Just signed up for Fight Club to get my ticket, and I see another quality fight has been announced! Can't f'n wait!

Gunni vs Maia Jaysus

Mellor · 04-09-2015 3:23pm

Oh yes.
Yes yes yes

Saipanne · 04-09-2015 3:55pm

God, I hope I can get tickets...

martyos121 · 04-09-2015 4:08pm

Even with Fight Club, I'm nervous about getting a ticket for this now, the demand will be off the charts.

I've the trip over already booked and paid for, so I'll be saying my prayers this week!

DrPhilG · 04-09-2015 4:17pm

Consider me pi$$3d off.

Can't go to this.

Gunni would be better off with this standing, slight advantage for him there although it'll probably make for a boring fight.

I reckon Gunni got the call for this and was like "**** yeah". For a BJJ practitioner like Gunni this must be one of those "I get to fight one of my hero's" moments.

I reckon he HAS to go for the grappling, getting the chance to roll with a legend like Maia and test yourself is too much of a temptation and Gunni is seriously bloody good himself, he has to believe he can mix it up with him on the ground.

I hear you, but in terms of chances of winning gunnis best off standing. Even if they're 50/50 in bjj (you'd have to give maia a slight edge) Maia's offensive wrestling is v strong so he's likely to be on top. It'll be very interesting to see them on the ground though.

I'm hoping gunni can withstand his early pressure where maia likely takes him down, but outstrikes him and improves as it goes on as Maia tends to tire.

Deadst4r · 04-09-2015 5:22pm

Right lads, probably been asked before and I've actually read every post on this topic (sometimes when I'm drunk though..) so I can't remember the answer -

Anyway, can you buy 3 tickets using 1 Ticketmaster account and 3 tickets using another account? Both using the same presale code?

That's a very valid point. Gunni's Karate background means when he strikes he has crazy power, especially in his kicks. He's a very well rounded fighter really, he's long and rangey, fast, good power, very strong, incredible on the ground.

Maia isn't a bad striker at all, people completely underestimate his boxing in my opinion, but he would definitely prefer to spend most of the time on the mat and not have to worry about getting the legs kicks out from under him or a stiff jab in the nose.

I think it will be a great fight either way.

TimRiggins · 04-09-2015 10:24pm

Wow. I was afraid after they annouced the first 3 fights that the rest of the card was going to muck, But they've really pulled it out of the bag this week. Between the Friday night and the Saturday this is going to be an unbelievable two days of UFC, Really picked a great time for my first trip to Vegas!

Was surprised at Gunni and Maia on this as I thought it would only be 11 fights with the two title fights but its 12. As for card layout, I'd say we'll be seeing something very close to this:
Main Card
Jose Aldo v Conor McGregor
Chris Weidman v Luke Rockhold
Yoel Romero v Jacare
Max Holloway v Jeremy Stephens
Demian Maia v Gunnar Nelson
Fox Prelims
Urijah Faber v Frankie Saenz
Michelle Waterson v Tecia Torres
Colby Covington v Warlley Alves
John Makdessi v Yancy Medeiros
Fightpass Prelims
Leonardo Santos v Kevin Lee
Court McGee v Marico Alexandre
Joe Proctor v Magomed Mustafaev

**** I need a fight club code for next week. The wife reiterated the pass for Vegas was available to me. This one will have to be shorter and cheaper than July.

Anyone need a friend for a few days that likes poker and pints

If you haven't booked yet, Thursday or Wednesday to Monday, Luxor or Excalibur, about 750 on expedia last I checked. I'm flying out Wednesday as there are now 3 events, Thurs/fri/sat.

I think this fight might be happening sooner than Dec 12 if they've to do much more media work, which of course they do have to.

I dunno why but the look on Duffy and Mendes's faces makes me laugh

Nice one.

Picture is worth a thousand words as they say. All duffy has to do is stay in the W column and he will get another shot at Mcgregor once he goes to LW IMO.

Vidjo_Star · 04-09-2015 11:45pm

When and who is Fedor fighting.

Did see another answer to this. But yes you can. I bought 4 for 189, and my mate used my code to buy two more on his card - on the other side of Australia, addresses don't need to even match

Gunni has competed against some of the bjj greats already. (Marcelo, Vinny, for example). A much as he'd love to get the sub, or even impose his will on the ground. I think he'll gameplan to give himself the best chance of winning.
That's not to say they won't hit the mat anyway of course

Did you buy them both at the same time? Like were you both going through checkout around the same time?

Thanks for this.

No problem. I bought my as soon as they went on sale, which was middle of the night for me. I didn't send my code to my mate until the next morning. So 5 hours apart at least.

McGregor really is in the head of Aldo. I say Aldo does be having nightmares of McGregor at this stage.

xtal191 · 05-09-2015 3:18pm

Angry Aldo could mean we see him at his best

Saipanne · 05-09-2015 11:00pm

So, I've never ordered tickets for a US event before and I understand I need a US ticketmaster account.

A couple of questions.

When I set up the ticketmaster account, it insists on a zip code, what to do here?

If I pick a random us zip code, do tickets need to be posted out and will this zip code thing cause a problem?

Also on the zip code, what if it doesn't match card details?

Thanks. This really should be easier!

Pulse8 · 05-09-2015 11:04pm

Just put in 00000

You don't get tickets sent out for events you print at home or collect at will call and you should be able to choose your country of residence or choose international
