You’ve got to be kidding me.
This latest announcement means that there are 12 fights booked for the UFC Fight Night 13 SpikeTV special on April 2 at the Broomfield Event Center in Broomfield. Colo.
The rumor is he’s taking on Jeff Cox (9-4), according to ProKarateWeekly.com.
Oh yeah … and Fightlinker’s plan to get this turned into a three hour broadcast apparently worked. Thanks to them and the readers here who made it happen.

6 hour card Sweet
He is another clown. Nate Diaz is fighting a beast like Pellegrino and Manny is fighting Jeff “WHO?’ Cox?
Looks like Diaz is following in his brothers foot steps and Manny is following his cousins (Karo) footsteps, Taking the easier fight!
Props to Diaz, for calling out the top competition, and then backing it up by accepting a fight agaionst Pellegrino. Win or Loose, Diaz gained much respect for stepping up!
Bisping take notesa, you are a 30 year old man still fighting Tuppaware…..Diaz is only 23 and he already wants to take on the world!
12 fights on one card has to be a UFC record. Those people in Denver are being given a hell of a treat.
What did the UFC give me and the rest of my Tri State brothers? Oh Yeah thats right….we got to see the MEGA MATCH between Bisping and Rashad! lol
Fair?
John,
I hear you man…that card (UFC 78) was hyped up to be more than what it was. The 2 main events should’ve been the undercards.
To me Manny’s fights are boring He gets good position and holds it. I know on his offical record he only went decision twice but on tuff he just held his opponents down.

UFC 78 DVD comes out Tuesday. I bet you it will sell about 8 copies. I dont even remember that event having any exciting undercards. The UFC came to the tri state area, gave us that crappy event….and since then there have been all amazing events….Show us the LOVE already!

Could u imagine the dry humping match that would be Manny vs. Sherk. It would be more soft porn then an actual fight. Manny singing in Armenian haunted my dreams for months after TUF.
Quick, start an email campaign for Spike to make the broadcast four hours long!

i don’t know if you know but one of Manny’s decision losses was a Dry humping match againt Sherk I almost killed myself watching it.

Now u r pushing it! The broadcast will already have to start at 7:00 pm because at 10:00 pm TUF is scheduled to air. A four hour broadcast would have to start at like 6:00 pm, and I dont see that happening.
Worst fight on the card.
mania do you no if this is on uk tv. the last one wasnt, so im guessing this one wont be on either
John…..
yeah, Bisping is such a joke, but he will still go on running his mouth…..how he beat Hammill and how he can beqt anyone in the MW division.
It is funny though most of the people he fights are now WW’s that cant even make it in smaller shows or 1 dimensional fighters or very out of shape(Rashad)
He wants to be like some boxers today. They have 40-0 record becasue everyone they fight is a joke

I’ve been as critical as anyone of Manny’s TUF dry humping wins, but to his credit he did slap a nasty submission on Nate Mohr very quickly in his last fight. In fact, I’ve personally imposed a moratorium on myself against any unflattering nicknames for Manny. Now if he goes out and gets another lackluster LnP decision then we shall see the return of “The British Prostitute.”
can this card get any more STACKED(for a UFN)?!! but who the hell is Jeff Cox?
lol @ sherk vs manny dryhumping.. ewww.
lol @ Jeff Cox’s strengths (on UFC website): Coaches, training partners, and a facility that are world class
lol @ James Irvin vs Houston Alexander
There is no way this card has 12 bouts on it Ill believe it when I see it.
Mania, can we create this orignal idea, in which we e-mail Spike TV, and we ask them to make this card a 4 hour event starting at 7:00 PM and Ending at 11:00 PM, because I do not want to see Frankie Edgar/Gray Maynard and Din Thomas/Josh Neer on the undercard in which we will never see on TV.
So, you think we can do that

YEAHHHHHHH!!!!!!! That’s my boy John, telling it how it is!!!!
I really can’t believe that they just bumped this event up to 12 fights. On paper, this card is PPV worthy. Sure, it doesn’t have any blockbuster PPV main event names, but it is filled with known fighters (Jeff “I Suck” Cox being the lone exception)

I believe that the last season of TUF, or one of the recent ones, started at 11 pm after a 3 hour UFN.

