Should be a huge card!

Who would like to see on it?

It would be kind of funny to see every seat past the first three rows tarped over.

 

[Cousin Oliver]

Rampage vs. McGeary.

Dam that's crazy? O2? That's a solid arena. Interested in seeing how they will stuff it

Link to sauce?

F*cking excellent venue. Always loved it.

Crowds are surprisingly well-behaved and cheer for all the right reasons

Nah, Rudy Bears rematch. Fight was too close to leave it without a second part.

 

[ggtopdog]

Rampage vs mcgeary
Kos vs Daley
Kongo vs mitrione rematch
Sass or Etim vs Melvin
Page vs karo

That would sell the O2 out guranteed

Is MMA a hard sell in England? Every time UFC goes it seems they sell out even with bad cards.

They seem to do all right, but Bellator has had difficulty selling out bingo halls. They film it like the fight scenes from Rocky III, with everything outside the cage in the shadows, and possibly with cardboard cutouts for an audience.

UFC sold out the last London show in 27 minutes, 17k tickets and a main event wasnt even announced at this point.

Had Bisping/Silva been announced they probably would have sold out even faster.

So no its not a hard sell but thats because UFC doesnt go to England much, its one or two times a year.

I think Bellator wont have a problem selling tickets, it will be alot cheaper than UFC tickets, it will be something brand new and they will bring fighters like Daley back, MVP, Liam, maybe Rampage etc.

I think they will do better in Uk than they do in the states for this one show.

RUmor was Kimbo/Thompson rematch but with Kimbo failing a roids test that wont happen.

So you do

Liam vs Rampage or Mo/Davis

Kos/Daley

MVP in squash match


Get those three and they are good.

Texas Commision might give out another 90 dayer but you have to think if they're smart they're going to try and get Kimbo and his 1-0 kid on the same card

Liam vs Rampage (gets Page in champ clause or diminishes value win/win)
Daley vs Koscheck
Linton Vassel vs Brandon Halsey
MVP vs Ward

they could also sprinkle in James Thompson, Melvin Manhouf or any other names they want to push internationally

 

[Kinger85]

About damn time.

Bellator has so much UK talent on their roster, it's stupid not to do 2 shows a year there.

 

[The Reed]

Fixed.

[post claiming Shannon Ritch is a legit fight goes here]
