UFC Fight Week

Petermc83 · 06-07-2015 10:19am

guys.. i downloaded the FightWeek app on Itunes last week, id highly recommend it if your thinking of going to the Expo... it gives times/locations for signing for every fighter going.. places that are holding events and maps too..very handy for when we arrive!

getting v excited now!

This will be my 3rd Vegas trip but first UFC event in Vegas. It was on the bucketlist to see an Irishman fight for a title in Vegas...does "Interim" count?? ha..

JoeyJJ · 06-07-2015 8:16pm

Looks like they are gonna open the full arena for the weigh ins.

That_Guy · 06-07-2015 9:24pm

Tons of tickets left for Invicta on the Thursday night. Reckon I might grab a cheap one at the door.

Foxtrol · 07-07-2015 3:40am

Tickets for early access to the weigh-in for Fight Club members are up in our accounts now to print off.

Just pre-registered for the Fight Week access pass. Looks to get you into a lot of free events too. Still haven't decided on the fan expo itself though.

Close your eyes and spin around and I'd say you'll find a free ticket to the TUF finale being thrown your way...

JoeyJJ · 07-07-2015 11:25am

Are there brackets up for the ammy's. Interested to see what sort of numbers you'd have to get through, in say the lightweights.

You'll see them all floating around the MGM, this was incredible the last time...I couldn't get over how approachable they were. We played blackjack with Bruce buffer, had lunch with Tim Kennedy and got to spend a good half hour chatting to Conor (day after the fight) The only guy who seemed slightly odd was urijah hall, we were having the crack with tony ferguson and he just stood there and didn't say a word

And yes, before anyone comments I'll get a brush and sweep up all the names I've just dropped

Lmao it must have been weird meeting Uriah Hall and finding out that he's EXACTLY as bizarre as you'd expect.

Optimistic...

I'm expecting a beast of a queue for the weigh ins, FC or not.

Yeah i expect to leave there about 1-1.30 to head to the weigh ins

DrPhilG · 07-07-2015 4:37pm

Is there going to realistically be anything worth seeing at the weigh ins?

Queuing up for hours to get an autograph is no fun. Most vendors have been squeezed out by Reebok and their ridiculous uniforms.

HOF induction I suppose might be worth seeing.

Do you mean worth seeing at the expo?
The more im thinking bout the expo, the less enthusiastic i am about it... $40 just to spend 3-4hrs there..and probably in a queue aswell... sounding less and less attractive.. but id be raging if i didnt go either.

I did the Expo at 100 in Vegas and 120 in London. Wasn't overly impressed, and this one will be worse due to the Reebok issue.

No other vendors means there's nothing else to do but queue. Which means longer queues.

I think I'll shoot guns or play poker instead!

It depends what you want. If you’re looking to get right up the front then you’ll have to get in line early for FC but if you’re happy with just entry before the general public you’d have very little waiting if you arrived anytime between 2:45-3pm. Aside from being right up the front (most of which will be reserved anyway) how close you are doesn’t make too much difference, most of the fun of the event is the singing/banter.

Do you not get into the pool party with expo tickets??

Yeah, but I think you also get that with the free wristbands as well.

My phone is dead at the minute but check/download the app. It has all the information you’re going to need. Outside of that Google is also your friend.

Cheers, numbers are a lot lower than I'd have guessed. Hopefully I'll get to see footage if I don't get over in person
