    It is scheduled to be broadcast on Fox Sports 1 directly after the NFC Championship Game which is one of the biggest games in NFL. Should generate a lot of exposure for McGregor.

    I went to a previous Boston event Randy vs James Toney few years back.

    A word of advice, dont buy the cheapest tickets. The venue has some nasty pillars blocking your view if your up the back!

    Keep an eye on the UFC site, usually about 6 weeks before the event. They will have details of where to purchase tickets when it is announced. I'm sure someone will up date it on this forum also

    They give plenty of notice in the newsletter too.
    If I hear the date, I'll pass it on.

    Rory MacDonald on Conor McGregor: “He’s on the cutting edge”

    Two of the most exciting up and coming stars in mixed martial arts today, Conor McGregor and Rory MacDonald, have struck up quite the mutual admiration. The Canadian welterweight number one contender is currently waiting in the wings for the title fight between Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler to produce his next opponent while McGregor will fight Dennis Siver in January with Jose Aldo a possible summer opponent.

    “He’s on the cutting edge of some stuff I think.” MacDonald said about McGregor on today’s edition of The MMA Hour with Ariel Helwani.

    “His movement, his striking It’s got my attention for sure, I want to emulate some of it.”

    “He’s doing the right thing to get noticed quick but I think he would have done it anyway with his skill-set. I’m more a fan of his skills. The way he talks is the way he talks but I’m more a fan of his work”

    He sounds like a big fan. He also said that he'd like to train with him and will even come to Ireland to do so.

    Dustin Poirier will be on later, should be interesting.

    Sounded like he had real trouble dealing with the loss, feel for the guy he seems ok. Still young tho he will bounce back

    Assume this is the thread to ask Boston related questions?
    Many heading over? Anyone found any decent deals. Assume tickets will be easy to come by once they are on sale?

    Prob should of rephrased that. I mean like being at the ready to buy tickets when they go on sale. I would estimate they would be available a few days anyway.

    A lot might sell to fight club members and pre sale so a lot of the tickets might gone, plus cards in Boston and Conor headlining.Tickets go sale the 20th.

    hope you get some:)
