Any idea when the UFC will be coming to the UK again and were it will be, or if not the UK in Europe?

Yeah it was announced at the start of the year they where looking to do a show in Birmingham so i think thats where they'll hold 89. I really hope anderson fights on the card, although if the luck we had last time is anything to do by he'll be announcing a broken leg or something soon lol. Touch wood. Dan hardy will be fighting on this card to, thats the word on the grapevine anyways.

I'm getting to really like these English cards. I watch it in the afternoon live, then I can go out at night, instead of staying home to watch the fights.

If Anderson Silva is fighting on the card then I'm going, it may involve sleeping in a tiny shitty hotel room but damn it would be worth it. Student life ey, can't beat it

Dana White has said they are building a new indoor arena in Scotlan and that the UFC will go there when it's built.

There are plenty of indoor arena already in place that are suitable - so get on the phone to Dana and tell him that - will ya?

tbh i think it will be UFC 90 and not 89, if you look at the dates there is around 5 weeks between UFC 88 on 6th Sep and 18th Oct so i think we will have 89 somewhere around the end of Sept beginning of Oct

plus we have had UFC 70-75-80-85 in England so it would be wrong to cut the chain lol
