Any one have a spare pre-sale code?

DrPhilG · 27-05-2015 9:16pm

Has there been any confirmation on start time for this? I've heard various rumours of doors opening at 2pm etc.

SSE Hydro initially had doors open at 6pm on their page which has now been changed to 2pm to mirror the Ticketmaster time.

Looks like it will be doors open at 2pm but no official confirmation yet I don't think.

According to this it's 6pm (UK time)

I'd imagine that'll be the start time for the main card. Prelims starting at 3pm with doors open at 2pm. Just a guess mind I have no idea.

I'm just unsure why it would be at that time.

Doors usually open around half 4 or 5 with the first fight half 5 or 6.

Preliks starting 3 hours early makes no sense. If they wanted to start at a different time I thought it would be later to suit the US times but this wouldn't.

Would be terribly rude of me to suggest that they're scared of the Scottish getting plshed if it's on in the evening? Lol

The Dublin card kicked off at 5pm IIRC

Paully D · 04-06-2015 10:12pm

9 fights confirmed, got to be looking at another 2 if not 3 surely? Most cards these days seem to have 12 fights unless injuries strike. Any thoughts on who might be added?

To soon for Norman Parke and Darren Till after fighting last weekend?

The website is typical Main car times. The venue site says the doors open at 2pm. So 3-6pm prelims makes sense, with 6-9pm main card.

Most likely it’s a licensing restriction.

DrPhilG · 10-06-2015 7:41am

Suits me great. I'm going with a friend and our wives. The girls won't be going to the fights so an early start means we can still do something that evening.

Paully D · 17-06-2015 1:02pm

My tickets arrived today. Getting excited now!

Paully D · 24-06-2015 12:24am

Marcus Brimage v Ian Entwistle added. That takes us to 12 fights and most likely will be the complete card.

Bizarre how Duffy is on the main whilst Paddy is on the preliminary?

I'm not at all sure if that order has been confirmed, I just ripped it from Wiki.

Ian Whelan · 29-06-2015 12:12pm

Entwistle is out, Lobov is looking for the fight, if he does not get it then he must be completely off the UFC's radar.

Brimage fights at bantamweight though. I doubt they'd want him to take the fight at featherweight. Damien Rooney would be a good replacement there perhaps.

Duffy is a star in the making and could potentially challenge at world title level. Paddy won't get to that level.

Agreed Paddy's highlight reel prior to UFC isn't as good as Duffy's who holds a win over an obvious bright star (McGregor) and Paddy's performance in Canada was terrible too Duffy hasn't had that no brainer really.

ItsAnEasyGame · 12-07-2015 2:50pm

All the excitement to carry onto this. The lead up to McGregor fight almost made me forget about this card.

DrPhilG · 13-07-2015 2:22am

Have we a start time confirmed for this yet?

UFC.com just have main card at 1PM ET (so 6pm our time). Ticketmaster and SSE Hydro have 2pm. I'd presume that would mean doors open at 2pm, first fight at 3pm, but I'm sure we'll get confirmation during the week.

You're a busy man, Phil. Vegas to Glasgow in the space of a week!

Paully D · 14-07-2015 12:49am

Looks like we have the times now as the UFC.com site has the below posted:

3pm GMT for the Fight Pass prelims, 4pm GMT for Fox Sports prelims and 6pm GMT for the main card.

More time for going out on the piss that night I suppose. :pac:

Disappointing not to see Holohan on the main card esp. considering Duffy is after one fight.

cletus · 15-07-2015 3:57pm

does anybody know if Pick TV will be showing this as a European card, or is it Fight Pass only

I doubt it. BT are showing the main card at 9PM Saturday.

Yeah, only the main card at 9PM (not live) according to the Sky guide.

Really excited about this now. Just a few bits and pieces to do tomorrow and I'm good to go. What flight are people getting over?

3pm or so out of Derry.

DrPhilG · 17-07-2015 9:51am

Just called the Hydro Arena, they say that cameras are banned for this event.

Eh???

Since when!

Impossible to enforce! Everybody's mobile phone has a camera on it. They're going to confiscate everyone's mobile phone? Like f*ck they are!

I'm on the 7.15 am flight out of Dublin. Never been the UFC before (Mate is a huge fan, just back from Vegas and now this) so am looking forward to it. Also never been to Glasgow. Double Whammy for me. Can't wait

Couldn't give a hoot about the mobile. It's my actual camera I'm worried about!

ItsAnEasyGame · 17-07-2015 1:54pm

20.30 flight tonight, looking forward to this now.

Good Irish crowd over already.

Davei141 · 17-07-2015 2:25pm

Looked like Paddy had a very tough cut.

Zero-Cool · 17-07-2015 2:32pm

The towel was out but still made it. Would have been gas if he threw his jocks into the crowd :pac: Some good scraps on tomorrow night!

wylie · 17-07-2015 5:37pm

I wonder how fighters will handle it if the IV ban comes in. Do all of them use IV's? How much weight can they put back on before a fight?

They'll put it all back on, it will just be a slightly less comfortable process. It won't make any tangible difference.

Zero-Cool · 17-07-2015 5:52pm

Watching a few of the fighter interviews, id Say Duffy is fair sick of being asked about Conor. And i see Guida said Aldo will beat him and send him back to Ireland so he can go back to picking potatoes..... Jaysus sake Clay.

JoJo's stock is gonna plumet if she loses this one.

In fairness, Duffy has talked up a potential rematch a few times, so he can't be too sick of it!

"Talked up" is a bit of a stretch to be honest. The media's infatuation with interviewing it based around Conor's defeat to him and a potential rematch is hard to get around without saying he'd be up for it.
