Leben and Munoz to headline UFC 138 in Birmingham, England.

I agree guys it's another shocker,that been said I will be there usually 50 or 100 are the cheaper end tickets

You would of that they would of given us Cruz mighty mouse

Even at £50 it's a rip off, like I say most people will go just becasue it's UFC.

Probably just UFC trying lick NBC's arse (owner of Versus) and try to screw over Spike TV with a shit card, because UFC and Spike aren't the best of friends at the moment, just wish that UK fans wouldn't be the victims of it all.

Its a downright disgrace we don't have the Cruz fight and that gets the shame of been a versus main event. Where is the justice?

knowing our luck with it been the first 5 rounder main event Munoz will probably hump Leben to death all 5 rounds

Just been announced that the co-main event is Barao/Pickett! What a disgrace. I thought if they brought in a decent co-main event for this card then it could be saved, but now it's a joke.

Barao was first fight on UFC 130 (a pretty poor card also) and Pickett hasn't even fought in the UFC, and then they're all of a sudden co-main event on the UK card.

That's me definitely not going.

Heavyweight Philip De Fries signs with UFC, expected to debut at UFC 138

British fighter Philip De Fries (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC) is the latest addition to the UFC's heavyweight roster.

The undefeated 25-year-old today announced his deal via Facebook.

Although he didn't specify a debut date or opponent, an event source told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) he's expected to fight, fittingly, at UFC 138 in England.

UFC 138 takes place Nov. 5 at LG Arena at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, England. The main card airs in the U.S. on Spike TV via same-day tape delay. De Fries likely will compete on the preliminary card.

Terms of De Fries' deal were not disclosed.

De Fries, a Sunderland native now fighting out of Castletown, has competed throughout England during a two-year pro career. All seven of his career victories, including a May win over former UFC fighter Colin Robinson and a July victory over Stav Economou (11-1-1 at the time), have come via submission. Five, in fact, have come via rear-naked choke.

Only De Fries' latest win came outside of the first round.

Mills is meant to be fighting at BAMMA 7 in September, not sure what's going on there.

ive got my tickets is anyone else going

~It's a proper shit card man, I am not wasting my money on that trash

I got offered tickets, not sure if I can go or not yet. Good card or bad it'll still be a good night to be fair and a couple of the fights will be exciting.

UFC will be doing plenty of ticket giveaways leading up to the card, my chances of going are based on that.

the names are shit but the main card fights look like crackers to me

If they had put a decent main event on it, with Munoz-Leben as co-main event then it would have been a pretty good card for a UFC in the UK in fairness. Alves is always great to watch, except against humpers like GSP and Fitch. Hathaway vs Browne should be good and there's a couple of others that should be FOTN contenders.
