More WWE crap on this thread, Is there not a wrestlemania forum or something for this BS?

Scooper · 26-03-2015 11:10pm

Loving the embedded so far. McGregor is trolling Aldo bad. Laughed at Aldo's coach telling him he's in Conors head too. More like the opposite. Can't wait until the week or so leading up to the big fight in July. That's when the real business begins.

What time will the tickets be available tomorrow lads? Haven't been able to access a computer all day.

Meant to be working on a college project but just watched the latest embedded so had to fire up photoshop

Mellor · 27-03-2015 6:27am

I think Aldo's trainer will lose the plot before Aldo tbh

Yep, Conor is warming them up very well ready for Dublin next week :pac::pac:

NIMAN · 27-03-2015 6:52am

Lads, I'm not really into all this MMA stuff, but have taken an interest after watching RTEs programme on McGregor.

I was wondering do these guys really hate each other do you think, or is it just to drum up the hype, the interest and the marketing of the fight? The two of them are going to earn big out of this after all.

And if its anything like boxing, it doesn't matter which one loses as a rematch will no doubt be lined up.

I wouldn't say they hate each other, well, maybe Aldo does hate Conor now.

Conor is doing what Conor does best, getting in his opponents head, as for a rematch, hard to say, the UFC don't automatically do them, if it's a very close fight or has a controversial finish then yeah, otherwise the next ranked fighter will get his shot.

Awesomeness · 27-03-2015 7:39am

When you look at the seats still available for a stacked 187

And then look at the tickets remaining for 189 before they even go on general sale

Its pretty crazy

but1er · 27-03-2015 7:54am

Delighted to just have tickets for the event looking at that map!

**** you Dave haha your nevermind the seats it's all about the atmosphere!

Awesomeness · 27-03-2015 9:08am

Seery due to be at media event. Would guess that means he will have a fight announced for 189

Paul Redmond is gonna be there too. Either they'll be announced for the 189 card or they're gonna host a card here... Or nothing at all will happen.

maximoose · 27-03-2015 10:02am

Got two tickets to the Fan Event just now fairly easily.

Wondering if it's worth it now if it is gonna be hard to see anything!

ASOT · 27-03-2015 10:05am

Absolute bull**** I sat here refreshing from 8.55 as soon as they came up I selected two then it gave me this stupid message when I went to proceed! Its a load of bollox.

It'll be worth it for the atmosphere alone I'd say.

MikeyGorse · 27-03-2015 10:09am

Came up unavailable for me....oh well!

That_Guy · 27-03-2015 10:09am

Hope you all got sorted lads. All gonski now.

Amazingfun · 27-03-2015 10:09am

I tried so hard and was in there right at nine....it left me in the que for over 8 minutes then said it was sold out

If anyone is feeling charitable I'd love to go!

ASOT · 27-03-2015 10:10am

If anyone ends up not being able to go give me a shout; long time poster here and I feel absolutely sick to my gut about not getting them both times and seeing some already up on the internet for sale -_-

I'd be ever so grateful if you need company

the deftone · 27-03-2015 10:15am

Well that didnt go well. If anyone can help out with tickets please let me know

DrPhilG · 27-03-2015 10:17am

Would make sense to have some other Irish on the 189 card, I won't believe that Aldo is going step into the cage until I see him making his walkout...

Maybe I am a bit naive or something but why do you feel that way?

Dave 101 · 27-03-2015 10:27am

Couldn't get tickets on eventbrite anybody any tickets going to waste could you help a brother out

mdwexford · 27-03-2015 10:29am

Got two this morning.

Facebook going mental with people giving out.

Yeah I'm delighted.

Was just on the ipad looking at link.
Soon as 9am hit clicked it and they were there.

Grabbed two job done.

JoeyJJ · 27-03-2015 10:37am

To be honest, would rather have no other irish at ufc189 chance to see them again hopefully with 2 title fights the main card will have 1 fight less.

Picked a few I would love to see that wouldn't be out of the question unless matched up, hopefully they stack the card like ufc 100, Michael Johnson, Edson Barboza, Al Iaquinta, Dong Hyun Kim, Kelvin Gastelum, Lyoto Machida, Vitor Belfort, Phil Davis, Ovince Saint Preux, Josh Barnett, Stefan Struve.

Haha I did the exact same. I was able to click for 2 tickets and register but then it just came up unavailable

MrStuffins · 27-03-2015 10:40am

I went to the event page out of interest this morning at 9:01 and the tickets were gone.

That_Guy · 27-03-2015 10:44am

With regards fight additions, I'd be a little surprised if Hendricks/Woodley wasn't added and maybe a highly ranked featherweight match up.

Mendes/Lamas and Faber/Edgar are booked up but IF both fights finish early I would absolutely love to see Mendes/Edgar added to the card.

Watch it happen and Edgar's arm will fall off leading up to fight week such is the curse of the UFC injury bug.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying he's looking for a way out or anything daft.

But he pulled out of UFC 125 with a neck injury, pulled out of UFC 176 with a shoulder injury and was on the shelf for a while with a foot injury.

It's a worry to be planning a trip this big around someone with that kind of injury record and I think it would be a wise move by the UFC to have a few other Ireland vs Brazil matchups on the card in case Aldo does drop out, so that the big numbers of fans travelling from the 2 countries will still have something to cheer for. Could be a bit of a crappy atmosphere if we're all sat there wondering what might have been!

They should also have another FW contender ready to step in at short notice.

slayerking · 27-03-2015 11:50am

Checked with the convention centre, the press conference will be held in the forum area, website states a capacity of 3040.

I really hope its not a flat floor like it looks on the website

View from the inside here. Looks pretty flat alright.

DrPhilG · 27-03-2015 11:54am

So now that the dust has settled on the ticket sales, what Boardsies are going and where are you sitting?

I'll update that seating plan from the other day with our locations, see how spread out we are, lol.

I'm Block 1, Row U, seat 14.

StickyMcGinty · 27-03-2015 11:56am

Section 204, Row A, Seat 19

Awesomeness · 27-03-2015 12:05pm

Section 109 row dd seat 4 and 5

DK224 · 27-03-2015 12:28pm

Section 5 Row N seat 14

DrPhilG · 27-03-2015 12:32pm

DrPhilG - Section 1, Row U, seat 14

DK224 - Section 5, Row N, seat 14

StickyMcGinty - Section 204, Row A, Seat 19

Awesomeness - Section 109 Row DD seat 4/5

MikeyGorse - Section 6, Row Q, seat 5-8

MikeyGorse · 27-03-2015 12:46pm

Section 6, Row Q, seat 5-8

glass half full · 27-03-2015 1:20pm

Section 215 Row G 14 & 15.

On a side note, I noticed that the row in front has a €125 increase on each seat. That does not seem fair.... I suppose it is what it is.

On a side note for all my pasty skinned Irish friends, I was over there last week with the missus and it was very hot (30 degrees some days). July will be approx. 45 degrees according to a cabbie we spoke to.... FACTOR 50 ALL DA WAY I SAY! FACTOR 50 I SAY!
