don’t be surprised if main event is hughes vs serra

i´ve heard that it´s gonna be brock vs. nog (or mir?). i sure do hope so, don´t want brock to hang to the title for too long.

hughes vs. serra would at least hold some intrest because of all the anger they have for each other , the fact thier sesson finale bout did’nt materialize , and finally they both know thier careers in the octagone is comming to an end . They both want to at least beat down thier nimisis before they hang it up . If this fight does come up , I hope Serra beats hughs an inch from death to put the last nail in the coffin of Matt’s fight career !!

@c-one

Your dreamin’ sir. No way does Serra beat Hughes.

the only thing i like about matt hughes is his entrance song. go ahead and hate on that if ya like. oh and the fact that he gets kicked in the balls or poked in the eye at least once in every fight iv’e seen… man karma is a bitch for a turd like hughes!

Matt hughes has already officially been announced for the card in april. i think it will be the middleweight title on the line at UFC 96 because the heavyweight titles will be fought for shortly before, and the light and welterweight champs are fighting at UFC 94…so, in my opinion it’llbe middleweight championship.

Liddell will fight in either 95 or 96 (hopefully at HW). If Hughes-Serra is the main event, they would need a Liddell on the card to sell some PPVs. Although Hughes and Serra hate each other, would anyone really pay to see that fight??

*Keeping my fingers crossed for 96: Nog-Brock

Hughes/Serra wouldn’t draw enough ppv by itself. The UFC likes giving Columbus good fights esp with the Arnold Classic next door. The UFC won’t let Columbus down. With Silva wanting to fight at 205, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him on the card again. The Heavyweight Championship is prb unlikely as that would mean the Mir/Nog winner would have just over two months to recover and train, not something too many ppl do (beside Silva).

its march 7th not the 9th

Does anyone know when these tickets will go on sale? I was hoping to get them as a present for christmas– any help would be appreciated

Matt Serra has submitted someone since Kelly Dullanty.

You may have heard of him, his name is Georges St. Pierre.

This is probably the Lesnar/Nogueira Mir winner

Serra/Hughes is in April.

Does anyone know when Dong Hyun Kim fights again? There was talk of him fighting in 94 but thats not happening. I doubt it will be UFC 95 because its in London.

He has only fought twice in the UFC and won both fights. I guessing we will get to see him fight again. Dont most new UFC recruits sign a 3 or 4 fight contract?

Thanks.

I’m from davenport Iowa, and i have meant Matt Hughes 3 or 4 times he is an ass this a very big ego typical farm kid thinks he is the be all and end all of every thing. if you know some farm kids you know the type. so i hope Serra bets the crap out of him then makes him tap out with a rear naked choke

Huerta has already been given the nod just no opponent yet,as far as the main event…..Silva at 205 vs.

I’m hearing Huerta/Fisher on the main card.

Its also possible this could be the night for four of guys who should retire.
Maybe we’ll see Hughes/Serra and Randy/Chuck. These guys are all past their prime and are no longer contenders by any means.

anyone know where the event in april will be yet??
portland maybe??

Has anybody heard if fitch might be on this card.Please let him fight karo in columbus so I can watch fitch kick his a#*.

I just read Anderson Silva vs Chuck liddel UFC 95 and I believe Matt Hughes would walk thru Matt Serra.. lol

everyone running there mouth about matt hughes an matt serra need to grow some balls. Lets see you guys grow a set of nuts an jump in the octagone put your gloves on.iI give all these guys all respect an all you want to do is say there all wash up. jump in the ring with royace gracie is he washed up i think he would wipe your ass up in the ring.so if u got the balls give dana white a call if u got a set of nuts.

its going to be Liddell Jardine in columbus.Silva wont fight at 205 for awhile.they have pretty much made it clear if st. pierre wins against penn that he will fight silva toward the end of the year on another super card,in which the heavyweight championship would be on same card.like around august.and as for matt hughes,he has made it publicly known he only is going to fight one more fight and it will be against Serra.hes to busy with his training facility’s and his daughter,but washed up you people are crazy.

i dont think that Hughes & Serra will be fighting till April. i think it is going to be held in Illinois.

