Rogan towing that company line. It's funny how he gets all objective when Bas Rutten is on his show. Then again probably the weed.
Just for argument's sake Stoo - the last television show they did from an arena was Ultimate Fight Night 24 in Seattle. That was headlined by Davis vs. Ortiz and then got changed to Davis vs. Little Nog. I don't see how this is worse than either of those fights - particularly as Munoz vs Leben should be a good fight.
Besides the point. Put it this way, if we had to order this via PPV, Id probably skip this one, let alone buy a ticket and travel costs and other general expenses ect
The following fights have been confirmed on the UFC website. Chris Leben vs. Mark Muñoz Thiago Alves vs. Papy Abedi Brad Pickett vs. Renan Barão Mark Scanlon vs. James Head Michihiro Omigawa vs. Jason Young Terry Etim vs. Edward Faaloloto Paul Taylor vs. Anthony Njokuani I'm guessing there will be three or four more fights still to be announced, hoping for some big names.
Its a fair point but he had a big gap in his career. The Franklin fight was catch weight but what about the Lindland win and a couple before that.
Is it an awesome card ? No but settle the **** down its going to be on Spike TV like every single UK event is. Leben vs Munoz could have title implications. Munoz has been tearing it up as a Middleweight and with this win he could very well be next in line and even with Leben hes won some big fights recently another 1 here puts him in serious contention. Both are very powerful and dangerous guys who usually put on good fights. Solid main event for a free show better then something like Akiyama vs Bisping. Brad Pickett vs Renan Barao is also a great fight. Alot of people might not know who they are but Pickett has defeat Demtrius Johnson (whos getting the next shot at Cruz) is 3-1 in the WEC/UFC and his only loss was a hell of an effort vs Scott Jorgenson. Barao is on an amazing 26 fight win streak and 3 of those where in Zuffa companies. Although Faber-Bowles probably gets the next title shot the winner if this fight is right there knocking on the door as well. Im not all that exicted about the opponets but you got Thiago Alves and John Hathaway each fighting on the card and I always like seeing those 2 in action. Plus a fight which better make the main card that has the potential to be FOTY is Paul Taylor vs Anthony Njokuani.
I bet it's ridiculously expensive and hard to get tickets. Any advis (other than hope) to those that have attended events over here before, thanks in advance to anyone that does :good
Now I read that Dominick Cruz is going to defend his title in October... at a 'UFC Live' event! That is ****ing bull****. Why is a title fight not on a main numbered UFC event when it's in the same month?!
