anyone going to UFC 75 in London on Sept 8th?

[Elwood]

I really fancy going to this, was curious if anyone else is going. The card looks good, with Rampage v Henderson for both Pride & UFC belts, and Bisping and Cro-Cop also fighting.



Recently crowned UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson (27-6 MMA, 2-0 UFC) will make his first title defense against PRIDE Fighting Championships welterweight (183-pound) and middleweight (205-pound) champion Dan Henderson (22-5 MMA, 2-0 UFC) at the UFC 75 event in London, according to an interview Jackson conducted with CBS 2 in Los Angeles.

During an earlier radio interview, Jackson said he expected the fight to happen sometime in September. He now confirms it’ll be at the Sept. 8 UFC 75 show in England rather than Sept. 22’s UFC 76 show in California.

UFC president Dana White recently said the winner of the cross-promotion mega-fight will hold both 205-pound belts.

Jackson earned his belt by defeating longtime champ Chuck Liddell last month at UFC 71. The quick, two-minute TKO victory capped off the Vegas event and delivered Liddell his first loss in nearly four years. The previous loss also came to Jackson — at a November 2003 PRIDE event.

Henderson, a U.S. Olympic Greco-Roman wrestler, won the UFC 17 tournament in 1998 before heading overseas for a successful career in PRIDE. The PRIDE welterweight champ most recently scored an upset of Wanderlei Silva at PRIDE 33 to pick up the middleweight belt, as well. Aside from Randy Couture, he’s the only MMA fighter to ever hold titles in two different weight classes in a major organization.

Although the Jackson-Henderson fight will be the night’s most notable event, fan favorites such Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic and Michael Bisping are also expected on the UFC 75 fight card.

The UFC has yet to announce whether or not UFC 75 will be broadcast here in America on a tape-delay basis, as was the case with Manchester, England’s UFC 70 event in April.

Just had a look at the UFC page on ticketmaster for ufc 72, you can get a wheelchair ticket for £30. Does anyone know if this would be front row? or some crappy area at back. Not that I'd abuse it or anything
