UFC 93 tickets for the "Franklin vs. Henderson," which is slated for The O2 in Dublin, Ireland, on January 17, will go on sale to the general public on Tuesday, October 21 at 9 a.m. local time.
UFC Fight Club members and UFC Newsletter subscribers, naturally, will be able to scoop of tickets prior to them being available for public consumption.
This is the first-ever show for the promotion in Dublin, as well as the first major event of the 2009 fight campaign, which will be headlined by two marquee light heavyweight match ups.
Rich "Ace" Franklin (24-3) and Dan "Hollywood" Henderson (23-7) — two of the world’s most elite 205-pound fighters — will duke it out in the main event. And Brazilian powerhouse Mauricio "Shogun" Rua will return and look to get back in the win column as he takes on UFC pioneer Mark "The Hammer" Coleman.
Here is the UFC 93 tickets sales schedule (all times are local):
UFC Fight Club presale: Friday, October 17 at 9 a.m.
UFC Newsletter presale: Sunday, October 19 at 9 a.m.
General tickets sale: Tuesday, October 21 at 9 a.m.
UFC 93 tickets can be purchased through StubHub.com (Note: StubHub often has seats available even if the event is "sold out"). It will also likely be available on pay-per-view (PPV) for $44.95 on fight night -- a free Spike TV broadcast does not appear to be in the cards at this time.

Frankling will beat Hendo, and Shogun is going to KO Coleman.

Well what if grampa Coleman wins and pulls the upset? You will never know…As for the main event of the evening, Hendo will craftily outpoint Ace Ventura in this one. The Greco-Roman clinch is just way too deadly for Franklin.

My prediction is that Coleman will pull out if this fight! Joe Silva better have a back up opponent for Shogun.
Shogun vs. Mendes as a back up?

Rua would beat grampa Coleman to a pulp…As for Franklin, the Greco-Roman clinch will just spell trouble for him…Good luck!

Just can’t get excited for this card even though Shogun is one of my favorite fighters. Franklin was poor last time he fought in Ireland and Coleman should not be fighting anymore, he’ll be 44 when this fight takes place, not fought in over 2 years, fought only 7 times in over 7 years and is 3-4 in those fights.
I’ll be watching on TV even though it’s only a 3 hour drive away.

Im excited about Henderson vs Franklin n i really hope Dan wins but i think that Rich is just to well rounded, but anything can happen in MMA except Cote beating Anderson Silva lol
