McGregor vs Aldo---December 12th **Main card 3am. Conor v Aldo approx 5am

Deadst4r · 25-09-2015 9:22pm

Maybe we should create a separate thread for TUF finale?

Anyway -

"Good evening
I want to extend my sincerest apology for the miscommunication regarding your tickets. We are offering to upgrade tickets to Gallery Seats at a rate of $75 per ticket.

The Gallery area is my personal favorite. The standing area is right behind the area you would be seated. The view may be obstructed depending on where the action may be taking place in the ring itself. Just to give you an idea, the venue itself is more wide than it is long so you will receive a decent view from above looking down onto the ring. Also, there are two bars right behind you which do offer some limited seating should you need to rest from standing.

If you would like to purchase upgraded seats I would be more than happy to assist you with doing so. Please provide the best contact number for me to reach you at and I will call you before I leave for the day.

I look forward to your reply. Thank you very much for your time and patience. Have a wonderful rest of your evening."

Can't decide whether to upgrade or not, on the one hand it's only another £50 but on the other hand I only am really going for the main card and don't care too much.

But I don't want to be stood behind some massive **** and not see anything.

Might just upgrade.

I'm not sure whether to change from standing.

On the one hand I'm only turning up for the main card.

On the other hand I would actually like to see the fights.

I'm not sure if you know, but for the standing is there actually a few rows of people? How can you see downwards when someone is standing in front of you? Obviously standing at a gig is completely different as the stage is above you...I don't want to stare at the back of someones head for a couple of hours.

Thanks for the help!

I seen one guy charging his phone and watching it on the two screens

This was Invicta btw I think there was 5 Irish at it 4 of my mates and andrew mcgratten

Remember the yanks dont drink so no rowdy fans

yabadabado · 26-09-2015 11:34am

Looks like the tickets are all sold now for the Friday night gig.
Is that arena only have 3800 capacity ?I thought they would have looked for somewhere bigger.

Must've had that interim belt surgically removed from his shoulder, either that or they photoshopped him....right arm does look a bit unnatural lol

EDIT: I'm blind.....it's around his waist

but1er · 30-09-2015 12:36pm

Domating again madness

Devastator · 01-10-2015 9:00pm

slightly off topic but we're all fight fans

so reckon a few maybe interested if all goes well

there is a chance Spike O Sullivan is fighting Eubank junior on same day from London. IMO this would be a great way to start a day of fights, watching this about lunchtime before heading to MGM but does anyone, who has been in Vegas, know of a good sports bar or Irish bar that would show the fight?

IF it happens it is on a ppv card, not the headliner so some would any of the US tv stations get it or can the do any bars out there stream fights ?

yabadabado · 03-10-2015 2:14pm

I'm gonna put it here as it might get more notice.
I have 2 spare tickets to TUF Finale.They are e-tickets so there is an option to "send to a friend" so can just email them on and get paid via PayPal.
I paid $336/€306.38 ,Section 202 .
Anyone interested ?

Subcomandante Marcos · 08-10-2015 10:25pm

Anyone know if there's any truth in this rumour I heard that the reason Ryan Hall is coming over at the end of the month is because he's doing his camp for the TUF Final in SBG and they're bringing him in to help the Irish lads with their BJJ?

Would make sense with timing...?

martyos121 · 08-10-2015 10:42pm

First I've heard of it, but yeah it makes a lot of sense. Expecting the finale to be him vs. Thanh Lee so could well be on the cards. One thing is for sure, if the rumour IS true, is that Artem won't be in the finale.

Happy? :rolleyes:

Devastator · 08-10-2015 11:57pm

ack f**k off lads to the tuf thread if you're not gonna put spoilers up

The way McGregor's been talking, I really don't expect it to be two American guys in the Final.

He's going over to SBG, but it's not necessarily for his TUF camp. It's not like he is stuck for a camp.
He has trained at Mjolnir with Gunni recently too.

Subcomandante Marcos · 09-10-2015 1:07am

I'd just been told he'd be around for a while training for his first ufc fight here. Could be nonsense, might just be a short term visit for an exchange type thing with JK. He does a few seminars, team sessions and private lessons with the SBG team and in return they give him some coaching on other stuff he wants to improve on?
The latter is probably more likely but I do know he's not attached to any one team and tends to move around between different trainers because he likes learning different styles. Hence being in Montreal, Iceland and a few of the other well respected camps.

The only thing that's been spoiled was the very first house fight, if you haven't seen that by now, it's your own fault.

wise up trying to justify it and piss off to the correct thread instead of posting up potential spoilers....thats the reason for a specific thread with a warning!

:mad:

If you'd any interest in the show, you'd have seen the first two episodes. Stop looking for reasons to be pissed off at people, it's really sad tbh. And as a matter of fact, even though I said only two episodes were spoiled, nothing was actually spoiled, because nobody ever even said who's even fought yet, so the only reason you think it's a spoiler is if you have seen the first couple of episodes, and you know who's fought, so as I said, you must be looking for an argument.

Cop on.

ItsAnEasyGame · 09-10-2015 9:33am

The more I look at this card the more excited I get. This is going to be sick!
Added bonus of the card the night before.

El Guapo! · 09-10-2015 10:45am

From the charter:

When discussing the results of TUF, stick to the official thread or, if in another thread, use spoiler tags for a period of 48hrs.

Lads, if it's more than 48hrs after the show airs then it's ok to talk about it. But do try to stick to the tuf thread where possible.

Sorry about that, was asking in this thread because the insinuation was that he was coming in to train with sbg and also to train with Conor and Gunni for their ufc 194 fights against Aldo and Maia.

Deadst4r · 14-10-2015 4:58pm

Would anyone have any idea what time the main card will start for TUF finale on the Friday? Or what time the night might end? Even approximate would help. Cheers guys.

Main card will more than likely start at around 7pm Vegas time, should be over by 10pm, maybe 10:30.

Just don't take this info as a given, I'm going by when most Vegas events start, things change, so keep an eye out in the meantime.

yabadabado · 14-10-2015 8:14pm

Still have 2 tickets to the TUF final ,if anyone is interested.

Deadst4r · 14-10-2015 8:46pm

Yeah I was basically trying to decided whether i could go to Joe Rogan or not. Doors for his event is 9pm on the Friday and I have a ticket for TUF.

I don't think I'll make it. Latest he would be on is 10pm and by the time I travel over to the MGM grand it probably wouldn't be worth it.

Anyone? Spike won at the weekend(KO rd 2) and I think the fight with eubank has basically been agreed, just needs signed.
Its on the Joshua card if it goes ahead.

f**k yeah I cares

thanks man, I hadn't heard about this but as I said way earlier in thread I was holding off for tuf because I was holding to see a Joe Rogan standup. Getting ticket now...bit pricey but so is everything else this trip!

edit - for anyone thinking of going to Joe Rogan the tickets cost about $15 more than face value through various taxes! Also tickets in center block cost a bit more so check out the blocks at sides. I got ticket 4 rows from front(could have got closer but through experience of comedy nights I don't want to sit too near the front to get picked on lol) on the aisle on 1 of the side blocks, going to cost about £50 after taxes,exchanges rates, bank fee for foreign transaction

Guys I'm selling a ticket to ufc 194 if anyone is interested Pm me for the details!
