I was one of these guys who was hoping for a great fight card, when i heard liddle and lesnar were going to be fighting. When lesnar never got signed to the card i was upset, then liddle got hurt but to be fair nothing anyome could have done. and i posted comments saying that it was going to be a crap event with nobody’s.

But iam eating my words there are some really exiting fights and big name fighter i feel a few wars in ufc85

ufc you have renewed my faith any time you come to england hopefully with liddle next time i will be there.

i have paid £400 for my trip from Newcastle

so excited if any want wants to comment on any of the fights will be glad been looking for a fan to talk to, girlfriend is getting bored of me going on now lol

What about the line up for 86 aswell, I’m very disapointed in the UFC for not delivering on this event. I bought my ticket to see Chuck batter Evans. But now I wont see that and the other fights so far are not worth my money. Bisbing ain’t gonna be fighting as he has only just got back home and Tito is still to fight so that aint gonna happen either. There are plenty of big names ot there, Dana sort it out and get them to London…

Mike: I just think people like to say that they wont buy the event when its this far away. I have said that a few times about a couple different events, but the week of the event, I start getting hype and then the Countdown show pumps me up even more, and come the saturday morning of the event, as soon as i wake up i roll over and end up ordering the event. So…..regardless of what most people on this site say and what the card is, most of us end up purchasing every pay per view anyway.

I purchased Bisping vs. Rashad at UFC 78, which means I will pretty much order any event that the UFC is selling.

Lucky for Leben than, he is a GREAT chance at KO’ing Bisping. But you are right, he can not win a decision over there. At least Leben doesn’t have to worry about getting KO’d though, and he is somehow able to maintain his own KO power even toward the end of the 3rd round of a slugfest.

Posts are taking about a half hour to go through, so I do not know if this got posted… I said something along the lines of:

The UFC has already booked Bisping in a PPV Main Event. He fought Evans ins the Main Event of a PPV in New Jersey of all places. So if the UFC brass is willing to do that, why wouldn’t they book Bisping vs Leben as the Main Event in England? Rashad and Leben are both stars from the early TUF days, and actually, I think Leben has more fans than Rashad. With Leben, people either love him or hate him. Either way, you have an opinion about him (if you hate him, you are rooting for him to get KO’d). On the other hand, Rashad Evans, a lot of people could simply care less about him and have a difficult time staying awake during his fights. Rashad does not have an exciting, crowd pleasing style. Leben does.

No offense TonyDrip, this is generalization - but I am just surprised at how many “devote fans” that post here every single day would not pay for a PPV. A sport that takes place about once a month, and people are on the computer talking about it everyday. Then the event comes and they charge money for it, and some “devote fans” don’t order it.

Is it reall that difficult to have 3 friends come over, and everyone pays $10? Of course, your frinds may not like the UFC, but just about anyone that I had watch it that hadn’t already, loves it as well.

Rashad vs Bisping was a Main Event in New Jersey.

ONLY because of that, I can understand (from the UFC’s point of view) to have Bisping vs Leben be the Main Event in England. It sucks for most fans…
