They've now announced that the Franklin v Kampmann fight is going to be the main event ... pretty weak card in my opinion. Would have been great to see a championship fight!!

I live in Belfast and I'll admit it was a pretty bad place to live in during the 60s with the troubles, but its not like that anymore! Its one of the most visited cities in Europe and has the best night life in Ireland. You guys need to cut us some slack we're a small provence with a troubled past. And the fact that organisations such as the UFC are coming over here just shows how far we've came and how many UFC fans there are in Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland! Looking forward to Rich and Forest, I'll definitely be buying my tickets asap! Would've loved for Chuck to have been fighting in Belfast; but you can't have everything!! p.s. better to live in houses with steel barriers than live in a caravan in a "trailer park"!!!

The average house price in Belfast is £200,000 ($400,269). In fact in some cases Belfast is becoming known as the most expensive place to live in the UK and Ireland making it more expensive than both capitals London and Dublin. Im waiting for your response so i can just argue again.
