Maybe I'm stoopid (shut up roper) but I can't find it anywhere, can you be more specific?

Khannie

If you're stoopid...you're in good company....though I didn't look all that hard, it definitely wasn't immediately obvious where I should go (unless it's the thing that wants my money...muuuahahahaha).

Its also been reported in the wrestling observer newsletter that the UFC are scheduling a show in Ireland.

Any time frame you can tell us?

sometime in june is the expected time,i cant really go into detail as alot of things are still to be confirmed but i am in talks with them concerning UFR fight team members signing for the UFC.

but why belfast over dublin? - i presume it will be the waterfront which has a capacity of 3000 which is les than half of the points seated capacity and belfast has a smaller population of 700,000 compared to dublins 1 1/2 million - now apart from me being biased and wanting to see the ufc in my own home city - it doesnt seem to be a well researched business decision - imho

PaddyCoyle

Itll be the odeyessy (sp) more than likely

LOL,and there's me thinking people would be glad it's coming to Ireland at all...:rolleyes:

I'd have no problem in going up to the beautiful city of belfast to watch UFC. Better than flying to vegas

ThatBloke

Maybe it's a sanctioning problem

its nothing against belfast - lovely city and im sure that i will be there myself, just given the choice, like anyone else, i would be happier to have the mountain come to me

that is all!

1. Ireland is broken into three people's: Dubs, Boggers and Nordies
2. Belfast would probably make more sense for Sterling alone, as this conversion favours the dollar
3. PCC's Fight Team have been more active in England than other clubs, so Davy could have had sway in bringing this to Belfast
4. Belfast is a beautiful city when viewed from the River, it was worth rowing just to see this.
5. I like lists

There will be an even in Dublin and another event in Belfast this year. There will also be some PPV's covered by Irish TV. But you will all be hearing about that soon enough !
