Big week for UFC.

 

UFC 268 is this Saturday night / Sunday morning. The UK’s Lerone Murphy (whom I saw at Manchester convention For the Love of MMA last April) takes on Brazil’s Gabriel Santos, but at the top of the card, UK welterweight champ Leon ‘Rocky’ Edwards rematches ‘Nigerian Nightmare’ Kamaru Usman. Just need a place to watch. Genting are reluctant these days. 

Speaking of MMA, For the Love of MMA have released their full line-up for their second convention. Last year’s was astounding, featuring the UK’s first UFC champ Michael ‘The Count’ Bisping (whom I met). 

For Monopoly Events' second MMA convention, entrance tickets, photo opps, autographs and even training seminars are now available to buy on the site. Here are a few prices: 

Entrance: £25 

Anderson Silva 

Photo £63 

Photo in MMA cage £73.50 

Chuck Liddell 

Photo £52.50 

Photo in MMA cage £63 

Training seminar £52.50 

That’s right. Train in the matted area with the stars of the UFC. I regret not going for this last year, opting for one photo op. The line-up features other big UFC names. I expect the event, the photos and the training sessions will sell quickly, so don’t hesitate. Event runs 29-30th April at Bowlers Exhibition Centre Manchester.
