aanyone know if this might be anderson vs chuck
Chuck is fighting silva,and chuck is gonna woop his ass….
Chucks gonna get flattens by Anderson “The Spider” Silva! Liddels old and garbage now my fuighter kiked his ass “the dean of mean” Keith Jardine!!
Liddell will not be fighting silva next.. in June he is probable to fight randy couture..
Liddell is not Garbage. He may be about 40, but he is a great fighter who got beat by a better fight in Rashad Evans. Keith Jardine got KTFO viciously by Wand. does that mean that Jardine is Garbage? you need to think about what you say on here.
IVE SEEN BETTER WEC CARDS!!!
i havent.
this is turning out pretty damn good, especially as a free spike card.
i heard anderson silva v. chael sonnen
chuck would knock anderson silvas ass out in style!!! silva is not ready for the big boys yet
i’ve heard that its anderson vs chuck but it hasnt been made official by ufc.com yet
i’ve heard that its anderson vs chuck but it hasnt been made official by ufc.com yet
I have also heard rumors that Chuck wants to rematch Jardine, honestly i think it would be the best fight for Chuck after getting knocked out by Sugar Evans. It’s a chance for Chuck to avenge a loss and Jardine is coming off a win….
Its a big risk for anyone to buy tickets for this without any fights announced
they dont sell tickets before they can book the main event
i think tickets are on sale already but with no fights added yet but 2 you are paying for something u don’t see yet
Tickets have been on sale for about 2 weeks. Anderson silva vs ??? still sells tickets.
Not in California , where are you from ?
they have sold 5000 tickets already, i have myn, i hope i didnt waste my money lol!!
looks like u have
I don’t think so. This may not have a HUGE main event or two medium-high co main events, but this is a pretty solid card, as long as its free on Spike.
I’m very interested in.. well… ALL of the main card matchups.
I pick
Diego by tapout to strikes in 2
Markham by tko in 3
Maia by submission in 2
Gouveia by KO
Kos by tko
sorry mason, pissed your cash away! sell them on ebay or stubhub and get your dough back
C-one I am from England which will explain why!
enjoy, hope you see a good KO .
HA HA HA CHUCK BEAT SILVA THATS THE BEST ONE IVE HEARD SILVA WILL HAVE BELTS IN M/W AND L/H/W THIS YEAR NO1 COMES CLOSE
i am shocked that not even a co main event has been annouced or anything in that matter
No Chuck and Anderson Are not fighting in this Card. I know this cause i train with anderson and he is not ready. Hopefully in ufc 96 he’ll be up ad ready to do sum Demolishing! I say once again
ANDERSON SILVA IS NOT GOING TO BE ON THIS CARD! PERIOD.
Anderson has already told the UFC he won’t be ready.
tell anderson I said what’s up. i would like to see the phenom take anderson on after the last affliction card. He looked real good knocking out matt lindland.
dos santos might be on the card
Justin Buchholz will stomp his ass, UF Rocks, GO JUSTIN!!!!
this is a shiddy card glad its free.
yeah because I’m sure you pay for the other cards.
Yay, I spent £200 on ticket for this crappy event!!!!!!! That’s the last time I get a ticket before I know what the main event is!!!! The only reason the tickets aren’t going on ebay is:-
a) No one will buy them (UFC must be insane to think this event will sell out!!!)
and
b) I’ve never been to a UFC event so amazingly I’m still kinda looking forward to this still!!!!
Apparently 4000 Brits bought tickets on the rumour that Anderson Silva was going to fight on the card!! I wonder if the UFC started that rumour?!?!?!?!?!
Ive been to all uk events last year,and i was in Atlanta for the chuck/rashad fight.I just got back from the Dublin event,remember how people said that was a piss-poor card,trust me,it was fuqin unreal.I can gaurantee,you will not be disappointed just because it doesnt have any title fight or superstar names,I personally cannot wait for this event,the atmosphere at any of the events is second to none,you will not be disappointed.
Yeah I bought tickets on those rumours to…da feckers. Anyone want 2 floor seat tickets?
