MMA-UFC UFC 234 Melbourne

[phantom13]

If Rob pulls out due to injury, there would be mass refunds and the arena could be only half full come fight day.

UFC Perth initially sold out but when Whittaker pulled out, a lot of people took up the refund option. The arena looked only 2/3 full for Rockhold v Romero.

Oh if robs gone the event is a bust. Even if they elevate Adesanya to main v Gastelum and make it an interim fight (or Silva really) just saying any of those four are forced to pull out at the event is pretty s**t anyway.

And it’s now confirmed Dan Kelly doesn’t get his hometown farewell, jeez that seems piss poor from the UFC

Hopefully the Submission Radio guys bring this up. Really hope Dana gets grilled about this card.

Going by Twitter, Dan seems righfully pissed.

I've got tickets to this. Very s**t lineup but the main and co main will be worth a view

 

[phantom13]

Yeh I’m heading along as well.

On a positive note the no name guys usually do put on a hell of a show.

A ******* joke is what this is. Still be very entertaining for those going, but fook me... A PPV???

 

[Quivorir]

The whos who of who?

 

[FlowersByIrene]

So does the two blacked out fighters mean there is still a fight to be added there?

No, they are just fighters that don't have a photo so the black silhouette is used as default. Although for that particular fight only one fighter is announced, the other is still TBA.

The worst possible answer.. if they were unnanounced there may be a chance they could be an interesting fighter, but instead it's some nobody who isn't even good enough to have their picture taken yet.

Feels bad man..

It is as if the UFC have said '* it, Whittaker isn't a PPV draw in the US, so just put s**t on the card, the aussie fans will still buy it'.

Which pisses me off, but he is right, I will still buy it

 

[Joker91]

Yep massive flog move by Dana White

 

[phantom13]

Won’t give Dan one of the true servants of combat sport a farewell fight in a card he clearly doesn’t give a s**t about anyway.

Will give Greg Hardy a spot on the first espn card as a co main.

Go figure

 

[JG22]

Professionals mispronouncing fighters names will never not amaze me.



'Kevin' Gastelum, like I get it but did you even read the sheet.

Not sure if anyone saw the Khabib tour report on 9News the other day but wow.

 

[PoppedCorn]

Heard it was 990 bucks for a meet and great with the women hater lol

That's s**t. I guess my tweet to Dana asking him to put Dan on the card didn't work, surprising.

Have you ever tweeted anything to him that has worked?

No (I was being sarcastic with my post btw)

 

[Dan]

No (I was being sarcastic with my post btw)

I know

 

[footyfan1978]

No way would pay $400 to attend. Anything over $100 is over the top, but they obviously get enough that will pay that much it works for the business.

I’ve never been to the weigh ins, they’re free right?

 

[Ry009]

Yeah mate. Emailed Melbourne & Olympic parks, no tickets required either. Presume high level ticket holders probably have priority seating like 193 though.

 

[Quivorir]

Just walk down the front like your supposed to be there. Security had no idea what they were doing at 193 and we grabbed some great seats where it seemed only certain escorted VIPs were allowed.
