Im shocked with fighters like rory singer,eddie sanchez and stevie lynch on the card I exppected tickets to go in minutes LOL.

how can anyone who lives here complain about the card, who would ever have thought it would come to belfast, yeah the lightweight fight was the best of the night and the main fights were average but i wholeheartedly thought it was 55 quid well spent!

great night and great craic, looking foward to dublin[/quote]
HELL! YEAH! ! !

Btw, the beer thing was a joke… was hoping to get something started =p

Where u at Owen, Cork? Anyhow like you I have watched UFC from the very begining thanks to the internet . I also watch other mma events, Pride IFL etc. Anyhow like you Owen i was so excited to hear the UFC was coming to Ireland, we (6 of my mates) were all set to go hoping of course it would be in Dublin in The Point. Then we heard Belfast which again is another 2 hour drive on top of Dublin, we were hoping to drive back to Cork after the event even with it finshing we guessed around 11pm ish, but Belfast was a put off but still once the card was right we would still make the effort, we didn’t care for the price of the tickets we ould buyt the most expensive ones as it might be a while yet before UFC comes to Ireland again. Then we saw the card and we just was so disappointed and said it wasn’t worth the hassle. Dana listen man, you got it wrong badly wrong. You know I have watched the UFC from the begining, the days of the gracies, bas, shamrock, back to UFC 1 and have watched Pride K1 and other smaller mma events, so please don’t think that we don’t know mma here or that we weren’t aware of mma or UFC. We just won’t be fooled that easily, in fact I would go on to say that many of us here in Europe have more understanding of mma than what some think. I don;t mean disrespect but when I hear boos at ufc events it makes me so annoyed. Many attending I believe only have heard of UFC. So Dana next time you want to come to Ireland and I hope you do several times a year make sure the card is worth paying £250 sterling plus ($493) for and I and others will make the effort to go. Just my piece.

A card like this one would struggle to sell out anywhere in the world.[/quote]

I agree with you completely on this. Although the under cards ended up being better fights then the headliners. If you want people to come and see the amazingness that is the world off MMA and the leader that the UFC is. It was hardly something I wanted to spend money on the PPV for, and would mos def not have spent the money on the live tickets. I mean come on Forrest vs. Hector “Who” Cuida vs tyson “who”. Do not get me wrong the undercards were great fights better than the Headliner, but most of the people in the US hardly knew who half the guys on the undercard were let alone people who are getting to see this live for the first time. You want a great turnout in a new country give them a big bil. Give them the MAnstream UFC RAndy Couture, Chuck Liddell, Tito Ortiz, recognizable names. Not names the we here in the US struggle with unless you are a hardcore MMA fan. You can not tell me the rough and tough Irish Football “CLUBS” wouldn’t love to see the big names bang it out. Then once you gte them hooked, they know what the UFC is about, then you can hit them with the smaller names. This event more than likely would have struggled to sell out in the states let alone in a country with little knowledge about the UFC.
