I hope you have fun Mania, I know Holland will probably bore you with him trying to promote himself as the premier MMA person, but enjoy your time, and try not to fall asleep during the Bisping/Evans match.
Other than that. This card is awesome!
The Eilers/Arlovski fight was at UFC 53: Heavy Hitters.

Close enough. Thanks
I have been waiting for a show to happen in New Jersey, but decided not to go to this one because of the fight card. With my luck, that will prove to be a poor decision.
Having said that, I think the most interesting matchup is the Parysian vs. Chonan. I would have to give the standup advantage to Chonan, and possibly the submission game. But Parysian gets the takedown advantage.
I also hope Silva crushes Alexander. The UFC is a sport, not a shady fight club.
Anyone heard if this one will be on Spike instead of PPV?
good card, but whats this junk about dana white saying the winner of rashad-bisping breaks into the top 5 LHW? impossible. msybe evans fits as a long shot for number 5 if he wins
Is it me?.. or is this card not that thrilling?
I take that back, it’s just the main event that’s really not thrilling,,, most of the undercards look as good as many others
“Even though I’ll be in attendance it won’t stop DrubySunshine and the entire crack UFCmania team from delivering top-notch blow-by-blow, round-by-round commentary throughout the PPV telecast that starts at 10.pm. ET.”
I thouhgt it was MMAMANIA now?
The Edgar vs. Fisher fight is going to be a show stealer. It will be a war on the feet.
not really a great card, excited to see the outcome of edgar fischer fight. rooting for edgar though.
Is a good card, the UFC tried to get the LW championship belt on this card, but the sherk suspension messed it up. the main event is not that attractive, specially after bisping’s last fight, I really want Evans to destroy him.
This card is sould not be a ppv!
I found this video made right before Elite XC Uprising. It’s an interview with Joe Lauzon and I found out the guy he’s fighting at UFC 78 comes from Miletich Fighting System and is an impressive 18-0. The interview was done at BJ PENN’s GYM/Training Center in Hilo, Hawaii. Here’s the link:
http://www.bjpenn.com/learn/index.php?article_id=705&parent_id=503
PS: I’m disappointed this fight is not on the Main Card. I really hope Joe Lauzon wins. Not only do I like him as a fighter, but I want people up in the States to see that there are fighters that BJ PENN is working with that are really impressive( ie: Mike Aina who fought a hard battle with UFC and Pride veteran Nick Diaz.)
Not too excited about the main event (who is?), but the undercard looks very tasty. I’m very much looking forward to watching Alexander, Parisian and Fischer fight.
BTW, Ed Herman can kiss my a**. That turdbiscut belongs on the non-televised card, not Joe Lauzon…
The main event is resonible like it or not.
If you score the bisping vs hamill from a more technacal fight scoring bisping actually won with more striking. so whatever.
ok few things
1. this card is sick except for the main event
2. Ed Herman does not have a boring fight in him so please stop hating on him.. after he beats terrell(i hope) who is a tough test..its herman grove 2..been waiting
3. NEWGUYTHEGUN: i dont know that sort of scoring you are using…i have watched the fight 3 or 4 times and if it was in vegas hamill by unanimous.
4. Louzon on a card over herman vs.terrell lets be serious, let the kid win a fight in the UFC before hes over those guys.
5. hope bisping has to be carried out of the octagon (dont care for evans,,but seriously dont like bisping)

um Lauzon did win a fight in the UFC he beat Pulver
This is suprisingly a really really good card, it’s just the main event gives it a bad stamp. David Terrell is pretty good to, he should KILL Herman if there is not a crazy upset. Karo should win I think, a hard fought battle but I think he’ll get it.
Terrell looks to me like the next guy to work his way to the top for a new challenge for Anderson. I mean who else is there? I bet Terrel could make it to the 2nd round.

Sanchez was almost there, there was just the GSP, Hughes, BJ Penn and the TUF winner (Serra)… all in there ahead of Sanchez at the time. Now he’s lost a couple
I didn’t realize 78 was going to happen so soon. Forgot about Thanksgiving. It just seems like yesterday Silva gave Franklin a free nose job. Two Times! I’m excited to see Ryo Chonan vs. Karo Parisyan.
I want to see the Lytle Alves fight, i think it will be a good one.

