He just got hurt. Boetsch is the replacement.

Man…you know it’s a great card when Clay Guida’s fight is the 4th fight listed on the under card!!

yeeahahh that news just made my day!

Great news!

I’m glad we’re definitely getting the televised fights that we are getting. Hopefully a couple of them end quick so we can get a couple of those awesome undercard fights on TV!

how come they will show 6 fights on the free SPIKE show but when I pay 50 bucks they only for sure show 5?……..weak

Great bill, wish I could watch ALL of it.

It’s because there aren’t any title fights on the fight night card. They have to allow for the possibility that every fight they guarantee will go to a decision, and with title fights that’s an extra two rounds. Assuming that some of the main card fights end early (and there are some quick fights on the undercard) we should get to see 1 or 2 of them.

What no love for those who got Spike to make this a three hour broadcast instead of two?

There’s no title fight, so all 6 are only 3 rounds each. They can squeeze in an extra fight when thy don’t have to work around a 5 round contest.

Good to see that Frankie Edgar is back on the main card. I couldn’t understand how a top-five lightweight managed to get himself on the undercard.

some people are never happy

I hope Rumble Johnson kicks Tommy “Lil Hughes” Speer all the way to Utah. He’ll probably get humped for 15 minutes though.

they better make sure, nates locker room is on the other side of karos locker room,

I seriously doubt that they are still at odds with eachother though. Because there is nothing but respect between karo and nick so Im sure that trancended to nate.

clay deserves to be on the main card he always puts on a great fight, and i hope they televise the din fight too.

I love the UFC lightweight division right now. So many great fighters and so many great fights. This should be a fantastic card.

Just think about the 155 lb. winners from the nights fights meeting up for a PPV a few months. Sweet!

Now this is a card right here.

this is the best fight night card I’ve ever seen. The best thing about it for dana is that none of them will make over $25000. I cant believe he gets away with that.

What a treat for loyal UFC fans this will be. Kinda strange that with a card this stacked, Florian vs. Lauzon is the main event though. I suppose they are just planting the ‘KenFlo vs Penn/Sherk winner’ seed though. At any rate, should be a great show.

so do you have a tinfoil suit to go with the matching hat?

i hope clays fight is shown first on the undercards. he is always exciting. also i think spencer/aurilleo could be the darkhorse fight of the night.

HFS. This lineup rocks, I love the UFC!

Well I don’t see most (not all) of thm making better elsewhere so quit ragging on DANA. He gave a lot of these guys a chance to make names for themselves. Quit with the hating already.

I have been bashing UFC 78 validation for a long time. Netflix just sent me the DVD and I watched the whole event. I will tell u one thing….that event features some of the best untelevised fights I have ever seen take place in the UFC.

Tamdon McCrory vs. Akahiro Gono was a great match
Joe Lauzon had a very quick but exciting win over Reinhardt
Marcus Aurelio vs. Caudillo was awesome

Tiago Alves vs. Chris Lytle is a MUST see fight. That fight was on its way to being a fight of the year candidate until the idiot doctor prematurely stopped the fight for no reason.

UFC 78 Validation was a terrible pay per view, but the dvd is worth buying because of the spectacular undercard fights. Also Bisping did much better vs. Rashad then I gave him credit for.

Trust me…..WATCH those undercard fights! Also at some point in time the UFC has to give us Lytle vs. Alves II….throw it on a free UFN event because that fight was amazing!

I am going to have to agree with Rogan, forget Jardine, Alves has the most devestating leg kicks in all of mma!

Yo Mania,

I think you should have Mr.NC-17 put BJ PENN in the top friends list on myspace. I know he dislikes Penn, but common he’s a champion. I don’t mean to sound like a whiner, but it ain’t right.

who cares about csi, there all reruns anyway. watch the most stacked ufn there is every ganna be.

BY far the sickest fight night ever. Really looking forward to seeing boetsch again. dude is a powerhouse. some real sweet matchups cant wait.

how can u talk trash about dana???if it wasnt for dana ufc would stil not draw anything and it wouldnt be close to what it is 2day u prolly blame him for that bum randy being gone…i say keep doin what ur doin dana,,,the only thing dana does thats wrong is giveing over-rated chuck fights he doesnt deserve

This is gonna be an awesome fight night. I hope they show the Thomas/Neer fight. That looks like it could be a good match .

“Chuckisover-rated” is over-rated.

How good of a fight is the Din Thomas - Josh Neer fight going to be ? I think that the UFC will air that fight considering the Houston Alexander / Jarmes Irvin fight will DEFINITLY end early. We all know Houston hits hard and Rampage has gone on record a few months back as saying Irvin is the hardest guy he has ever been hit by (training) at 205lbs.

Thomas was a top 5 lighweight before his loss to Florian and Neer was a tough bastard at 170, this should make fireworks.

I’m really looking forward to the clash of the wreslters in Frankie Edgar/Gray Manyard. I really hope Frankie can take it to him. I also hope the Houstan/Irvin fight lives up, don’t really care who wins that one.

And man, just as hard to call as Hendo/Silva is the Joe/Kenny fight, I have no idea, changed my mind back adn forth 100 times already.

Guida should be on TV. No one gives a better performance than him. I’d rather see this fight than #3 or #5 above.

The Edgar/Maynard fight is the swing bout so its not guarenteed a spot on the televised portion but will most likely be shown. Hopefully!

how do u manage to turn half your comments into talking about chuck, im sure you have posted it before, but why is he so overrated? was it the couture, tito, bablu fights, or wandy, or what?? just curious. i am nut an iceman nuthugger

6 guaranteed awesome fights with the possibility of some of them ending early to make way for spectacular undercard fights? I’ll take it! 2008 is gonna be a great year for the UFC.

hope some of the fights end early so we can see most of the card. if not ill just wait till the next day and download the prelims i guess. great card and looking better then a PPV or 2 from last year.