First of all, Chuck is not washed up! he still has at least 3 good fights left in him. and good fights mean fights not against people that would just tear him apart! rumor has it that the ufc was trying to get Anderson Silva and Chuck to fight,, as jim rome said ” that fight should never happen, chuck is the man. but chuckie but dont go out that way!” and i agree! i think throwing Chuck in the ring with The winner of Dan Hollywood Henderson and Rich Ace Franklin would be a great match! Chuck would put on a great and entertaining bout against either fighter. Chuck and Vanderlay would also be a good match. both fighters have beat each other before and both are coming off a big loss and that could build confidence in a win for either fighter. and how about Chuck vs Matt the Hammer Hamill that fight would be awesome!
Ufc 95 is gonna be awesome! Sanchez stepping down and finally being at the weight class that best fits him. taking on Joe Daddy! that should be a great match! also with season 1 and 2 im sure going at it! look for sanchez to tap out joe daddy quick with it!
Demian Maia (9-0) vs. Chael Sonnen
This fight is gonna be awesome! and i totally agree that the winner should fight Anderson right away! both fighters are at there prime and ready to go! Sonnen i think is gonna be a monster and do big things in the ufc!
I am also one of the unlucky ones who bought a ticket for this event (although only £80) thinking that there was going to be a massive main event (i.e Silva).
Even though it will be good to see Sanchez’s lightweight debut and Maia’s sick BJJ. I cant help but feel cheated because if i’da known that the card was going to be this, i would of just watched it on TV.
I think this is a very bad move for UFC because unlike the US, the UFC is still very new to most of the people over here. And without any big names in the card I doubt this event will turn any casual fan’s heads.
you guys got screwed
lousy card thank god it’s free
the only fight i like is demain maia and chael shonnen
this still needs a big fight, maybe at 205 jardine/alexander/cain or sumthin. and id like heath herring cos the fights so far are nice fights but they are pretty much unknown to the casual fan, it will struggle to seel out if there are no reasonably big names added??
I am not feelin the main event…main event’s dont have to be title fights but top contender matches would be nice, or several of them, and I don’t feel that Sanchez vs. Stevenson is main event worthy, though they are good fighters.
i love goin to the ufc. i spent 150 on my ticket and im gonna love it im sure. but they should change the name to fight night. sanchez vs joe daddy. hardly a main event is it.
god knows who they can put in to make this a big event.
oh well ay. as long as i see good fights (and im sure i will as most of the time the prelims are better than the main card) ill be a happy chappy
lousy main card man did u brits get screwed i am shock ed to only see one regular brit fighter in paul kelly on card
I got my tickets after rumours of Mr Silva smashing Chuck were banded about and im gutted that the card has ended up like this. Joe Daddy Vs Nutbag Sanchez is not a main event in the slightest….get schooled by Kenflo then get a min event slot, suppose its not bad for Joe Daddy….
That said i am still pumped for it and i reckon if Sonnen V Maia was in a years time that could easily be a main event for the title, thats how highly i rate these two fighters…..and as for no brits? Etim and Hardy are on the card, and Taylor wont be ready due to the broken ribs after the Lights Out fight…
All in i think UFC are always handing the UK bum cards and dud fights, and its about time they gave us some top tier title action as they are in danger of losing fans (i.e. myself) as we are getting sick of being short changed…..i hope they realise this….
Oh my god. i bought my boyfriend tickets to ufc 95(crimbo present)am i a goos mot or what…without seeing the fight card and im really pissed off too… respect to all fighters but when im paying 800 euro for 2 tickets i wanna see some big names.. and i love chuck i wish he was there.plus im in dublin and i have the extra expence of flying to london and a hotel bill….and ye i know theres an event in dublin but it sold out in record time..anyway peace out peoples will check out peoples comments later
give me a fucking break, toots. how about some cheese to go with that whine?
well,in all fairness 800euro is very steep,hope they are practically ring-side,however,you only have yourself to blame like.didnt even do the research into the card,even the rumours confirmed it would not be chuck,or silva,and that was pretty much general knowledge on all sites.i personally bought 6 tickets,without caring/knowing who or what the card was like,payed for cheap seats,these have the best view and I cant wait.I’m also going to the Dublin event,cant wait for that either,got my tickets last week on ebay,however,I’m sure you could pick up a pair on the night outside the arena,(always,at every event).all these people hating on the card,I’m going for the event,the weigh-ins,the pre-lim fight,the experience.I hope you can go,and actually enjoy the whole experience,and enjoy a trip to london,get the boat trip to the O2,makes it so much more fun.
