Dos Anjos v Covington is the co-main of that one. Though presumably Punk will still be getting ppv points like the last time so maybe his fight is co-main to the co-main

Does anyone think that there would be much chance getting tickets for UFC Liverpool on the newsletter presale or would I be better off just paying the fight club joining fee and getting them through that pre sale instead?

Its probably the best card the UK has seen in a while so its going to sell out fast id say. im going with the fight club, not chancing it.

Yeah that’s what I’m worried about and liverpool will be guaranteed to have a big demand for it aswell, looks like I’ll have to just fork out for the fight club fee!

JoeyJJ · 09-04-2018 3:35pm

Started a thread about liverpool, however the main thing about getting tickets is the level of ticket you want. P5/6 will be cheap but near impossible to get in any sale.

11,000 tickets approx I'd say fight pass will only release around 1500/2000 tickets, same for newsletter.

Good. A 5 year suspension for weed was absolutely ridiculous.

The USADA sanction isn't for the failed test for weed after the Anderson fight, it's for multiple failed whereabouts notices, which is daft tbf, one of them he was 300 meters from his gym where he said he'd be and they never contacted him. Just showed, asked if he was there and left. The system needs some tweaking.

He was probably out the back smoking a joint . Can't see him wanting to fight anyway

Conor, Nick, Nate triple threat match could be on the cards.

Subcomandante Marcos · 10-04-2018 1:31pm

I reckon he fights this summer. Throw him in with Condit for the craic.
He actively engaged with the USADA to sort out an agreement, why bother if he doesn't intend on fighting again?

JoeyJJ · 10-04-2018 2:19pm

Covey Covington what a gob****e, just caught some of his interview on mmahour. Hope he gets smashed no class and comes across as a chauvinistic pig

The Nal · 10-04-2018 2:23pm

I reckon he will 100% fight again. He missed out on post McGregor UFC money, and another Diaz - the good one - will generate a lot of interest. Theres fights on the table there for him against Woodley, Thompson, Romero, Rockhold, Weidman and even McGregor.

And hes great banter.

All of the WW’s and MW’s above would eat him alive. The Nick Diaz fight that I wanna see the most is him vs. Michael Bisping.

Very very interesting if the source is real.

If men's 165 is added and 170 is moved to 175 this is a good development. Not sure there's depth for a female atom weight though.

Whole thing sounds like a load of bollocks though.

dashoonage · 11-04-2018 9:47pm

terezowens.com............legit source is legit.

im telling ya lads...if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck its clearly a giraffe.

Yeah, I've always said splitting 170 into 165/175 has to be the long terms plan.
AFAIK 170 is the biggest division, and if it was split you'd have to think that there's some transfer from 155 and 185

The likes of Cowboy and RDA down to 165 and Kelvin down to 175 being obvious ones.

Then there's the lads who are big 155ers who would be competitive at both 155 and 165 like Nate, Khabib, Vick, and so on.

This has no effect over here in terms of TV rights does it? I'm quite happy with BT Sports' set-up..

Lukker- · 12-04-2018 5:25am

Khabibs dad said he was will only defend at LW once and then move up, so 165 makes sense for him.

BT r signed recently enough so no. Do BT get the Fight Nights actaully?

Going down to 6 PPVS a year might be for the best. The cards have generally been ****e for a while with only a few fights that majorly interest me. I miss cards stacked top to bottom.

Outlaw Pete · 12-04-2018 5:55am

Holm vs Megan Anderson @ 225.

Most likely the winner will face Cyborg.

rob316 · 12-04-2018 8:49am

6 ppv a year would be great they have been really poor lately. Stacked cards hopefully and would increase the quality of fight nights too.

I would have thought 6 ppvs means better fight night cards but maybe they just stack ppvs

The UFC are doing a women's HW division now? :pac:

ricero · 12-04-2018 3:30pm

Ufc 225 is ****ing stacked

dashoonage · 12-04-2018 3:34pm

Sssssh the mma gods will hear you

Porthallian · 12-04-2018 3:46pm

CM Punk bound to be on the main card.

Means either Pettis v Bermudez or Esparza v Gadelha gets bumped down to the prelims. Probably the women although I'm looking forward to that fight

Could be both. The PPV's definitely need to improve though. Right now I think 1 in 3 would actually be worth purchasing if you lived in the US and were that way inclined.
