    Anyone know where and when the weigh ins are?
    Also ,has there been any info on any afterparties or any other fighter appearance.

    Heard a rumour that Bisping might be making an appearance in the MMA shop on camden street.

    Word on the street is that The Vault is where a few of them are heading after wards. I don't know how solid this info is though

    Thought I read on ufc.com that the weigh-in was at 4pm? Could be wrong though. Any thoughts on how early you should try and get there/will there be much standing room etc?

    The weigh in is at 4pm, doors are at 3pm though. Should be loads of room for everyone but best to be there early to guarentee good seats IMO

    Anybody know how good the weigh ins tend to be? I know it can be a bit hit and miss but just wondering if it's worth taking a half day from work. Be going to Joe Rogan that night anyway.
    And I've friends going to the Fight Club Q&A-do people reckon if I arrive at 355 or so would they be able to keep me a seat beside them or will someone just tell them to get lost?

    Well its basically men geting into their under wear and getting weighed.
    You might get the odd bit of staring down or fighters getting into each others faces.Ive been to one in vegas and it wasnt exciting by any means but its a chance to get a few photos of fighters albeit in their Y fronts

    Sound man.

    Am going to Rogan that night also. Hopefully it will all contribute to a full mind-bendingly great mma weekend.

    Am also, not so secretly, hoping that my match on Sat afternoon is postponed due to inclement conditions as it will adversely affect both my Friday night and Saturday pre-fight routine:(

    From MMAMANIA http://mmamania.com/2009/01/13/ufc-93-weigh-in-details-and-information-for-franklin-vs-henderson-ppv-event-in-dublin/

    Fans in the area are encouraged to show up about 1 p.m. local time to rub elbows, take pictures and get autographs from the several fighters who will be located in the venue. In addition, UFC Fight Club members will be able to attend an exclusive Q&A session with The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) light heavyweight winner from season three, Michael Bisping, at 2 p.m local time.
