My tickets arrived the other day. Going to see Arctic Monkeys the night before in the same arena and making a weekend of it.

People are quick to bash the card, but Taylor v Njkouani, Pickett v Barao, Omigawa v Young and Leben v Munoz should be great fights. Remember, it's not always the cards with big names that produce the best fights!

Very true....Hopefully there will be some great wars and ill be happy..Abit of a waste of time having Leben Munoz as the first 5 round non title fight though...cant see it lasting 2 rounds either way!

Its a shame Hathaways pulled out injured and probably to late to bring a decent replacement fight on to the card..id expect Etim will make up the main card now.

Jimmy Manuhwa declined a UFC contract to continue his progression in the Gypsy Fight League, sorry UCMMA. Well he defended his belt well at the weekend with a quick stoppage. Im sure he wanted to fight Sokodjou or Houston Alexander next, didnt even know UCMMA could attract that level of fighter, thought he may have to contend with Bob Sapp or somebody.

Nope, I think it was streamed somewhere for a fee. I think SyFy had it last time it was on, but think they realised what a bum event it was to even think about offering money on it again.

Might be on Sky Sports on replay in a couple of weeks though.

Brad Pickett looks like a travelling friend and hes making his debut for the UFC in Birmingham, you mean him ?

Do you know much about this mcguire? Is he worthy of a shot in the ufc?

Has anyone heard whos to be bumped up to the main card now hathaways out? I presumed it would be terry etim.

It is Etim on the main card.

I don't know too much about Maguire. He has a 16-3 record with a notable win over Dean Amasinger and a loss to Tom Watson.

Apart from the BJ Penn vs Nick Diaz fight, last nights mian card was a severe let down.

I had high hopes for Matt Mitrione too, poor performances really.

What was the Cerrone submission like (if anyone has seen it)? I thought he was on the main card for some reason and put him in my treble.