I have floor seats for this event. Was at the last two, and they were great cards. However, the way this card is shaping up, I may be selling my seats and staying home to watch. Liddell vs Jardine II?! Come on! They have had a championship bout on all three Ohio cards, and they need to have one for March. We in Ohio have been very good to the UFC. Hopefully they add a championship bout, and better fights for the main and under cards.

Ohio has been good to the UFC. There has to be something else in that card to make me want to drive from Cincinnati to Columbus.

I want to see Junie Browning on this card!!

i think hughes vs serra would be good for ohio because hughes said this can very well be his last fight

i am still debating whether to go our not a trip from cali would be pricey for this event but i don’t wanna wait till summer to see another ufc event live

gonzaga vs carwin…huerta vs tba..chuck vs tba…i think its gunna turn out good

huerta is being rumored to fight spencer fisher
i am going now hotel, flight, ticket is paid for
if chuck is not main event i do think he will fight one of these 4 coleman, shogun, franklin, or hendo
who ever comes out unscratched
and maybe a serra vs hughes main event

How about Chuck vs. Forest at UFC 96?

I would love to see chuck and forrest, however i heard that forrest has a broken hand, any truth to that? Im definately making the trip again to columbus from upstate ny. The card out there last year was awsome, i hope its another good one this year.

curious to see main event i doubt serra will fight hughes in canada will siva vs okami/leites and you know damm sure gsp will be on the card win/lose
they should fight in main event in march only thing is window is closing fast for time they need to prepare
i wild card would be randy couture vs big nog or even lidell at heavyweight

Chuck - Rampage 3 or is it too soon for Rampage?

My mistake, Rashad vs Rampage

I wish they would just announce the final card already. I am tired of guessing who will be fighting. Tickets are bought hotel is booked. I am making the drive from Detroit. I’m ready to go. Give us the damn card already!!!!! This is the first time I noticed tickets on sale without fights announced. It really slowed down ticket sales. I got great seats the 2nd day of the presale.

I would love to see chuck fight forest but it doesn’t look likely. Bottom line is chuck has to win what ever fight is put in front of him so my guess is it’s not going to be a huge fight like rampage and I really don’t care to see liddell-jardine 2.

I am also a brock fan and would love to see mir/lesnar 2 as the main event. Also glad to see huerta on the card.

If anyone has any real info lets hear it.

according to a dana interview…chuck wont fight forrest bc chuck needs a win…and chuck most likely wont be on 96. it sucks..only mmaplaygrounds website they got 8 fights on there for this columbus card and they are ok fights..but only 1 i really good fight..and no main event rumor..kinda sucks.

i heard chuck is out sad card
i am flying from calim no main event nor co main event, very sad. they better have at least 11 fights on this card. but the fact a maynard vs miller and hazlett vs saunders both are on main card speaks volumes to how lousy this card is.

hughes is a joke and needs to go back to the farm he really sucks donkey ballz

how about sherk?

I’m attending this event from Ontario…If anyone from the UFC looks at this fan site, which they should, please put together a solid card! The rumour’s cuurently swirling about this fught card are brutal…us folks in the great lakes area don’t get much opportunity to see live UFC events, so please Mr. Silva and Mr. White, put a good card together. Anderson Silva would make most people happy wink wink!

card is over baby!! they pushed jensen fight off thank god they will annouce two more fights hopefully both on main card with one being main event
i think they are waiting till dublin event is out have a shogun vs loser of franklin/hendo fight as main event

rampage vs rashad is gunna be the main event at 96..i think chuck may be on the card too but definatly the rampage fight … according to aroundtheoctagondotcom.

