Anyone know why hundreds of people (mostly men) are queuing up around the street and down into an alley? (aussie.zone)

@Eyekaytee @Nath Yeah, govt keeps opening its wallet to bring entertainment and sports over.Personally, I don't like them funding UFC, and advertising it on the bridge they promised would never be used for advertising. But I read it's to try and sway the "bogan vote".

    I was a huge WWF fan back in the 90's when I was a kid right up until about 2003, so end of high school and then started watching UFC when Rhonda Rousey was fighting Holm back in 2015

    But over the last few years have stopped watching when President Dickhead started to show up at every event and sitting in the front row and hearing and seeing fighters simp for him๐Ÿคฎ

    I've since moved onto the NRL and support the Dolphins, hopefully the Perth Bears give Perth some more (Australian) entertainment options

    @Eyekaytee Bears could be a good thing. Obvs once people get over the name.

    Bears? Yeah, that's a bit 19th century, isn't it? We're no longer English immigrants trying to bring the familiar from Europe with us to a new land. Surely we could go with a WA animal. Perth Dugites?

    Hell, I'd rather Quokkas than Bears. Probably our most famous animal at this point.
