I assume there was some sort of planning condition regarding hours.
Does Funderland not close at a similar 10/11pm as the Avica/Croker planning limit.

Yep all shuts down bout 11 but it non residential area so maybe easier get exemption.

Presume ye are talking about Parc UI Chaoimh? That's currently being demolished and it's also a residential area

If your a member of fight club how many pre sale tickets can you buy at one time ?

Ticketmaster allow a maximum of 4 tickets to be purchased at a time.
Fight pass allows you purchase a total of 6 tickets, not overriding the ticketmaster limit.

Hopefully it will be a decent card; especially after last year the number of high profile fighters who said they wanted to fight here was great

seiphil · 05-07-2015 12:38pm

I read somewhere that the UFC were looking at Lobov vs Bilharinho for this card.

kearneybobs · 05-07-2015 11:08pm

Apparently Norman Parke has confirmed that he'll be on the card.

If so i hope he'll be quite low down as he's 1-2-1 in his last 4

To be fair, be was screwed a bit in a few of those. He should have been 3-1, only the Tibau loss was a legit loss imo.

Ultimately I try to rate him on his ability, not his luck with the judges/refs

The Sun is complete trash, no disputing that - but 3 months of fightpass and access to the presale for ~€15 is tempting.

Where do you get this? I was on fight Club website today and cheapest Presale option is for €75..

Its through the Sun+ service.

maximoose · 09-07-2015 2:27pm

Wish I'd heeded the warnings about Sun+...

Having a nightmare trying to get the Fightpass Access which was offered as part of the sign up.

I asked about that on their live chat. They said they would send those details on in September. Although I'm near certain he was confusing that with the presale code. Emailed UFC too, as it wasn't metioned on the sun website just in their email.

maximoose · 09-07-2015 2:39pm

I was told by Live chat on Monday I'd have access details within 48 hours, nothing came so went back onto live chat yesterday and was told I'd have it within another 24 hours.

Surprise surpise nothing came, back onto livechat today and I'm told that fightpass is not included. I've just sent an email to their complaints lads with screenies of the sign up offer, and the welcome email which both show it as included - will see what they say.

Not sure if I read it here or not, but someone said they think Cathal Pendred could headline this event? Surely not!?

MartyMcFly84 · 09-07-2015 3:48pm

If Conor wins (which I think he will.) He will probably be too much of a international draw to have on a card in the Three Arena.

The time difference will more than likely ruin PPV buys, which are a major source of income for the UFC. They will more than likely keep him for bigger cards in the US.

I think we will see all the other Irish fighters on the roster, I am not sure who headlines. But if Cathal wins this weekend he will be 5-0 in the UFC no other Irish man will have that record bar Conor.

Well, you'd hope it would be against a ranked opponent, a good one.

Tbh I'd hope he doesn't headline at all, even if he wins this weekend. Cathal isn't a headliner.

Are there any other names in the mix to headline besides Conor?

MartyMcFly84 · 09-07-2015 4:41pm

Could be Paddy Holohan, after Glasgow

There's been so many sub par fighters headline I wouldn't be hugely surprised. Just two examples

Maia vs. LaFlare

Bader vs. Saint Preux

martyos121 · 09-07-2015 8:58pm

If Pendred does headline a card ever, it won't be in Ireland as he'll be cannon fodder for a good prospect they're trying to build up, which they could do since he has a great record, but lacks the skill of a top fighter.

He'll be on the Irish card barring injury, but against a more evenly matched opponent, maybe Rick Story. That's a good co-main for an Irish card IMO.

dave1982 · 09-07-2015 9:09pm

Might get announcement after 189 in post fight presser

DrPhilG · 12-07-2015 5:21pm

*WARNING*
189 SPOILERS

Gunni to headline Dublin maybe? Thank God for John Howard, he saved us from the hellish possibility of Pendred headlining.

I know Conor has been vocal about getting on this card but I really don't see how. Obviously he can't face Aldo here but he could take a LW fight if Aldo was still to be out.

But with the unification tentatively suggested for January, there's no way Conor fights in late October.

Nelson vs Maia wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility though.

Nelson vs. Maia is a lock for the main event IMO, unless they're being generous and we get the HW title eliminator of Miocic vs. Arlovski, but I doubt it. Can't really see what else they could give us, maybe Duffy vs. Masvidal or Dariush as co-main? I'd be happy with that personally, but I hope we get a big, international main event like the one I mentioned.

.ak · 12-07-2015 7:13pm

Anyone think that they'll need McGregor's name to make it a stadium gig?

ShaneU · 12-07-2015 7:25pm

Dana said if he beats Aldo in Vegas he'll let him defend in Ireland in a stadium. Won't be happening this year.

johnpro · 13-07-2015 2:58am

I can see all the Irish lads on it, it makes zero sense not to?? Would love a Gunnar headline against Maia!! Does anyone think that there'll be a call up for any of the fighters competing on the bamma card or is ur to close together??

Gunni isnt Irish.I dont we should be claiming other nationalities as Irish when if other nations claim an Irish athlete we are al up in arms like the BBC the other day claiming Mcgregor there was uproar.

There's a difference here in that McGregor has no real connection with being British. He doesn't train there, he wasn't born there, he's not associated with any team there..........

Gunni considers himself adopted Irish. He's affiliated with a team here. His team mates are all Irish.

There's also the manor in which we're claiming him. We're not claiming him for glory. We're claiming him because he's "one of us" the same way you might consider Ray Houghton or Jack Charlton "one of us".

We'd claim Gunni if he had a 2-40 record. I'm not sure the BBC would be rushing to claim Conor if his record was the same.

Irishcrx · 13-07-2015 10:46am

I'd say Gunner will be on the card alright but not headlining.

McGregor at best will make an appearance but will in no way be on the card. He obviously has an issue with his knee that he needs either instense phsyio or surgery on so we won't be seeing him again until the Aldo fight which will most likely be in January.

Pendred may be on the card but nowhere near a headline slot, I don't know what to think of him tbh. I don't hate him , he seems like a decent lad but he doesn't seem to be natural in the cage , doesn't seem to possess much knockout power/ability and is a bit of a damp squib.
