David Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I know he's been talking about going to welterweight at some point, but going by that video he looks to be in prime shape. 155lbs could be his ideal weight, especially when you consider his height and reach etc. Plenty of great fights there for him as well. Â Can't wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members lambyUK Posted February 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2016 During last night's fight night card there was a mention of tickets for UFC 196 still being available. This shocked me a little so I checked Ticketmaster and there seems to be a decent chunk of tickets still available.  Is this a reflection on how little the event has been promoted or something else?  One thing I was thinking is that I don't think the Irish presence will be as much as 189 or 194 just because how soon this fight has come around. There won't be many working class fans able to afford to fly out to Vegas after only a 3 month break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members herbie747 Posted February 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2016 Yeah, I think it's just too soon to expect people to go to Vegas again from Ireland. They may be saving up for UFC 200. And UFC have also saturated Vegas lately too in general, which affects other fans too. It'll do a good buy-rate though (700k+ I reckon) - I just don't expect people to travel to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanz25 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Also, realistically with Vegas being burnt out, take a look at the ticket prices, for the nosebleeds the cheapest tickets appear to be $300 each minimum. Fuck that. I bet it's cheaper to fly there and back than buy a ticket if your fortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Supremo Posted February 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2016 Meltzer's last report on ticket sales was that some were still available, but they had sold a surprisingly large amount considering the high prices and quick turnaround since 194, and would likely sell out.

With Conor, despite the cost, I just expected a card with his name on, especially after 194, to sell out in a couple of weeks.  If it wasn't for the fact I've got a new born, I would have considered the trip.  Here's the link to see the seating chart and availability.  http://www.ticketmaster.com/ufc-196-las-vegas-nevada-03-05-2016/event/2E005028C5C20E73?artistid=806762&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=830 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theringmaster Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 I shall imagine next week the hype machine will go into overload and the tickets will sell. It really took me by surprise when they said last night only 13 days to go, I was like sh!t I never worked it out to be that close, my brain is on the 'start of next month' brain wave still, not realising next month is next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

METAL ON METAL Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Good little down to Earth interview, good to see him hit out about UFC constantly wanting him fighting in Vegas and how it's a shit deal for travelling Irish fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted February 22, 2016 Paid Members Share Posted February 22, 2016 I find I can only embed using the full version - there's a green and blue icon in the top left corner, three icons in. Click that, and gives you a few drop menus, in one of which you click "media" and then paste the YT vid URL in the bottom dialogue box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