Hey again….when i bought the tickets they were for my partner for crimbo and i tryed looking up the fight card and there was none so ye i bought them blind….i did ask peoples advice and from being a fan i taught it would be ok as the ufc always have a deadly main event…. but what can ye do…anyway in the end i got tickets for the Dublin event which was amazing and because of that im living for london….wish i could make all events
I also bought tickets on the Silva vs Chuck rumour and feel like I’ve been brutally sodimized! What a shitty fight card. One of the worst I’ve ever seen since I started watching at UFC 3. Dana I hope you read these! I think you’re a complete c*nt for this… I got first tier tickets and going to try and sell them now, but I don’t hold out much hope! NEVER will I pay to go to a UFC in the UK again!
Chuck is not fighting Jardine, silva or couture
man this card needs bulked up with some half decent names atleast!! Not one fight at 205 and all the top fighters that fight in that division, COME ON!!
What about adding Heath Herring/Houston Alexander/Tim Boetch/Vera/jardine/Cain……give usa break Dana, this is turning out to be a very poor welterweight card!! Get it sorted!!
The worst PPV card ever, if anyone pays for this one, you really have your head examined. This card should be called a Fight Night card.
I looked at this card over and over again, hoping they were going to add another fight in there. Come on Dana this card is rubbish, I am from the UK and I will not be buying a ticket for this one. To be honest I am that disgusted with the weakness of this card I actually don’t know if I am going to even watch it.
None of the fights on there actually interest me. Why couldn’t they have put the Rampage vs Jardine on this card at least that would have been a bit more interesting. I look at the Dublin card and then look at this one and I feel we have been shortchanged. I agree with Bigmcmac this should have been a ‘Fight Night’.
If this sells out I’ll eat my hat. What the hell are Sanchez and Stevenson doing headlining this card. Dana - if you are listening you will lose UK fans if you keep putting rubbish on like this.
I am off to support Affliction ;o)
thats gonna be a shitty main fight
sanchez is gonna kill him
I agree with nuts. This is a pathetic card. I have a quetion. Does anyone really wanna buy this card as is? Diego Sanchez coming down to 155 vs. Joe stevenson? that is suppose to get our blood going? Nate Marquardt vs. Wilson Gouveia, and Demian Maia vs. Chael Sonnen are actually good on the under card, but there is really no main draw! Lets see another tier 1 fight please!
Garbage card.
The fighter I’m most excited to see here is Demian Maia v. Chael Sonnen.
Anderson Silva is not fighting Chuck. Anderson is defending his title at UFC 97 vs Thalies Leites. Chuckles is fighting Shogun at UFC 97. And they are saying that the winner between Rampage and Jardine will fight Rashad. I still think Lyoto Machida should fight Rashad though.
wow dave you are quick!!! When did you find out chuck wasnt fighting anderson at ufc 95??? I was under the impression it was just being kept quiet and that when they announce the main event on the night chuck would come bouncing down to the octagon!! Oh well thanks for putting me straight lol!!
You guys that think Chuck will ever beat Anderson if they get in the ring together are CRAZY!!! I can’t imagine what makes someone think Chuck would last with him, Chuck would get demolished with the quickness. I personally hope they fight one day, but I also think UFC does not want that because Chuck is a money maker and they don’t want him to be slapped around in the ring on a PPV fight like he would be by Anderson.
I can’t wait for the day Anderson take his 2nd belt, hopefully it will be from someone worth a shit, maybe at least give me 2 good rounds of fighting before you ends it
I keep hoping this is some kind of joke, but 10 days before the event and I realise what a complete fuckin waste of £150 this was. I really don’t know if I can be bothered with the trip. If I didn’t have a ticket, I wouldn’t even bother watching this dogshite event on tv! Seriously, I’d rather sleep that watch this poor show. Dana said he was going to make this the best UK event ever… Well, you failed big time you wanker! When you consider the size of the venue and the decent card they had on in Ireland, compared to this sorry looking sack of shit featuring 2 B-level fighters, you have to question the complete bullshit that finds it’s way out of Dana’s mouth.
It’s a weak card lacking a credible name in the whole card, let alone the main event. This is a shitty Ultimate Fight Night at best. Granted, Joe Silva puts the fight card together, but Dana obviously doesn’t care. Even getting half my money back would still piss me off at this point.
i think the ufc should sign cung le so he can fight anderson silva. that would be a bangout and i think cung would beat him
Paul Kelly will KO Rude boy.
