Paid Members herbie747 Posted January 28, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 28, 2017 Cool, thanks guys. Was very confusing when I was just seeing Tweets.  Ester Lin "The Northen Ireland fans are going crazy here tonight!" Aerial - "Just landed in Manchester for the show!" Me - "WTF?"

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted January 30, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yep, that's piss poor. The fact that it was announced as the original headliner probably means they had somehmthing else in mind but couldn't look it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Chunk Posted January 30, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 30, 2017 Wow, that's terrible. Regardless of the truth, that completely looks like they waited to see how tickets sold and (now that they've sold out without a Main Event) they've just bumped that fight up to cover the lead spot because what's the point in wasting a better fight when the tickets are already sold. What a shit way to treat your fans.  Looks like that prediction I made of Pickett main eventing wasn't so nuts after all. He's second down to a fight that he could've easily main evented over if the opponent was right. Faber / Pickett would've pissed all over that Manuwa fight.  On the subject of Manuwa, how the fuck is he ranked 5 in the LHW division? In 3 years he's 2-2 with loses to 2 top 5 guys. One of those wins was Blachowicz who's ranked 15 and has never been a top 5 fighter. Basically he's ranked that high off the back of one good win (OSP). Weird. He's talking in the media at the moment about earning a title shot if he beats number 9 ranked Corey Anderson. Ermm ...  So the full London card now looks like this:  Jimi Manuwa vs. Corey Anderson Brad Pickett vs. Henry Briones Leon Edwards vs. Vicente Luque Marc Diakiese vs. Teemu Packalén Tom Breese vs. Oluwale Bamgbose Bradley Scott vs. Scott Askham Darren Stewart vs. Francimar Barroso Reza Madadi vs. Joseph Duffy Daniel Omielańczuk vs. Timothy Johnson Veronica Macedo vs. Lina Länsberg Arnold Allen vs. Makwan Amirkhani  The Manuwa, Breese, Duffy and Amirkhani fights are interesting enough. Pickett will be fun. It's just such a weak card overall - no one single fight that really stands out as having future meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimufctna24 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Ken, he's a bit mental but you like to think his heart is in the right place. Â They said on Sherdog radio years ago that he is a class act away from the cage, and a joy to interview. They had him on just after Mayhem Miller. Let's just say there was a difference in maturity between the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
