UFC on FUEL 5 Official For UK, Pickett-Jabouin Among First Announced Fights

A long-promised trip to Nottingham, England will materialize, as the UFC on Monday confirmed that it would visit the city for a Sept. 29 event which will be UFC on FUEL 5.

The show -- the first UK event since last November's UFC 138 -- will emanate from the Capital FM Arena.

In announcing the date, the promotion also confirmed its first two fights for the show, with the first matching up UK bantamweight contender Brad Pickett against Canada's Yves Jabouin.


The 33-year-old Pickett has split his last four bouts, but most recently defeated Damacio Page in a second-round rear naked choke win at UFC on FUEL 2. He's 21-6 overall.

Jabouin has had a more successful recent stretch, capturing thee fights in a row although two of them came via split decision. Following his unanimous decision victory over Jeff Hougland in May, he's 18-7.

The other announced bout pits a pair of TUF alumni, with TUF Live semifinalist Andy Ogle facing Akira Corassani. It will be the official UFC debuts for both men. Ogle is 8-1 in his pro career while Corassani is 9-3 with 1 no contest.

While those are the only two confirmed fights, the event is a likely landing spot for Nottingham native Dan Hardy, who recently ended a four-fight losing streak in spectacular sytle by knocking out Duane "Bang" Ludwig.

Stefan Struve vs. Stipe Miocic to Headline UFC's Return to England

Heavyweights Stefan Struve and Stipe Miocic will headline the UFC's return to England later this year.

The big man tilt will serve as the main event of UFC on FUEL TV 5, which will take place at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham, England, on Sept. 29.

The Daily Telegraph's Gareth A. Davies broke the news on Friday, and MMAFighting.com has confirmed that both fighters have verbally agreed to the fight. (Update: Struve has confirmed the fight on Twitter.)

The 24-year-old Struve (24-5) has won his last three fights in a row, most recently submitting Lavar Johnson via armbar in 1:05 at UFC 146 last month.

Miocic, 29, improved his record to a perfect 9-0 at UFC 146 when he defeated Shane del Rosario via second-round TKO.

Also scheduled for the event is Yves Jabouin vs. Brad Pickett and Akira Corassani vs. Andy Ogle.

zelfde gameplan voor struve als bij lavar zou ik zo denken, of gaat dat niet lukken bij iemand met een worstelachtergrond?

[The Company]

Je was me voor... De Engelsen zijn niet echt blij met deze card.

Engelsen moeten niet zo huilen, het is maar een kaart op fuel tv waar niemand naar kijkt. Struve heeft nooit een saai gevecht gehad en de winnaar van deze partij krijgt zeker een top 5 tegenstander als Picket en Hardy ook vechten hebben de Engelsen niks te klagen.

[Diz]

Mooie kans voor Struve om zich nog verder in de kijker te spelen!
Denk zelf dattie Miocic wel moet kunnen hebben, en ik voorspel iig weer een vette sub!

WAR Struve!

[Peacey]

Denk dat Struve dit wel wint met een mooie sub.
Forumbroeders die die kant op gaan?

[LuckyBastard]

Ik heb al een week vrij gepland en ga zeker met hun die kant op.

Voor het geld hoef je het niet te laten denk, een weekje kost denk max. 1000 euro en dan heb je nog een UFC shirt erbij.

Ben erbij! heb vip kaarten

The main event for UFC: Nottingham has been confirmed. Stevan Struve and Stipe Miocic will meet when the UFC returns to the UK in Nottingham on 29th September.

England's own Paul Sass will meet Matt Wiman at UFC: Nottingham on 29th September at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham. They will meet on the main card.


UFC President Dana White said:

The bouts are coming thick and fast now as another exciting fight has been confirmed for UFC: Nottingham.


A welterweight bout will see England's Che Mills meet Duane Ludwig at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham on 29th September.

[LuckyBastard]

Two matches in quick succession this morning. It has been verbally agreed that England's Jason "Shotgun" Young will meet fellow featherweight


Robbie Peralta
at the Capital FM Arena in Nottingham on 29th September. Young is coming off a win in Sweden over Eric Wisely.

[DK]

Op welke manier gaan de mensen naar Nottingham toe voor dit evenement? Volgens mij gaan er geen directe vluchten heen.

[LuckyBastard]

Via Frankfurt 290 euro.

Kan ook wel goedkoper denk ik hoor als je even goed rond shopt.

[DK]

Ik ben van plan naar Manchester te vliegen en vandaar de trein naar Nottingham te pakken. Dan zou ik totaal €120,- kwijt zijn.

[steftheboxer]

Via welke site bestellen jullie te tickets? Ben even aan het kijken op internet maar wordt duur grapje.

Ticketprijzen liggen tussen de 75 en 325 pond, vliegticet zal ook wel tussen de 150 en 200 liggen, twee nachten pitten + eten en drinken. Je bent zo 700 euro kwijt.

Duitsland was een koopje vergeleken met dit.

UFC on FUEL 5 to Feature UFC Debut of Tom 'Kong' Watson, Hathaway vs. Maguire

The fight card for the UFC's debut in Nottingham, England - officially UFC on FUEL 5 - continues to fill out. The UFC announced on Thursday the addition of England's own Tom Watson to their middleweight roster and will have him face 'The Ultimate Fighter' season 11 cast member Brad Tavares in his Octagon debut.

Watson, 29, is a long-time staple of the British mixed martial arts regional circuit. He's a multiple-time Cage Rage and BAMMA veteran and has only professionally competed twice outside of England when he fought a two-bout stint in Canada's MFC in 2010. He holds notable victories over Murilo Rua, Alex Reid, John Maguire and Matt Horwich.

Tavares, 24, enters this bout having accumulated a UFC record of 3-1. He most recently defeated Dongi Yang at UFC on FUEL 3.

The UFC also announced on Thursday welterweights and U.K. residents John Hathaway and John Maguire have verbally agreed to face one another on that card.

Hathaway, 25, is on a two-fight win streak in the Octagon after suffering his only professional loss against Mike Pyle at UFC 120. He most recently defeated Kris McCray at UFC Fight Night 24 and Pascal Krauss at UFC on FOX 3.

Maguire, 29, is undefeated in his UFC run and will be making his third appearance in the Octagon when he faces Hathaway. Maguire won a unanimous decision victory over Justin Edwards at UFC 138 in his UFC debut and most-recently submitted DeMarques Johnson at UFC on FUEL 2.

Heavyweights Stipe Miocic and Stefan Struve are currently scheduled to headline this event. In addition, Dan Hardy will face Amir Sadollah, Paul Sass will square off against Matt Wiman and Duane Ludwig will fight fellow striker Che Mills.

Gunnar Nelson vs Paul Krauss op UFC on Fuel tv 5.


Leuke aanwinst, ik hoop dat hij er klaar voor is.

[steftheboxer]

Heb even verder gekeken. Een vliegticket is 63 euro met Easyjet, vervolgens met de trein naar Nottingham en daar twee nachtjes slapen kost 75 euro. Echter alle goede tickets zijn al weg en kan alleen nog maar op slechte plekken boeken.

Het grootste probleem zijn de boekingsites. Dit zijn zogehete 3rd party's en gooien bizar veel geld op een ticket. Dan krijg je nog reserveringskosten + het verzenden van je tickets en kom ik uit op 225 euro voor een kutplek.

Ik ga dus niet heen :-(

[weks]

reizen per boot (Ferry) is ook een redelijk goedkope optie
retourtje met p&o (Calais naar Dover) heb je al voor 80,-
dat is per voertuig. dus ook
als je met 5 man gaat blijft dit ongewijzigd
