Hope Evans tears Bisping apart…

he probably will

Rashad Evans will destroy him….by far a better striker and a better wrestler with more experienced and actually tough opponents. Not like Bisping that fights no namers that are clearly undeveloped fighters.
I really hope Evans can knockout Bisping like he did to Sean Salmon, so Bisping doesnt celebrate like an idiot for a fight that he did not win.

Strongly dislike both of these fighters, so I do not care who wins and who loses, as long as somebody gets KTFO, I will be happy. I perfer Evans to lose because I can not stand his fighting style.

Somebody (more than likely) will leave with a loss on their record!

Hope Evans tears Bisping apart…"

   haha i hope both get hurt so bad they never fight again they may both be pretty talented but i hate them both

This is pathetic.

Rashad is nowhere close to top level fighter and neither is Bisping. This is a shit match up that is a slick move on the part of the UFC to make one of these guys look legit… “Hey, Bisping took out Rashad, he is the real deal” or “Hey, Rashad beat ‘The Count’, he is the real deal”. They both suck. They both actually lost their last fights. The only good news is that one of them will lose… probably.

Rashad All The Way

Bisbing Is Shit

Hendo would destroy the lot of them.

Do you guys know what this means? Evans-Bisping = Tito-Wandy. Yes? No? Whaddaya think?

ewwwwwwwwwww HEADLINER? please no

I was hoping for Hamill to take care of this Business. I would rather Bisping fight Alexander but I will settle for Rashad to modify his behavior.

Who fights Tito then????

This better not be the main event!!!!!!

It better be free on SPIKE.

It should still be a good fight. I’ve seen worse….but I hope Rashad wins, then Hamill vs. Bisping should happen.

i hope this means that neither of the bullshit rematches happen…tito beat rashad, hamill beat bisbing, we don’t need to see either fight again to know that

Didn’t Dana say Rashad and Tito would rematch without any other fights before?

you guys got screwed, nice mainevent
anyways two things will happen now either tito will fight hendo at this event or maybe tito will fight the axe murder in dec. watch one of these will happen.
i can’t wait to see bisping get booed out of the stage, i hope rashad rips him a new asshole.

Mania, sounds as if you think Tito is to blame for this? Did you see anything out there pointing to this conclusion? Just curious.

Mania, sounds as if you think Tito is to blame for this? Did you see anything out there pointing to this conclusion? Just curious.

If Tito is already under contract, how much of an agreement does the UFC need? The contract should say “This is your opponent on this date.”

evans takes this fight pretty easily in my opinion. If hammill can stand with bisping evans will be able to stand with him easily and also take him down whenever he wants. this should be a very onesided fight in favor a rashad evans.

after both of their prior matches, this simply cannot be the main event of a ppv card. i really hope that a matchup of tito v
hendo is added to this card. on the brightside, the december card is unreal!

I think it will be a great fight & a good stepping stone for both of them, but agree that Tito Vs Henderson would be fricking awesome….

Yeah, this one should be an easy win for Rashad….. he is a much more powerful fighter. I don’t see Bisping taking this.

Evans will win..but, what the shit?

THAT’s the main event? Next Dana will try and serve up a couple of the whining bitches who left the TUF house.

BOOOO!

The best fighter either man has beaten is rashad over Jason Lambert. How is this a main event caliber fight? Ufc needs to push some of its 79 card into 78 please

At this point I really doubt that Tito is going to be on the card. The UFC is trying to take a hard stance with contract negotiations. Now they’re left with a card that has very little star power. As far as Tito Ortiz has fallen, he still is a big name and a guy people will pay to watch. Neither Rashad nor Bisping has the drawing power that he does, which is what you really need in a main event. I know alot of the plans the UFC had for this card fell through (I’m looking at you, Sean Sherk), but I hope this show bombs. The East Coast fans deserve better. Instead of loading up the star fighters for the upteenth Las Vegas or California card, they should’ve made a better effort to spread the wealth.

This card isn’t all that exciting, rashad vs Bis, as 2 undefeated fighters and 2 TUF winners, is decent, but as a Headliner?… get Kimbo versus Tank, that would be more anticipated than this fight and UFC wouldn’t have to pay them much.

Rashad beats Bis, even tough I wasn’t impressed with either ones last fight. I don’t have too much to say about this fight as you notice neither does anyone else.

No way in hell i pay for this PPV

DAMMIT !!! i cant believe i got tickets to this crap ass show !!!! AAARRRGH whyyyyy !!!!!!!!!!

Don’t worry, they still have 2 more fights to make other than the ones, rummored by mania, they wont mess up like they did with franklin vs. okami, they will have two really good fights.

 Thank GOD, I’ve always wondered who would win tank abbott or kimbo. Cant believe someone else thought about it. but as for all of you who hate rashad or bisping, they may both be B level fighters but I think Rashad has what it takes to be in the top ten one of these days. As for Bisping If he beats Hamill (I mean really beat hamill) Then he he has a shot at moving up in the world.

Ugh and I paid good money for tickets tot his piece of shit. tito vs henderson better get signed. this is simply not a main event let alone one for the tri-state.

haha what a terrible main event. I agree jason, Tito vs Hendeson is one of the very few things that could save this card

And the UFC won’t be getting $40 from me in November…

I’m watching in a bar or not at all. I love UFC, but this event is not good enough for me to buy it.

Both these guys are douche rags, however Evans is athletic as hell and somewhat legitimate. He beat 6’8 250lb Brad Aimes…he’ll absolutely demolish the petite Bisping.

Rashad & Bisping
Tito & Hendo (Hendo all day long)

Wandy & Chuck (Chuck via mustache ride)

Rampage & Forrest (both guys are likeable and VERY marketable)

Jardine & Machida (Machida deserves something and Jardine will get Rampage/Forrest winner)

Houston & Shogun ( Houston’s last test, if he passes he goes bigtime, if Shogun fails….OHHH BOY!)