LOL, that is hilarious!!!
Does anybody know how many people actually wrote to the UFC for that extension?
I cant understand the bias towards Manny He proved himself time and time again on the show even beating Joe L who will be fighting in the Main event on April 2cnd but manny is on the undercard sounds backwards to me
Some of you need to watch some of his fights again he doesnt just lay on his oppenents he comes out like a ball of energy and is relentless in all positions and has a great submmision game.
Lets see here Nate Diaz tuff winner of a six figure contract is not in the main event, Manny runner up on tuff is on the undercard but Joe lauzon semi finalist loser from tuff is in the main event.
does anybody know whether Spike has on demand programming on their website? I know I’m going to working that night…

Actually I did not know that. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I can’t imagine how boring that must have been. Props for you for note sticking a shotgun down your throat while sitting through that match! lol

I love Diaz and I don’t like Manny, but don’t disrespect Karo man.
Do you even know who he has fought?????? He’s fought the best in his weight class. He’s fought more talented fighters than any Fitch, Koschek, or Diego Sanchez. Are you kidding me??? I can think of 3 big fighters in the division he hasn’t fought: Hughes, Penn, and Fitch.
The dude’s got 4 losses and you know who those were to?? GSP, Diego Sanchez, and 2 to Sean Sherk. Get your facts right before spouting off at the mouth about stuff you obviously don’t know about.
BEST FIGHT NIGHT CARD YET!!!!!!!

I think they usually replay them on the Saturday night following the event. At least, they did last time.

CoolHandChad: I am just lashing out at Karo not fighting Fitch. Karo has been fighting men since he was 16 years old…how could I not respect that. He has also fought some of the best fighters in the world. I am actually a fan of Karo.
The only bad things I can say about karo are:
-He hasnt finished fights in a while(but they are usually exciting decision wins, with the exception of the Ryo Chonan fight)
-I did not like the whole “you know who the F I am” comment he made to Nate Diaz on Tuf
-I wish he were fighting Fitch instead of alves.
I should have chosen my words more carefully because I do not want to give the impression that I am not a Karo fan because I am…not to mention the fact that he is still soooo young, makes him that much better. All in All I have been a big fan of Karo’s, a better way to express myself would be, I dont think that this was one of Karo’s better years.
COOL HAND CHAD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Umm ill give Karo respect, when he fights someone in the fucking prime bro.
He fought GSP before people knew he was a MONSTER
He fought Shierk outside the Octagon, so probably had no say in who he was gonna fight.
He fought Sanchez before he has proven himself as a threat in the welter wieght division.
So dont tell me he has fought anyone tough recently!!!!!
Karo is a Ducker, thats it thats all so trying to be all like this smart ass and putting down anothers comment, because obviously your this big expert (bullshit) Get YOUR facts right,and realize THAT ANYONE WHO IS CONSIDERED A THREAT TO KARO’S WINNING STREAK, HE WILL NOT FIGHT. PERIOD
Unreal, I was excited 2 weeks ago when I picked up tickets for this event, now it’s the biggest show (time-wise)ever. What a sweet score, I freak’n pysched and my honey is crawling out of her skin waiting for April.
how about brock lenar versus kimbo slice? that what i want to see.

Manny called out Nate but Nate didn’t want to fight him, Same situation as Finch and Karo, I don’t hear anyone calling Nate a pussy, and Karo get all negative comments explain me how is this any diffrent. Oh yeah Nate and Finch are the UFC golden boys and nothing they do is considered as wrong.

