UFC 138 returns to England!

**** yes!!!









......just seen the Main event :shock::?

 

Leben vs Munoz should be a pretty sweet fight. I like it.

And its in Birmingham so that's a £100 saved on hotels.

 

Hopefully they give us a decent 'big name' on the card this time. Not expecting a title fight but would like a A class star on the card (Bisping doesnt count)Speaking of which, does this coincide with the end of TUF?

 

About a month before. Ironically Bisping vs Mayhem is on the next Spike show.

To be honest I'm struggling to think of who they could chuck our way given rumours that they may want to run twice in December and they still don't have an undercard for what is now UFC 139. But they did surprise us with Couture...so who knows lol

 

Ahhh damn it, that would be a Co-Main I could live with. Let's hope we get a good card and the injury curse doesnt bite too hard

 

:happy:happy:happy

I'm definitely going to make the journey down from Scotland for this one, no doubt about it.

Anyone know when tickets will go on sale?


Let's try to think of which big names could be free and viable at that time - although I know it's a slim chance, I'm thinking if Rashad beats Tito and becomes the next in line for a title shot, that Lyoto Machida may get farmed out to the UK for a staybusy fight, since Dana is maybe still a bit pissed at him.

Can you guys think of other possibilities?

 

Anderson V Machida
Fedor v anyone

Unlikely....but I can dream

 

You might be the only person there. What a shower of ****. You call that a main event?!?!?

 

Junkie is reporting that Brad Pickett vs. Renan Barao will also be on the card.

I expect we'll see quite a few of the local favourites as well: John Hathaway, Paul Sass, Paul Taylor, Terry Etim, Curt Warburton ect.

 

It's a UK main event, so it has to be a fight that wouldn't get third billing on a North American card. Most UK fans are used to it by now I'd imagine. If ticket prices aren't mental and the rest of the card is solid I'll probably be going.

 

Brad Pickett vs. Renan Barao also on the card.

Pickett is one of the better fighters from the UK. They need to add a main eventer on there to get anyone interested.

 

think i will go, only 30mins on the train. will be good if pickett is on the card.

 

You are Scottish?
