    Weigh-ins are open to everyone (but get there early as it was a full house the last time) If you are a member of the UFC Fight Club you get to go to the Q&A which is on before the weigh-ins. I have a wedding on the same day so I won't make the event (gutted)

    Cool story. Myself and the brother went to the weigh ins from work back in 2009. We left work early and still had our work jackets on with company logo displayed. Immediately after the weigh ins all the fighters went behind the curtain. I took a chance and approached "the security" on the night, he had a quick glance at the jacket and ushered me through thinking I was a fight team member. I grabbed the brother and pulled him through aswell. Team " Leinster driving campus" were in. We took as many photos with the fighters as we could before Dana spotted us and we were fcuked out on our ear.

    The fighters were dead sound considering they were dehydrated etc. Shogun was having none of it though

    Those suggesting that the TUF finale could be on in Dublin can stop now. It's on in Vegas on July 6th. The night after UFC 175.

    And i'll top that again ;)

    I won the UFC Fight Club backstage tour, took my lad with me, had full backstage access for weigh ins, tour of the octagon and backstage, Could choose 4 fighters to have a chat and photo with, went with Rich, Hendo, Shogun and Marcus Davis, was gonna go with Coleman instead of Davis but he was in a real scorpy humor.

    Before the fights we got another tour from Big Dan, who's a mate that i knew well before the event, he took us into the fighter dressing rooms when he did the chat with them, was quite surprised when he talked to Kampmann as he wasn't aware of an illegal elbow, had to be explained to him (imagine a set of headphones etc)

    Also got a fully signed event poster each

    I think it is safe to say that yes it is. It has been announced by the UFC.


  • Registered Users Posts: 435 ✭✭SevereMMA


    We were told by the UFC that tickets should be on sale last week of May / First week in June. That's the current plan, but things can change

    Saying i 'won' it is a lot easier than explaining the real reason ;)

    Yes please!!
    Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 14h

    Gunnar Nelson's coach @John_Kavanagh wants Nelson to fight Rory MacDonald on 7/19 in Dublin, Ireland.

    Bold move but doubt MacDonald or the UFC will take much notice of it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 19,148 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Nelson deserves a Top 10 guy at this point surely? McDonald is way too much of a shot IMO but someone like Saffedine? Maybe Ellenberger or someone like that? A fight with Matt Brown would be good too but only if Erick Silva beats him as I can see him fighting a Top 5 guy otherwise. He was supposed to fight Mike Pyle a while back,that's an option.

    Just to note, UFC now have Gunni ranked at #14!

    I was just recently at the UFC in the O2 London, what an experience!

    Will not miss this for the world!

    Tickets for Fight Night Berlin go on sale in 15 days. That's almost 2 months the show. I remember it being a similar time frame for UFC London.
    Going by that I would imagine they'll go on sale around the last week of May, but that's an absolute guess.

    The last one sold out very fast so this one will be the same, I'll be joining the fight club for pre-sale tickets, can get 6 so will spread the cost of fight club wit 6 mates

    You would have to think after his performance against Maia that Rory would handle Gunnar in the same fashion at this stage.

    Ellenberger would be the worst match up in my opinion he would knock Gunnar out unless he improves his striking dramatically.

    Stun Gun or Matt brown if he loses are the fights I would fancy him in the top ten.

    Have to laugh at this.
    Ellenberger would ko him.
    Gunni striking is very good and its improved immensely while hes been off . Hed make short work of ellenberger.
    I think hes ready for a Mcdonald.would be a great fight and we've seen from Mcdonald in the Lawlor fight that hes vulnerable when the pressure is applied .
    I think maybe matt brown tho next then a top 3 contender.
    Gunni would sub both them or GnP them into a stoppage.
    Hes a ****ing beast .