Your record has nothing to do with your ranking! What’s Randy Couture, 15-8? And he’s #1 in the world. Take into consideration that even though the official decisions show different, everyone knows both these fighters are coming off losses. That compared with Rampage, Hendo, Dean of Mean, Iceman, Shogun, Silva, and Griffin and you think they’re in the top 5?
[quote comment=”202677″]Is it me?.. or is this card not that thrilling?[/quote]
As far as match-ups go, this card is actually great! Then again, I’m by no means a casual fan so the absence of big name draws &/or titles on the line is negligable to me. This card is showcasing some incredible fighters & world-class talents. There are definately potential future champions & top contenders peppered all over this one.
[quote comment=”202696″]not really a great card, excited to see the outcome of edgar fischer fight. rooting for edgar though.[/quote]
yeah a sleeper card..to a so/so one..this fight is not good for frankie..if he beats Spencer he is still no where a shot at the belt..and we all know with these two guys..it will be a war..I’m pulling for frankie..but if the ufc had a 140-145 pound division..no question Frankie would be the champ.
I guess I will be bugging some of the guys to order it.
Karo (Dont you dare Lose)
ur gonan say that if some1 becomes 16-0-0 or 16-0-1 they r not a top 5 fighter u must be crazy
It depends on the quality of fighters..if you sre 16-0 against people that are not considered to be good fighter..a ranked fighter..that alone shouldn’t put you in the top slots..ex: J-Lau is fighting Jason Reinhardt 18-0..but I never heard of him till this match up..i wouldn’t discredit his record as say his not tuf..but i wouldn’t rank in my top slots of his weight..cuz i don’t know who has he beatin.

Whoops. Still getting used to it myself!
I think there’s some good exciting fights on this card.
alexander-vs- silva is like king kong vs t rex
parisyean and chonan should be all about the mma skills
edgar and fisher all stand up
herman always exciting terrell hasn’t fought in a while but he was pretty explosive in his time
and I actually wouldn’t mind seeing the lytle-alves fight.
Every event I enjoy and I’m looking forward to this one the same.
[quote comment=”202845]
Yes, the lunatics will be running the asylum. Fortunately, Jesse Holland will not be among them. I have the (dis)pleasure of catching all the action alongside him come fight night.[/quote]
Don’t be fooled folks…the only reason he’s flying to Newark is to make sure I don’t get recruited by the competition…
Bisping over Evans by way of tko…no one seems to like this guy, but I’m a huge fan. Yeah, he had a bad fight against Hamill (he did deserve the decision), but I expect to see the old, aggressive Michael Bisping this time around. Evans is a strong fighter (and Bispings toughest test since winning TUF), so this should be a war. All that being said, I won’t be surprised if Bisping gets KO’d early.
Franky Edgar versus Spencer Fischer should be the fight of the night…any time these guys fight, their exciting as hell…
Gotta go with Alexander over Silva…Alexander throws absolute bombs…can’t wait till they put him up against a LHW stud and see how he does…
Herman over Terrel via submission…where did all this hate for Herman come from…the guys been nothing but exciting since his TUF experience…
Karo’s got his fight in the bag…
Would love to see Lauzon fight…give this guy time, he’ll own the LW belt…

Not a chance. $40 my friend! Even though its only worth no more than $20 in my eyes. But often times, those end up being the best events - like UFN 10 and the TUF 5 finale. But no way was I going to risk $1,000 just to find out.

So you are saying that if a fighter becomes 16-0-0 or 16-0-1 they should automatically be in the Top 5 of the division? LOLOLOL. Then why isn’t Jason Reinhardt ranked number 2 in the LW division? He is 18-0. You know why? Because you MUST consider quality of opposition. Looking at his record, I don’t know of a single person he fought. Nice spelling too, no wonder how you can come up with such logic.
Yo VM…are you on myspace?
as long as bisping gets his ass kicked i’ll be happy
Bisping-Evans is a good fight, though I don’t think it should be headlining a PPV. A Spike live event, maybe. The rest of the card, top to bottom, looks pretty solid. There should be a lot of quality fights here, even if they aren’t all huge names at this point.

I wonder if Gono will have a normal entrance from now on?
Personally I like this fight card, would be nice to see a title match, but I think the card makes for some exciting fights. Also I really like Bisping as a fighter, but I like Evans too. I hope Bisping wins but I won’t be disapointed if Rashad takes it. Should be a good night!!
[quote comment=”202916″]I wonder if Gono will have a normal entrance from now on?[/quote]
LOL, I was wondering the same thing last week, and thought to myself that I’ll need to comment on that, but it slipped my mind. His entrance will, of course, be nothing compared to his entrance in PRIDE, but I expect him to still do something. He is amongst the prelimanary fights, so chances are it won’t be televised, so I doubt the UFC would dump money into his entrance. For those that don’t know, Gono’s entrances were often times longer than the fights themselves and looked similar to what I’d imagine a Michael Jackson concert to be like back in the day.
For me the main event is a lose lose situation, but if I had to pick one I cant’t stand the most it would be Bisping. I hope he gets DESTROYED
I won’t buy this event!
this is a great event (apart from the main)
i dont get why karo has to fight chonan though…
who has he lost to? sanchez and george?
he deserves kos or fitch

I’ve always liked to watch Karo’s fights, but I admit I don’t know of or can’t remember seeing a Chonan fight.

