3am main card. Me v the marching powder will be a decent match up 🍺😮

[@charliecharlie566]

Diego lopes vs Arnold Allen would be unreal

[@FightDisciples]

Imagine 😳🔥

[@deanglover2612]

3 am start is crazy 🤪

[@samjones3167]

Mad shout would love to see Leon's little brother Fabian get a UFC debut on this 😂

[@wemoveforward6413]

Older brother

[@samjones3167]

@@wemoveforward6413 Hmm always thought Leon was the older one

[@unsub6737]

Some good suggestions Adam. However 3 things are guaranteed: Death, taxes & Yair not flying to England to fight a lesser name than him, ranked below him, on a losing, on the prelims & not far off from the Mexican Independence day card at The Sphere. If u know Yair, u know he aint taking that fight. Lopes might take the Arnold Allen fight though, bc of his ranking & that's a great fight.

Can’t fuckin wait for more UFC in England.. My people know how to get down 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇺🇸

Would love to see Jordan Vucenic on this, if anyone from CageWarriors deserves it, it's him

[@lazunleashed1]

Really poor decision from the UFC to choose that 3am start time and a massive kick in the teeth for UK MMA fans. We stay up all night most Saturdays to watch their events and pay for our subscriptions, Fight Pass, pay the PPVs when they come around - only to have two fingers stuck up to us when they finally bring a numbered card over here. They changed the start times for Singapore and Abu Dhabi numbered cards previously - so why not the UK? And if they're not going to adjust the start times, then what's the bloody point of having it over here? How many fans are now (not only priced out) timed out of attending this card? Add to that the British fighters having to completely alter their training regime and fight-day routines to fight in the middle of the night - Leon and/or Tom will be walking at around 4AM!!! Think you boys and your place in MMA media, should be making bigger noise about this as it's really unfair and a massive statement from the UFC showing that they most definitely care more about satisfying the US audiences and bringing in more PPVs than appeasing and "paying back" the UK fans for the numerous all-nighters we pull in support of their product. Many Americans all over socials are agreeing with this and saying "Well we'd actually love a midday card!" - its' not like prime time UK is middle of the night for the US?! It will sell out anyway, £200 a ticket, so doubt anything will happen that will change this. But you boys should be pushing back on this and making it clear that no fight (with the exception of Aspinall vs Jones - which we know isn't happening) justifies this start time and, ultimately, this treatment of the UK MMA fans. Really really disappointing.

[@roymunson1]

Great show Adam, top job.

[@XKdirtjump]

Absolutely quality all round guys. Aa usual

[@katelyn9182]

You do a good job casserole!! Lots of love from Australia 🇦🇺

[@jonoharper4729]

Great card Adam, but I wouldn't put Belal or Mokaev on, two of the most boring fighters. Let's only have bangerz on this card 😂

[@shaunmorritt-cc4mw]

Mokaev is far more entertaining than Belal.

[@S24312]

Thanks Matey as usual liking your enthusiasm and may say hello at Manchester and you can buy me a pint 👍🇬🇧👍

[@Lezzyboy87]

Allen should be above paddy, paddy is a bum and cant wait for him to get humbled

[@99PTR99]

MVP v Gilbert Burns would be my choice.

[@Dylanadshead]

CLD is a middleweight and Modestas is a light heavyweight, Patterson’s moved up as well whereas Haqparast is still at 55, great card though, buzzing for 304!

[@fred3831]

It’s a shame they’ve completely destroyed any hype for this card by the ridiculous fight times. What a way for Dana to show how little he cares about UK fans. Do us a favour and have all the future cards in America and nowhere else as it’s pointless.

[@DaveMufcHarry88]

It's not the first time and won't be the last. If it means Leon and Tom make more money from ppv I'm down for that. I'll be there if I can get a ticket.

[@Sperrindetail]

Caolan Loughran is a must for the Manc card.

[@J_Stamps86]

Isn't Gillian Robertson booked against Michelle Waterson-Gomez? And I think Sam Patterson is now at Welterweight.

[@michaelcox4639]

Can’t wait to see paddy fight again.

[@Guru-ue2yp]

Sam Patterson isn’t ufc level Oban Elliot is great in the cage and great on the microphone Josh Emmett vs Arnold Allen MVP vs Usman❤

[@georgemerry3555]

Defo needs a few CW lads

[@nerojay2105]

Give Arnold Allen a break 😂 he arguably should’ve won against Evloev and the fight before that was Holloway. Now he’s ranked 6th and you want to give him the 14th ranked guy who looks dangerous as fuck for anyone.

