    Its a mystery but probably linked to television politics in America. Given that is also the start of the hockey season in America, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the weekend where Versus finally relaunches as NBC Sports.

    Renan Barao vs. Brad Pickett co-headlines? I've heard of Pickett but who the **** is Barao? Seriously, this is a co-main event? On a decent card it's barely on the PPV.

    Might be one of the worst UFC cards on paper in a long time. They'll come to fight but bar a few guys I might as well watch a BAMMA card with loads of British names who also come to fight.

    As I said, Im all for getting British guys on the undercard. But one fight which isnt even for the top contender spot (imo) just doesnt cut it as a main

    Good on you Brits for speaking out about this bull****. Rogan can insult you all he wants, but fact remains the UFC have for a long time got away with throwing any old **** at the UK while charging a fortune for tickets. One of the most shamelessly greedy companies ive ever seen

    Sad thing is it's going to sell out regardless Bouche, so voicing our objections will be in vain and the fans who genuinely love this sport and arent mugs who dont understand what they are watching get called ''whiney bitches'' by one of the Commentators. Might save my money and go and heckle Rogan when he does a stand up show

    Mark Scanlon and terry etim are ones to watch. Scanlon lost on his debut in a cracking fight against a class german

    That German is on the card - Pascal 'Panzer' Krauss.

    Another 3 matches rumoured for UFC 138:

    Vaughan Lee vs. Chris Cariaso
    Philip De Fries vs. Oli Thompson
    Che Mills vs. Chris Cope

    Another fight or two and that's the event line-up complete. Unless they really pull something exciting out of the bag, I won't be getting tickets.

    What is this Cage Rage!

    Horrible work from UFC EVEN if they do turn out to be exciting cards. Don't call it a UFC card, just call it Fight Night or something and we'll expect less.

    You will have my undying admiration if you do so. I've never seen such an unfunny **** make a living off being supposedly "funny". UFC should scrap his ass and bring Bas Rutten in.
