UFC 149 tickets went on presale Thursday and Friday this week (and were quickly snapped up), and it’s anticipated that the general release set for Saturday, May 5th will also sell out quickly. It’s one of the hottest tickets in Canada this summer, and oddsmakers have weighed in on the title match between defending champion Jose Aldo and challenger Erik Koch. The Brazilian is the heavy favorite to defend his featherweight title at -385 odds. However, Koch is an impressive 13-1 in his career, so it remains to be seen whether he can pull off the upset in Calgary.

While fans in the National Hockey League have been known to throw all sorts of things on the ice at games (think Detroit’s octopus toss, Nashville’s catfish, Toronto waffles…..you get the point).
The list got a little livelier on Monday at Ewood Park, home of the Blackburn Rovers football club. Fans irate with the club’s owners – Indian chicken processor Venky’s – tossed a live, flag-adorned chicken onto the pitch during a match between Blackburn and Wigan Athletic. Play was stopped momentarily as the chicken strutted around the pitch until two players eventually apprehended the bird.
So what has the fans crying “fowl”? Blackburn has had a poor season that will relegate them from the Premier League, which has been blamed on a slew of bad signings and mismanagement by ownership.
What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen fans do at a sports event? Or perhaps more importantly, how do you sneak a live chicken past security?!?
While we don’t encourage you to toss things on the playing surface (lest you get ushered out), you can get tickets through ShowTimeTickets.com and see what being at the big game is all about!
For one of the hottest events in Canada this year, UFC 149 Calgary sure knows how to make headlines even before the first ticket is officially sold.
UFC 149 tickets don’t go on sale til late next week and the official lineup hasn’t been finalized yet, but the fight card for UFC 149 in Calgary got another shakeup this week when it was announced that current light heavyweight champion Jon “Bones” Jones would not face challenger Dan Henderson at UFC 149, despite UFC President Dana White penning the bout for Calgary a few weeks ago. In place of the Jones/Henderson bout will instead be the original headline fight between featherweight champ Jose Aldo and Erik Koch.