Kevin Kelly: I agree. I have always been a fan of both Din and Neer. Din is ultra exciting and Neer is just a WARRIOR. I will never forget what Melvin was doing to him, and how he came back and won that fight.

I hope they find away to televise this fight. Houston/Irving will end quickly, but we all know Karo vs. Alves is going to a decision that ALVES WILL WIN!!!! Edgar vs. Maynard might take some time as well.

Yeah, trying to analyze the Lauzon vs. Florian fight will just drive you crazy. Too hard to call. Florian is the real deal, very skilled and poised, as for Joe, he is just a freakin ANIMAL….. Joe will be the underdog and I feel he is worth a wager on him!

I was the biggest PRIDE fan out there, but I never actually ordered a PRIDE event on pay per view…. I just collected the ’sCan anyone who has purchased a PRIDE event on pay per view tell me how many fights they actually aired?

I would say that Din Thomas vs Josh Neer is the best fight on the undercard.

Everybody loves a Clay Guida fight, but seriously, who is Sammy Schiavo? I google him and I can’t even find his record.

I always enjoy watching a Spencer Fisher fight, wich the lone exception of his previous performance against Frankie Edgar where it looked like he didn’t even know that wrestling was apart of mma. Marcus Aurelio really hasn’t been doing much for me lately. He looked very lackluster against Guida, and I am still convinced that one of the judges somehow got the two fighters mixed up with each other because there is NO WAY that that fight was a split decision. Clay clearly won all 3 rounds, as 2 of the judges saw it.

VM: U have to see the undercard fights on UFC 78 validation….they were all amazing. We should have went to the event because the undercard was very worthy. As for Aurelio, he looked great against luke Claudillo (trains Rashad and that Camp). Not that Cluadillo is some big name fighter but at least Aurelio put on an exciting fight.

Akahiro Gono vs. Tamden McCrory was awesome, as was Joe Lauzon’s destruction of reinhardt!

Best undewrcard fight ever: Tiago Alves vs. Chris Lytle

Didn’t the last UFN or the TUF 6 Finale have 8 fights shown? I can’t remember which it was, but they have been showing more fights as of late. Right now I am just hoping that the UFN isn’t presented by some cheesy movie that we will have to watch a 10 minute preview and then listen to Rogan interview the star of the movie. That always takes away one full fight.

Very close fight to call, but since Florian has been in there with some of the best at 155 he has the experience advantage for sure even though he hasn’t had that many mma fights, they have basically all been in the UFC. Like John said, Lauzon is an animal. Florian hung in there with Sherk for 5 rounds. Lauzon clipped Pulver with a hook and put him to sleep. I really wish that we got to see the Florian/Din Thomas fight play out. That would have been a great indicator of where Kenny’s skills are at, obviously since it was his most recent fight… I think that Kenny’s Mark DeLagratti Muay Thai skills will be the deciding factor in this fight. Kenny is the more skilled BJJ fighter, but Joe has been training with BJ Penn, so that should be neutralized. I wouldn’t be surprised if this fight ended by ref stoppaged due to a Kenny FloBow.

John, I believe that they always televised all of the fights. I had only actually ordered a couple of the PPV’s and I know for sure that for PRIDE 33 they aired all of the fights. I LOVED it, there was none of the stupid BS inbetween fights. They had their opening ceremonies that gets you PUMPED up and then the fights start and its non stop action from there. Plus, you can never forget about the female announcer that announces the fighters as they come down to the ring, and then there was the master pimp of all of mma.

Out of those fights, the Aurelio fight is the only one that I haven’t seen. The other 3 all made their way to YouTube or dailymotion.

VM: Do u remember how long the Pride pay per view telecast lasted. The UFC has a 3 hour slot, I would guess PRIDE pay per views were longer. I ask because eventually I would love to see the UFC start airing the entire program but thats probably just wishful thinking.

As for the Aurelio fight, he unleashed a nasty ground n pound on Claudillo, that fight was stopped prematurely but at least Aurelio looked good for once in the UFC.

PRIDE 33 was less than 3 hours, I believe. It was fight after fight after fight. None of the BS that we get with the UFC. I mean seriously, how many clips of the black and white interviews are we going to see over and over again of Hendo and Silva during the PPV before the bell to the main event actually rings (I know there’s no bell, but there isn’t even a Big John to say “lets get it on”, so I didn’t know what to put)

So Pride managed to broadcast all the fights on the card in less then 3 hours? WOW…they UFC really needs to cutt out all the BS interview clips. Those black and white clips should be used as a marketing tool to get people to purchase the event. Why air them during the pay per view Broadcast, if you are watching the broadcast then you obvilusly already purchased it and probably have seen those clips endless amounts of time. I pay for the fights, not the clips, not Rogan….Just the fights

Not saying that PRIDE was better then the UFC, but the Since purchasing PRIDE the UFC could have used some of their production techniques and other things that made PRIDE succesfull. All they did by purchasing Pride was get about 25% of PRIDE fighters in the UFC.

The UFC should have combined the great aspects of Pride with the Great aspects of the UFC and created an even better product.

damn, i want to see all these fights. i loved boetsch’s last fight, but i would rather see clay guida. i mean, come on! he was kicking undefeated roger huerta’s ass in the main event of a live ufc event. he got caught and ruined my day, but watever.
