[Johnny]

Anyone else going?

I just ordered some tickets, really looking forward to it.

[Fittster]

Who is on the card?

[Johnny]

Michael Bisping v Denis Kang

Dan Hardy v Dong Hyun Kim

Plus the main event which hasn't been announced yet...

[tim2100]

Main event will probably be Dan Henderson & nate marquart, winner gets to lose to Anderson Silva again.

Little Nog will prossibly be on the card to. (Nogaria's twin brother who fights at 205)

[Fittster]

I finding it difficult to be positive about those fights, they don't really grab the imagination. On the other hand the best fights can often be on the under card between unknowns.

Hendo isnt keen on fighting Nate and wants to focus on silva, Hendo is currently a free agent too which is giving him some negotiating leverage.

How much were the tickets? I might look into popping down.

Paul Taylor is fighting on the undercard. Always always an entertaining fight!!

Silva is saying that he wants them to fight and he will fight the winner. As you say Hendo is out of contract at the moment so will lever for either title shot as 1st fight of deal or go back to 205 division.

Tickets are ranging from £40 to £250, plus assorted VIP 'packages'... I went middle of the road and got lower tier @ £100 each, x6. Should be ok as the MEN is pretty small anyway. They are still on presale at the moment, General Release is tomorrow.

Probably going to book an apartment at The Place for the Saturday night, so we can have a few

We went to the MEN a few years ago for UFC. We went middle of the road and got the £100 tickets.

The MEN is a huge place, we where at an 45' angle on the lower tier, some way away from the action. Still a great show. You will have a great time.

Even when closer to the action still spent the evening starring at the screens rather than the cage.

Get there early as when we went to MEN we got the arena at the doors opening time on the tickets, lots of people but everybody walking straight to their seats, but we still missed the 1st 2 rounds of the Paul Taylor fight there

I was definitely gonna go when BJ vs Diego was rumoured to be the main event. If they add a decent head liner I might go.

There are still tickets available on row D floor level, much closer you will actually be inside the Octagon??????
