UFC Dublin October 24th

This strike could prove to be a bit annoying in terms of getting tickets posted out. 3 weeks to go so no need to panic yet I suppose.

Buggers.

I haven't got mine yet.

I wonder if Ticketmaster could issue them from ticketmaster UK to my aunt's address in the North?

Strike is over relax lads

Its Andy Friedlander. Was announced quite a while back he was doing the event.

I couldn't believe Buffer was at Glasgow, it makes no sense that he isn't coming to Dublin too.

Fcuk sake.

That's very disappointing.

Really poor card, Only Duffy Dustin P is worth it's salt. Crazy prices charged for what essentially is a cagewarriors gig with one top class fight.

I don't think much of Dalby v Till being on the main card, but Miocic v Rothwell is capable of headlining any Fight Pass card, even in America. That's an absolutely cracking bout for a co-main. Hoolahan v Smolka also a very, very interesting match-up stylistically and of course there's the Duffy v Poirier bout too. The prelims are standard fare for a Fight Pass card in Europe with plenty of home fighters involved as is the norm.

I think it's fair to compare it on paper to what Glasgow, Berlin and Poland were given recently and even including the fact Jedrzejczyk defended her title in Berlin I feel this card overall is definitely better than Berlin and Poland and it's probably at worst equal to Glasgow.

In terms of atmosphere, production and quality of fighters lets be honest here - it blows the socks off any Cage Warriors event and it's hyperbolic to say it's near similar.

Is it expensive? Yes, but it just seems a bit sour grapes calling it a Cage Warriors type card with one top class fight when there's certainly 2 top class fights on it and it's a better card than the vast majority of cards in Europe.

Well said. But I'm afraid you logic will fall on deaf ears.

I don't honestly think he's trolling but it's groundhog day. All these same comments were made last year and the event itself was epic.

This.

I remember cringing at the whinging last year. There I was overseas, a little jealous that I'd be missing was shaping up to be a milestone event. And all I could think of how bizarre people's attitude was to the whole thing. I've been to most Australian events, some have been fantastic cards. But you can't mean an emotional connection the Dublin Event.