I guess I’ll have to research him a little more
[quote comment=”202876″]as long as bisping gets his ass kicked i’ll be happy[/quote]
I don’t see how anything else could be possible - save the lucky punch.
My impression of Bisbing has been one of a second tier fighter. The biggest name he’s fought in my opinion has been Elvis.
Though I’m not a huge fan of Evans, I think he’s a full grade above “The Count” - and I see nothing but a long beating or a quick and devestating ending.
Though I sincerally hope he’s not permanently injured - I think this mismatch is whooping-to-be

I guess I’ll have to research him a little more[/quote]
“flying heel hook..he caught anderson silva with.”
[quote comment=”203015″][quote comment=”202994″]this is a great event (apart from the main)
i dont get why karo has to fight chonan though…
who has he lost to? sanchez and george?
he deserves kos or fitch[/quote]
Chonan has a submission win over Anderson Silva. This dude is no joke.[/quote]
i guess…
he only really loses against top competition, but cmon, that sub on anderson was (although sick) pretty lucky…
be interested to see if chonan makes weight. asian dudes dont usually like to cut
Who runs this site?? Has he even seen UFC 53? Arlovski didnt drop Eilers in RD.1 like you said, Eilers knee blew out, jesus the innacuracies are ridiculous! lol
i predict that if Houston Alexander wins in 2 weeks, he will fight the winner of the Liddell/Silva fight. winner of that fight gets title shot. anyone agree?
[quote comment=”202754″][quote comment=”202737″][quote comment=”202676″]good card, but whats this junk about dana white saying the winner of rashad-bisping breaks into the top 5 LHW? impossible. msybe evans fits as a long shot for number 5 if he wins[/quote]
ur gonan say that if some1 becomes 16-0-0 or 16-0-1 they r not a top 5 fighter u must be crazy
im actually suprised that Diego didnt get a title shot b4 fighting Kos because he deff deserved one and if he lost in the title fight then no big deal[/quote]
Sanchez was almost there, there was just the GSP, Hughes, BJ Penn and the TUF winner (Serra)… all in there ahead of Sanchez at the time. Now he’s lost a couple[/quote]
but sanchez was what 19-0 20-0 dont u think that deserved a title shot

Your record has nothing to do with your ranking! What’s Randy Couture, 15-8? And he’s #1 in the world. Take into consideration that even though the official decisions show different, everyone knows both these fighters are coming off losses. That compared with Rampage, Hendo, Dean of Mean, Iceman, Shogun, Silva, and Griffin and you think they’re in the top 5?[/quote]
i would say Iceman isnt in the top 5 anymore esp after 2 big losses

Not a chance. $40 my friend! Even though its only worth no more than $20 in my eyes. But often times, those end up being the best events - like UFN 10 and the TUF 5 finale. But no way was I going to risk $1,000 just to find out.

So you are saying that if a fighter becomes 16-0-0 or 16-0-1 they should automatically be in the Top 5 of the division? LOLOLOL. Then why isn’t Jason Reinhardt ranked number 2 in the LW division? He is 18-0. You know why? Because you MUST consider quality of opposition. Looking at his record, I don’t know of a single person he fought. Nice spelling too, no wonder how you can come up with such logic.[/quote]
but isnt this Reinharts 1st UFC match Bis and Evans r what 5-0 6-0 in the UFC

u can say the same thing about thsi season of TUF that 1 guy of Hughes team blew his knee out but technically it still counts as a KO or TKO

i dont because Dana said the winner of that fight gets into the top 10 not top 5
Mania, Jesse, Guys getting together before the fight?
Jesse, Taking the train up?
Is this dude talking to himself?

Bisping is 4-0 in the UFC. 3-1 if you ask me, but whatever, that’s another story. His opponents - not exactly top-tier.
1) Josh Haynes
2) Eric Schafer
3) Elvis Sinosic
4) Matt Hamill
Any of those 4 fighters can KO Fedor and still not be considered Top 5 in any division. If I had to name the 2 worst fighters in the UFC LHW division, I would answer with Josh Haynes and Elvis Sinosic. Ravishing Red is 1-2 in the UFC and I will say that I think he sucks until the day one of us dies. At the rate our 2 careers are going, I’d predict that he will die before me. Matt Hamill. I will not say anything bad amount Matt because I like everything I have seen from the kid since TUF. But Bisping did not WIN that fight. Maybe he didn’t lose, but he did not win. Has any popular fighter ever lost so many fans after a win? For Hamill, has any fighter gained so many fans after a loss?
Records mean NOTHING without considering the COMPETITION!
