still the top contender so he should fight for the interim?

the ufc are really ignoring standings lately. i know there a business but whats the point of the rankings if they wont follow them

In case thompson wins. Who wants a third fight?

I've given 50 minutes of my life to Woodley vs Wonderboy i refuse to give another 25

Inviere

I don’t think Wonderboy gets a whiff of a belt until Woodley is dethroned.

im with you that it would be a tough watch for a third fight but thats more the point i was making. fights should be on rankings and not what fans want to see. i know they are a business and they want to make massive money so why use a ranking system at all?

that could be a while

If it was based on ranking though, why would Till get a shot? Till has had one big eye catching win, and the was against a blown up lightweight who was found out the further he climbed in the division.

I don't know if any of you watched this Q&A, but it really exemplifies for me what Ferguson is all about. He must be one of the most care free fighters on the roster, not conforming to the money fight era or conventional **** talking. There's no denying he's a little unusual with his choice of words, but I think it's nice to see this level of honesty and individuality at this level of MMA. Completely mirrors the creative way in which he fights too.

So much cringe.

i dont think till should get the title fight. he should of been given someone lower in the rankings.

i think he is a very under rated fighter. a lot of people dont like him because of how he fought the 2 wonderboy fights and the maia fight but i think he fought them smartly so he could keep his title

Cant stand listening to Ferguson, way too cringy

Subcomandante Marcos

Hunto, Bambam and a few other big Samoan boys are over in Cardiff for the fight tonight.

I'd love to go for a pint with that group, especially if Parker wins.

Ariel mentioned this on the MMA Hour. See if he shows up in Liverpool now. His priorities are clear.

Have a feeling Parker is going to embarrass AJ. He's too cocky and he's acting like he didn't get dropped by a 40 year old klitschko. And if Dana is really offering him 100s of millions to fight in the UFC he might already have 1 foot out of the right and in the octagon.

I see Parker is 5/1 to win. Thats a great price, might be worth a bet.

Subcomandante Marcos

He's there to try and get Eddie Hearn and AJ to sign up with Zuffa Boxing as their US promotion partner.
I'd say you're going to have to surgically remove his tongue from Eddie's ring after this weekend, two bigger leeches would be hard to find anywhere on earth.

Dana isn't offering him anything to fight in the UFC.

Dana is trying to sign him under the Zuffa Boxing banner to be the lead promoter, in partnership with Hearn, for an attempt to crack the US PPV market and an eventual unification fight with Wilder.

I thought they already had a UFC 25 years press conference? Anyway, winner who will be at it and what will be announced.
