cheers!

Wow so much seating sold out for a pre-sale. Literally going to be single seats left for general public tomorrow

 

[bkozican]

Only Tier 1 tickets left. I got tier 4...Abit far back but we will be looking into the octagon. Forget Xmas, Bring on the UFC

Tai Tuivasa vs. Cyril Asker just been added

 

[Nickos66]

Yeah.. I missed out on tix.

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

Yeah.. I missed out on tix.

Sold out? Good work Perth.

Why didn't ya get on the presale?

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

It isn't sold out yet. But the only ticket category available is P1 which is $511 a pop

 

[Dan]

Aussie mma fans have sent a strong message attendance wise for last few years

I don't think it's asking too much to get a PPV event once a year in this country.

 

[Nickos66]

Yeah.. I missed out on tix.

Tried for presale - there were only single seats left.

Tried for GA - same thing, mates bit the bullet and bought 2x $500 tix. Pass!

Lightweight Damien Brown vs. Dong Hyun Kim is confirmed

 

[Guy Threepwood]

The card so far:

Robert Whittaker vs Luke Rockhold
Tyson Pedro vs Saparbek Safarov
Jussier Formiga vs Ben Nguyen
Mark Hunt vs Curtis Blaydes
Damien Brown vs Dong Hyun Kim

Also talk about Alexander Vokanovski vs Jeremy Kennedy on the card, but it's a bit underwhelming so far. It's in desperate need of a good co-main event (not convinced Hunt can/should carry that mantle anymore) and should probably have another big middleweight fight on it in case one of the main event guys drop out.

 

[Dan]

Namajunas/Torres rumoured for Perth card.

Not jumping up and down for it but its a good fight.

That we've already seen twice before. How they are putting Torres in over Andrade has me stumped!

Andrade is already booked to fight Kowalkiewicz

 

[Guy Threepwood]

Andrade is already booked to fight Kowalkiewicz

I know she's booked, but surprised they did it the way they did. Tecia and Rose fought less than 2 years ago and Rose won a comfortable decision. I don't get why the #5 ranked contender gets a shot off of 2 average wins and 1 relatively impressive one while the #2 ranked contender just destroyed the previous #1 contender. Personally, I would have swapped them. Have Rose against Andrade and Tecia against Karolina.

 

[bkozican]

Guy Threepwood Take away the main event and this is a fox card at best. This is fast becoming a sh** show

 

[Dan]

Left field option -

Offer Nate Diaz the main event spot against Colby Covington at 170.

Fear not, Ross Pearson vs. Mizuto Hirota just been added.

Why do they seem to think that if they throw a Pom at us and we'll love it. Do think we have some sort of separation anxiety that can only be soothed by addition of an Englishman?

The people's main event!

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Pearson gets on the aussie ufc cards because he has a hot aussie wife who also works for the ufc as a ring girl

 

[newblueo]

card just needs bec rawlings on it an we are set.
why wasn't dan hooker saved for this card as a co main?

save the card put paige v torres an just turn the heating on mmmm

 

[bkozican]

Was reading last night rumours of BJ Penn coming over to fight a new guy and Rose Namajunas is linked to Perth. We need the Rose fight to complete the card. Mark hunt shouldn' be the co main

Bed Rawlings... really?

Hooker looked like he came out of his fight yesterday relatively unscathed so hoping they can find him a match up for this card.

Was reading last night rumours of BJ Penn coming over to fight a new guy and Rose Namajunas is linked to Perth. We need the Rose fight to complete the card. Mark hunt shouldn' be the co main

That new guy was Suman Mokhtarian, the guy who hit the teepee triangle and a twister in fights last year. I believe he has retired and Penn effectively rubbished the idea he was fighting, so pretty sure it won't happen.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Cris Cyborg wants to fight Megan Anderson on this card.

We are just 1 championship fight away from the card being complete.

Matthews v Jungliang and Jumeau v Abe recently added to prelims.
