    That is one **** main event. They think we'll turn up and watch any old **** when it's over here. Thing is, we probably will.

    Nice to see the UFC giving their loyal UK fanbase the respect they deserve, as always. Thats got to be one of the strongest cards ive ever seen

    :lol: The UFC always does this though. Don't they realise British MMA fan's want to see the best fighters too?

    Thiago Alves vs. Papy Abedi has been added.

    Leben vs Munoz better not remain the main event!

    Apparently Leben vs Munoz will be the first 5 Round non Title fight Main Event in the UFC.

    If Leben v Munoz is the Main, I'll opt out of this one, even though Brum is closer than the trip I made to London for 120.

    This would be a 2nd fight on the bill in Vegas, dont see why it should be any different in the UK

    Look at the preceeding 3 UFCs and this fight would be the 3rd, maybe 4th fight on the bill!

    An established main eventer would be nice, we havent had one since Randy in 09. And that was against Vera ****worth. I understand filling the card with UK guys, it's promotion's 101, but as you said, Leben v Mark is a mid tier fight at best

    The financial situation needs to change before we get more regular shows in the UK and/or better quality main events. Look at boxing - the biggest promoter in the country Frank ****** cannot afford to put his biggest stars on normal Sky television because the license fee wouldn't cover their purse and all our other top boxers are forced to go overseas for their biggest fights. The UFC either need Sky Sports to pay for a regular series of smaller UK fight nights shows or get the bigger numbered shows on pay per view. At the moment they're doing the best they can within the confines they have.