I totally agree with everything.
Fitch/Karo would be a dream match.
He hasn’t finished fights, but the fights are usually bangers ex. Chonan.
I hated the bullshit on TUF. Big Nate Diaz supporter.
Karo v. Fitch will happen eventually. They’re too young, barring they don’t leave UFC, I think it will happen eventually. Sucks it isn’t happening sooner rather than later.

Josh:
Diego Sanchez wasn’t a proven threat at welter weight when they fought?? Come on. Diego had four UFC fights under his belt going into that fight. Two of which didn’t go past the 2nd minute of the 2nd round. A submission choke and a TKO. The other two were dominating unanimous decisions. Are you kidding me? That’s not a proven threat? Not including all the 2 round tuf bouts. He was proven. And he further proved it by beating Karo and go on to knock out Joe Riggs in the 1st.
What does having any say in who he fights have anything to do with making him a poor fighter? He fought Sherk, regardless of choice, he fought him.
He’s a proven fighter. He proves it fight after fight, regardless of you Fitch bandwagons (and I fucking love Fitch, from back to the Shooto USA fight with Shonie Carter) hating on him. Get my facts straight. Ha Ha Ha! How can you sit there and say that Ryo Chonan and Josh Burkman aren’t worthy fighters? He’s gotta work his way up. They’re giving him the 2nd tier guys and he’s fighting them…and winning. The top tier guys, GSP, Hughes, Serra (as much as I hate to say it), and until his last 2 fights BJ Penn, were all fighting each other. Fitch is fighting no one significantly better than Karo is fighting.
Ha, never mind.
Agree to disagree.

Thats exactly why I lOVE and Praise NATE. While manny called him out, Nate didnt duck him for an easier fight…He took a much harder fight…U gotta respect that! Nate and Fiotch get props because they want to test themselves against the Best….. I cant say that about all fighters.!
just watch they will bump a fight or two and move them to may and june cards

Yeah Finch got a real tough fight ahead of him, and Nate haven’t fought anyone of significance yet and we will see his true skills come April. He is finally fighting someone that is I consider a challenge and he is going to TKO him then what would you say………….. I imagine you will jump in someone else’s bandwagon and keep bashing Manny why dislike him he is 5′5″ and taking on someone who is 6′4″ obviosly he will have to take him down and pound him so Cox can not take advantage of his reach you call it boring I call it inspiration to all undersized people. Manny aint ducking anyone after his last fight he said we will fight anyone they throw in front of him he even said he would love to fight Sherk again I think all the lightweight besides BJ have little chance of taking on Sherk. I don’t see Nate ever calling out Sherk
Is this Jeffrey Cox (9-4) or Jeff Cox(0-2,1 no contest)???
Manny was kicking Diaz’s bitch ass… Maybe all you shit talkers forgot that. Diaz never beat him. Manny beat himself with a reoccurring shoulder injury. When Diaz gets the balls to fight Manny again, Manny is going to beat the shit out of him.
You think Manny’s fights are so boring but you all are obviously just a bunch of untrained fighters. Manny’s fights are very technical and pretty fun to watch if you have any idea what is going on….
Do any of you fight? Or do you just get on here and try to run people down. No i know you don’t fight. because the poeple that fight have brespect for fighters. And know what it takes to get in the cage and throw down. not write on here.
Karo is STILL the shit and don’t forget all you puny brains need a reality check karo got manny on the show and because of karo manny is fighting now!! Karo is the most talented fighter in the WW he always has tougher competition than manny lol!!
Karo is the SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Parisyan is VERY talented and that JUDO no one has adopted like karo…He proved that judo belongs in MMA and his been fighting since the age of 14 with grown ass man WHO WOULND’T RESPECT THAT!!!!! only ignorante idiots who dont fight lol or know anything about fighting!! No wlterwight has stepted into the octogan at the age of 14 an fighting with 22 year olds…So some of you dummys need to SHUT THE HELL UP with you lame pathetic comments!!!! Rest my case =)
