You can have my pass.

Is that a Fight Club code for UFC 230? Planning on buying tickets today myself but have no code and sceptical of paying the extra $92 for fight club with no main event as of yet. Would happily throw a few bob your way in exchange?

Tickets and all got thanks to him. A true gent. Hopefully I can return the favour to someone in a similar way some time.

Whatever people's opinions are on fighters, coaches fights etc. This forum is full of gentlemen and it really is a fantastic medium for getting help and advice.

The bus organised after ufc manchester to airport was class however that was one smelly flight home with no sleep.

Just to echo this, thanks very much to KingJamsie who gave me his code and thanks to the lads who pm'd offering theirs, got sorted no bother. Yis are all dead sound :-)

I'll be over there next week but have no tickets - any advice on where to watch it lads? Cheers!

Who's the first to land then lads? Hoping and praying the press conference is scheduled for Thursday as opposed to Wednesday. Missed the 194 press conference as I was in transit but the 189 press conference was on the Thursday, so fingers crossed.

JoeyJJ

Thursday 3.30 so prob just miss the presser.

Nice one.

Is there a good site for info like this (ie presser, weigh ins etc)? Thought I’d been reading everything 229 but missed this 😴

Is it going to be at the fight venue, do you know?

Nothing confirmed yet. As soon as anything is though you can be sure someone will post it here.

I think there are gigs on in mgm garden and t mobile friday so weigh ins maybe somewhere small enough. Wont be as many as were at 189 as there was so many student who didnt go to fight at that however weigh ins now only ceremony will be interesting to see if as many are bothered.

Aren’t those face offs for media only in the fighters hotel?

dulux99

Lads what other activities do you have planned while you're there? Joe Rogan doesn't seem to be doing a show on the Friday this time which is unusual. Saw him the last couple of times so I'm not devestated tbh. Probably going to head to The Beatles Love show in the mirage this time but not much else planned other than that.

It's the Derek Warfield version of the Wolfe Tones, ie 1/4 of the Wolfe Tones.
