Kanye loves fishdicks -Goderson Silva -105 was not a weak card, Randy in the main event, WW no. 1 contender fight co main. Plus Bisping v Kang. The 2 Brit TUF winners making there official debuts, and Gustafsson was on the cardMooSaucy -Correct that was a weak card alsoChimp Strength -105 was in Manchester.3rdLion - Travel to London and accommodation there is going to be ridiculously expensive for a Fuel card and the ticket prices for Nottingham were astronomically high for the talent there (though admittedly the fights were good).My feelings exactly: Brandon Vera and Denis Kang in main/co main event is weak card, bro. |

Fight! UK Online - that old chestnut eh :) the amount of bollockings i had over the years first from AE and now from RC about announcing event dates before they confirmed them etc. They always kick off about it :/ i dont mind tellings off from RC so much though :) |

butters 209 - Last decent uk card was Henderson vs rampage now what a card that was !!! In terms of big names on paper, you're probably right. Hughes vs. Alves was a big name fight and came after that - you had Bisping, Werdum, Kampmann, Swick, Marquardt etc. on there but it wasn't as strong. Every UK event I've been to (all of them since UFC 70) have delivered good fights though, regardless of name value. |

Penn vs. Stevenson in Newcastle was pretty cool actually. Kelly vs Taylor, Werdum vs. Gonzaga and some big KOs! |

But yeah no denying the majority of UK fights have delivered The only way we're going to see PPV level cards over here again is if Dana starts making some of that SKY money. I just don't see SKY getting involved with the UFC at this point in time so we could be waiting a while. |

Yeah, people definitely want that. It doesn't really bother me - the atmosphere has always been significantly better for the likes of Bisping/Hardy than the Penn/Stevenson or Rampage/Hendo title fights we had here. |

Just fill the card with talents like Nelson, Manuwa, Etim, Sass, Hardy plus add few new comers. Then throw in few well known yanks and couple Brazilians to mix it up. Boom, we got a fight card. |

Here is my problem with the UFC UK events.... They don't feature THE elite talent anymore. Do they have great fights. Yes. But lots of organisations have great fights, Cage Warriors for example is a good organisation for Up-coming uk fighters that always has good fights. The UFC is THE premier MMA organisation, and I want to see THE premier fighters/fights I've been to 6 UFC events so far and had the privilege of seeing Arlovski, Cro Cop, Machida, Couture, Hughes, Shogun, Hendrson, Franklin, Werdum, Bisping, Rampage etc etc all fight. Seeing those names justifies spending a lot more money on events. The recent UK UFC events simply don't have that same level of anymore. They have taken that away. Yes, they have great fights, but we should EXPECT that! It is hard to justify spending so much money to go and watch these events. I'd rather not go to any of them and save the money for a long weekend in Vegas to watch the Big boys fight.