This card sure looks a bit crappy right now. ANd as for the rumours of Rashad vs Rampagae at 96, i heard it was going to headline UFC 100 in July. But hopefully they can put Shogun vs Franklin after Hendo whoops Franklin and SHogun retires Coleman.

i heard evans vs rampage at ufc 100 AS WELL

Evans VS Rampage @ ufc 97 not confirmed yet

UFC 96 makes more sense than waiting till july. Evans vs Rampage, the two Matts and maybe Mir vs Lesnar make for a stellar card. The winner of Lyoto vs Thiago vs Rashad/Jackson winner sounds great. Who will Wanderlie fight next at 185?

Would be dumb if Munoz vs Hamil will not be originally televised. Go Mark!! UF ROCKS!!!

lidell is off the card
looks now it will be rashad vs rampage in main event
only how lidell stays is if shogun kills coleman on sat and accepts to fight lidell for co main event

tba fights a few fights per night it seems, he must be rock hard

um…WEAK SAUCE…..

i feel sorry for Jardine, i think winner should should fight forest for a rematch, so i guess winner of lyota vs thiago gets next tittle shot

Rampage vs Jardine? Weak……….they need to add two great fights in order for me to even think of watching this one. The Hazelett/Saunders fight looks pretty interesting.

Come on UFC! This card is so weak…you guys need to add another quality fight to beef it up. How about Anderson Silva Vs. Chuck Liddell at 205…that would seriously help. As it stands, I’m crying inside! I have wife approved tickets for the very first time…please don’t let me down.

lousy fights flying over 3000 miles to watch crap fights

Stop crying, those are great fights for Columbus, not as good as last year, but still great scraps. How many times can you see Rampage fight. I am going to UFC94 that is that a great scrap, but that is Vegas baby.

well,chuck is confirmed to fight shogun,so ye can lay of him now.

this is my third time watching rampage fight jerk off
don’t even compare 94 card to 96

My picks:

Rampage
Gonzaga
Hamill
Hazelett
Vera
Maynard
Boetsch
Day
Riley
Sell

GSP vs Silva—any event

then…

Silva vs. Fedor @205 (Fedor can make the cut)

MAKE IT HAPPEN DANA!!!

I think this card is def. lacking. Page/Jardine is a co-main event at best. I like Jardine, but hes been on a win-lose-win-lose type streak lately. Stats say he loses. My guess by KO. I would absolutely LOVE for him to pull an upset though. Jardine gameplan = KICKKKKS!!!!

My main beef with 96 is the fact that Hamill and Vera get televised fights. How bad to they both have to look before they get thrown on the undercard. I am very interested in Miller/Maynard, Grove/Day, and Sell/Brown (to an extent).

However, I am super excited about the McClovin/Saunders fight. I in no way see a decision here. TKO or Submission, and I think it will be submission. I’m a big fan of McClovin (who isn’t) and I think this year he will emerge as a consensus top 10 UFC WW (if he isn’t thought of already). After he submits Saunders with a Flying Scissor Omaplata Armbar, he will get some quality fights against top tier guys.

I’d like to see him fight Karo, Kos II, Swick. If he fought Fitch, Fitch would LnP on him for 3 rounds. :/

don’t get too excited hazlett is injured and off the card now
saunders is fighting a newbie now
could this card get any worse

Yeah I live in Columbus and was excited for Rampage Vs Evans, but seriously Gonzaga Carwin and Maynard Miller are the best two fights besides Rampage Jardine and even that isn’t that exciting. Man somewhere Jon Fitch is pissed. Him vs. Gono could have been the co-main event.

i agree two best fights are gonzaga and maynard even with those two plus hamill and rampage matches the ufc needs to add another main event card qualifying match

This card lacks a main event badly. With all the great fighters in the UFC they can’t give us a better card than this. I’d rather have the 95 card than this shit

