    Worst UFC PPV main event since Franklin versus Okami.

    The UFC sometimes do strange matchmaking. Looks like Josh Koscheck Vs. Paulo Thiago (some newcomer) will be added to the card. Nice way to beef up the card. :roll:

    Yeah its not so bad when you look at it that way, but when your looking to fill out a 20,000 capacity arena it is a joke. If they wanted to do a fight night show they should have held it at a much smaller venue or at the very least reduce the ticket prices. It sucks for the people who have already brought tickets and the people who were looking to go.

    Joe Stevenson has lost to Josh Neer and Kenny Florian in recent years.He does not deserve to be in the main event

    Sanchez will win and I doubt it'll be the main event when all is said and done. Doesn't matter though, because it's FREE. The always do half assed cards in the UK because they know they're not getting any of the PPV cash. Just pretend it's UFN and enjoy.

    Here are 3 other fights for the card which have been confirmed:

    Dan Hardy Vs. Rory Markham
    Demian Maia Vs. Chael Sonnen (What does Maia gain by beating Sonnen?) :patsch
    Junior Dos Santos Vs. Stefan Struve (currently listed as a prelim fight)


    The Josh Koscheck vs. Paulo Thiago and Wilson Gouveia vs. Nate Marquardt fights haven't been confirmed yet but they will both probably be on the main card.

    I'm glad Dan Hardy is fighting again. It's nice to have another British fighter in the UFC. After a good win over Gono I'll be expecting him to build on it.

    Why not ? Sonnen is a contender he just easily defeated Paulo Filho the guy who for years everyone claimed and only god knows why would beat Franklin,Henderson and Silva. This is a solid card for free although it could be better.

    Sonnen only won the 2nd fight because Filho didn't do anything. Regardless of if you think he is overated/overhyped (I also always thought he was too) if Filho was right mentally he would have won. After 4 UFC wins they need to put Maia in with other guys closing in on a title shot. Maia will sub Sonnen easily.