[@samjones3167]

Also like to see big Mick Parkin on the prelims

[@AnnoyingSteak]

I’d like to think if Crosbie vs Oban was to be made it would be on 303.

[@bammo1988]

Why did you pull it down last night, I was half way through lol

[@FightDisciples]

File was corrupt mate. Lots complaining it was just audio no pictures. So had to re-do it

[@bammo1988]

Ah I didn’t notice because I was just listening. ✊🏻

[@britaniawaves4060]

I understand the emphasis of needing a decent name on the pre lim headliner but can’t help feeling like not being on the main card is Arnold getting shat on…………again

[@molepup]

He needs a another big win then will be up there for some time. Early days, sill to rush it

[@HuwEvans.]

Love FD. Disappointed to see the London card is on US time. I understand the financial side, but come on, why bother hosting in the UK. If that’s the case, would love to hear Adam’s and Nick’s take.

[@Dukestboy96]

Manchester*

[@AKMcF]

Can't argue with your pick Catman. Aspinall vs Periera would be epic (for Tom haha) also think MVP vs Wonderboy would actually be a great fight with potential for a fun build up - the two most elusive, pin point accurate fighters in the UFC and also NMF belt up for grabs 😀 😆

[@seanfffails2423]

Haven't we just seen this?

[@FightDisciples]

The file was corrupt at the start mate. If you watched it no worries but this one works from start to finish.

[@JoeMama-bc2mu]

Paul Craig vs Chris Curtis let’s gooo

[@AnnoyingSteak]

Leon Edwards vs Belal Muhammad 2 Tom Aspinall vs Ciryl Gane Stephen Thompson vs Michael Page Renato Moicano vs Paddy Pimblett Arnold Allen vs Giga Chikadze Molly McCann vs Sam Hughes Muhammad Mokaev vs Manuel Kape Nathaniel Wood vs Daniel Pineda Marcos Rogerio de Lima vs Mick Parkin Jai Herbert vs Mark Diakiese Chris Leroy Duncan vs Edmen Shahbazyan I’ve got two more slots free.

[@alfiechinner2025]

CLD vs frevola or shabazyan??

[@urbanboutiqueapartment6623]

Adam v Pete :))

[@Matthew-fb6lh]

Gna be a serious event hope the pricing isnt daft waited for this for years.

[@JM23.]

MVP v JDA stand up banger

[@Know3ody]

Ouch. I can feel the face pain through my phone 😂

[@evilkhamzat]

Nasrat is fighting jarred gordon on the Saudi card, and Arnold gets an opponent higher than Movsar who just beat him? Nah Cattrel I expect this bias from Pete! 😂😂😂

[@joeloughran5088]

Darren Till to make his UFC comeback vs MVP would be unrealllll

[@Ricardo0777]

different divisions

[@rossanderson4832]

help me! Is this 3 am card a rumour or legit? If so, I really dont get it? It looses so many fans and how does that even work practically for the fans and the city?

Just had major surgery. Don’t think he’ll be fit

If paddy is on the card I won’t be buying a ticket. Not that it matters to anybody else but thought id let anybody reading this know.

​@mattbrooks90 people get confused with petty and having standards.

[@butmay1893]

one or two fewer*

[@mattbrooks90]

So lame to do it on USA time...

[@HalleyBay61]

Gane or Blaydes, I think Tom destroys both of them. He will use this event to stamp his position as THE heavyweight to beat. The quicker he wins the more pressure is put on Dana to sign Jon Jones up

[@alexstirling1880]

You’ll obviously not push back on the start times. Ridiculous for Uk fans. Especially when the last ppv they held in England was at normal times

I think they're doing ok 😂

[@themightyjim3614]

@@wonkeydonkeyTV you wouldn’t like to have clips whilst he speaks about the fighter? Good editing makes all the difference, it’s not 2005 anymore mate even bisping knows to have good editing to keep it entertaining. I listen to this as a radio sort of show but I wouldn’t just sit down and stare catterall in the face for half an hour on my tv.

[@willdebeasten4397]

Why doesn’t Leon get the respect? Huge fan of Tom, but Leon is the A side at the moment.

[@Know3ody]

My guess is because he's pretty boring as a person and isn't a very exciting fighter either. Take the usman ko his fights are basically him playing safe and not going for a finish.

[@tansey9142]

Ian garry is an absolute bell end

Bullshit start time

Mokaev is boring he would be a detriment to the card