Hey stop whining across the pond!! over here in the UK we would accept most of the fight cards you guys get in the USA, just look how basic UFC 95 in London is!!! we deserve some top fights,but looks like Dana saves them for PPV as UK fights are free on Spike!! maybe we will get Bisping vs Hendo in the summer!

wow, rumors swirl that chuck is going to headline the ufc 96 event. unreal tickets go on sale and of course a few weeks later rumors come up that chuck is out. great marketing dana, go out and buy the tickets first day and think your going to see acdc and then milli vanilli shows up. come on ufc thats not treating your fans right i will never buy tickets until the entire fight card is released, this will be my sixth live event and this card stacks up as the weakest. this will be the first event i have attended that is a non-title fight card. i liked how chuck was off the card they rumored to have rampage vs. evans, yeah lets have evans fight every three months, come on stop having events every month, let the anticipation for a great match build. this ufc 94 should have been build up for 4 to 5 months, whoever wins the next opponent is a joke get real. this is the only advantage boxing has, build the fight, not flip fights every four weeks to build your pockets deep dana, you came from the boxing circuit you should know how to treat the loyal fan. ufc 96 seriously is unexplainable, its during the arnold classic (biggest sporting expo in north america) and they put up jardine in the main event, good luck selling 6,000 tickets. i would rather the ufc skip columbus or the bs ufc 95 card than to really pursue it. here is great advice let your fighters heal and put together solid shows and treat the fans great for they are the ones that keep you going if people stopped purchasing the ufc would fade away.

Finally I can take an UFC off………….this card reeks

this card might look weak but alot of times the cards that look weak end up being the most exciting, I bought tickets to this event and i was waiting and waiting to buy them until they announced some fights but then i heard the rumor of rampage vs. evans and i jumped the gun and bought them and now i am stuck with rampage vs. jardine but im going to be positive and hope for the best. Gonzaga vs. carwin should be a great fight, miller vs. maynard should be good, vera vs. a nobody should end in a exciting vera knockout like he did back in the day. grove vs. day i think will be an exciting fight, i think we should stop judging the card before it takes place and wait till it actually happens.

C’mon, does anybody here really think Jardine has a chance against Page. This main card won’t get out of the first round.

Main event and under card looks good
- Who cares about the like of Hamil and buddy-Shitty HBO card

wow this card blows , The UFC needs to take more time for there cards instead of flooding the market with this crap.

the full fight card is now up on ufc.com it looks like this:

Main Event:
Rampage Jackson vs. Keith Jardine

Main Card:
Matt Hammill vs. Mark Munoz
Pete Sell vs. Matt Brown
Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Shane Carwin
Gray Maynard vs. Jim miller

Undercard:
Tandam Mccory vs. Ryan Madigan
Kendall Grove vs. Jason Day
Tim Boetsch vs. Jason Brilz
Brandon Vera vs. Michael Patt
Aaron Riley vs. Shane Nelson

This card looks weak now but i see the potential for alot of exciting fights and finishes. We pretty much all expect a highlight reel knockout for rampage, Hammill vs. Munoz will probably turn into a stand up battle although both arent known for striking.Pete Sell vs. Matt Brown is probably going to be a three round war and earn fight of the night. Gonzaga vs. Carwin two top contenders who both heavy heavy hands and like to throw down. Gray Maynard vs. Miller could be either really exciting or boring but i see maynard trying to lay and pray his way to another decision but miller will pull out a submission sometime late in the fight.

shitty card ever

this should be free - garbage main card

When is the next Affliction - great night to hold the last Affliction on TV for free

next week will suck i hope my attitude changes but i am all ready looking forward to ufc 100

fuck this card….a pile of garbage. ufc fuck ohio this time. out of all the possible fights that should happen. ufc 97 got the hook up tho, those fuckin canuks

They better televise the kendall grove fight…ive been waiting for him to come back

This is a bs PPV. Should be free on Spike but too bad the last UFC event was two big fights away from a real card too.

I ordered PPV “UFC 96″ tonight and it is not working…
