It is far, far more than just a possibly. The date of Affliction 2 will have to be set in stone before this gets fully confirmed.

Sounds good. Just disappointed that if it does happen that weekend, I defo won't make it.

Should this go ahead it is interesting to note that it will have competition the previous night somewhere, which cannot be mentioned.

Ive been told by someone in the know that the ticket costs will very high as Ireland is very expensive for UFC to run.

"Front Row" at the o2 in London last year were £300stg, so expect them to be at least the euro equivalent of that.

If it ends up being true, I think I'll splash the cash and get the best seat I can.

When they came to Belfast for UFC 72, the cheapest seats were still like 50quid i think.... and it went up to the sort of range people have been mentioning.

So i'd imagine somewhere around 50-75 Euro would be the cheapest maybe.

I have it on good authority that that is going to happen and its most likely Serra V Hughe's also throwing Marcus Davis in the Mix .

OT, this looks very interesting. The more details i hear about the more i'll want to go

Everyone Ive heard from has went to a live UFC says the atmosphere is amazing and an Irish crowd being a an Irish crowd would make this extra special. Ireland is meant to be a key market in UFC's international expansion according UFC's President of European Operations Marshall Zelaznik. UFC has major plans to break into Germany possibly having a Couture fight in the country, shame we wont get that.

Yeah i was at 72, and i'm in agreement. Even though the card wasn't great, and the non-PPV matches were superior to the main show, the atmosphere was fantastic throughout. The Irish fans went absolutely nuts for Forrest Griffin particularly.

Going by what people have been saying, €50-130/140.

but your guess is as good as ours.

Just out of interest, where were you seated for those shows?

someone needs to change the title of this thread

franklin headlining the irish show again, they could have picked someone else, its a bit disappointing given that GSP was marked to headline ufc93 for a while, but i suppose beggars can't be choosers

You still remain partially at fault for that, had you had not been a lightweight the night before, that bottle of baileys would not have lasted until the following morning.

That said, it tasted very good coming right out of the fridge the following morning. Made for a nice healthy breakfast for the road trip ahead.

Maybe it's just me, but this is the pimpdaddy of the WWE we're talking about.

When Batista and pork go in the same sentence, sausages isn't what comes to my mind.

Has anyone ever actually gotten someone else in the F5/FU/Fireman's Carry position in a UFC fight before?

If so.. what happened? did they just stumble about the ring and fall? or did they go for an F5-ish move?

I'm pretty sure that I've seen a guy holding his opponent in a sort of F-5 position before. I think the guy on top was going for a crucifix when the other guy stood up. He tried dropping him on his head then
