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).

Fuck that.

My feelings exactly:

£150 for a ticket, then travel, hotel, food and beer, it's not a cheap do. Add to that the extra it will cost just because its London rather than anywhere else in the country plus the ball ache journey and I'm out.

If they want me to travel to London, at least give me a PPV. We haven't had one in the North since UFC 80.

105 was in Manchester.

Correct that was a weak card also

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 card

Update: After speaking to PR people surrounding the UFC, we were told the UFC have not confirmed any events in the UK for 2013. The Ticketmaster link has subsequently been updated with, "We currently do not have any tickets on-sale for UFC - Ultimate Fighting Championship."

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 :)

Haha, I actually said, "I realise you're just telling me this as the offical line, right?" No more was said.

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.

^^^ Thats one thing I cant deny, regardless of the names, the fights have always delivered.

Haha I suppose our accents are both gobbledygook to the untrained ear. There's people from the west end of Newcastle I can't even understand. It's just a noise

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

The number of big name/meaningful fights have declined since setanta sports went tits up. 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.

Fight! UK Online -

It is probably still happening, just UFC not confirming it for now. Glory moved their event on the same night back to March, and listings on Ticketmaster don't just go up by accident, they probably just jumped the gun.

You can get accomodation and book traverl for cheap prices this far in advance. Haven't been to a bad UK event yet - always been great fights, but anything can happen.

This.

The sooner the Hydro in Glasgow opens for business the better. Then I can afford to drink myself into a coma afterwards and crash in my own bed.

Yeah getting on SKY SPORTS or another channel that pays big money is the only way DFW is going to put FOX/PPV events on in UK he's made that quite clear in the Nottingham press conference.