Wow so is the Tank vs. Kimbo rumor or definite?? UFC has a lot of ground to make up on this card. With all the top level fighter in the hunt right now, this is the main event we get. Two B level fighters mixing it up. Validation? Like someone said up top, they are going to Validate one of these guys careers. This needs to be a freebie. Hell even the 2 freebies we have gotten were much more solid then this. This is really upsetting that thiis is the event we get next. I think the UFC are really playing us all for uneducated fans by adding this as a headliner. Wow 2 b-level guys to take my $40, nope…The only good thing is that Rashad will run right over Bisping.

At this stage of the game I gotta go with Kimbo over Tank soley based upon Tanks increasing age. Then again you gotta figure it would be a slugfest which Tank has a strong chance, not like when Mir grabbed his leg for a leglock. Besides, anyone seen the clip when Kimbo gets taken out by a fat Boston cop? Well the guy was a monster like 6’6 or 6’8 but he phucked Kimbo up!

Rashad is a much better fighter than you guys are giving credit and his style has improved greatly….. he crushes Bisping and sends him down to 185…

im english but i still think evans wins by his superior wrestling.his striking has also improved.they match up well in size because they are both small lhws.its great alexander is on the card aswell the guys a killer.

Do you guys know what this means? Evans-Bisping = Tito-Wandy. Yes? No? Whaddaya think?

no it means tito/henderson.

This is pathetic.

Rashad is nowhere close to top level fighter and neither is Bisping.

You couldn’t be more right. I can’t believe this will be the main event and Dana White expects us to pay 40 bucks to watch this.

Rashad picks up Bisping and slams him violently, as Bisping’s head bounces against the canvas like a basketball.

And the UFC won’t be getting $40 from me in November…

   You aint kiddin.This might be a good match up but what a lousy main event.

Hope Bisping nails that punk – tho’ nether will ever be champ – both should drop to 185

Rashad is a great fighter in my opinion. Bisping is fair but I think the Hamill fight exposed how over rated he really is. I hope Rashad rolls through him after that hamill fight.

If Rashad and Bisping are the main card I am switching back to viewing boxing. It seems more credible at this point. Good job Dana!

Hope Evans tears Bisping apart…

are you kidding me bisping will tear rashad apart, rasgad has no cardio, he improving it at big bear but it aint great. bisping can go 11 5 minit round changing opponents each round and he is an amazing well rounded fighter and you wait and see i guarentee bisping gets a title shot after he wins this fight , and he will be crowned champion of the world .

This is good news bad news. The good news is maybe we won’t have to see Ortiz-Evans, the bad news is we won’t get to see Bisping beaten properly by Hamill.

the card so far is

rashad evans vs michael bisping

houston alexander vs thiago silva

dave terrel vs ed herman

karo parisyn vs hector lombard

frankie edgar vs spencer fisher

thats not that bad imo, i think u all are being spoiled by these free unification fights on spike tv,

houston alexander vs thiago silva

who do u think is gonna be fight of the night?

who do u think is gonna be fight of the night?

..Frankie Edgar vs Spencer Fisher.**

I hope Rashad wooops his ass.

this is not a main event… its and undercard in my opinion.. i will not be getting ufc 78… so far

Rashad Evans will destroy him….by far a better striker and a better wrestler with more experienced and actually tough opponents. Not like Bisping that fights no namers that are clearly undeveloped fighters.
I really hope Evans can knockout Bisping like he did to Sean Salmon, so Bisping doesnt celebrate like an idiot for a fight that he did not win.

I could not have said it better. Bisping is a douche and I think he matches up poorly with evans. Rashad should give him a warm welcome back to America and this time the judges won’t have a chance to screw anyone out of a win. My fearless prediction, Rashad knocks him out in the second round!

This looks like an awesome card…an awesome card if it was an UFN.

Wow..Bisbing actually fighting in the States??

This is a good card – Bisping will plow thru rashad. One bad fight and you are writing him off. Only knowledgable mma fans know the bisping pedigree. UFC fighters are good but the two most dominant champions (rampage and silva) are both imports from other organisations. Typical USA hillbilly insular attitude. Dont reply to this as Im off a cup of tea.

I think it will be a great fight & a good stepping stone for both of them, but agree that Tito Vs Henderson would be fricking awesome….

I agree, I think Rashad will aproach Bisping like he did Tito, and if you let Bisping into a groove he can put up a good fight. I think this is going to be closer than everyone thinks.

but, if this is the main event, yes it better be free.

They need to throw Tito in there with Houston Alexander, Tito would get knocked silly.

hey im in england so get all the ufc FREE!!!!on bravo the day after.great isnt it.

Do you guys know what this means? Evans-Bisping = Tito-Wandy. Yes? No? Whaddaya think?

I SURE HOPE NOT! Yesterday, all signs were pointing towards Liddell/Silva in December. The UFC has to make the fight happen. I don’t care about Tito, plus he has nothing to do with sorting out the LHW division. He doesn’t deserve to fight Wanderlei. Yeah, I know Wandi probably wants to avenge his loss and all, but right now, Wandi is in the title picture, and Tito isn’t.

I have to let this all sink in between now and 10 am when tickets go on sale. 99% chance that I’m not buying. {as a tear slowly rolls down my cheek} Well, not really, but I felt like adding the dramatic effect.

I can see Bisping/Evans being the main event for an Ultimate Fight Night, but NOT a PPV, especially ther first PPV in the north east since UFC 55.

hey im in england so get all the ufc FREE!!!!on bravo the day after.great isnt it.

We can all watch the fights for free on the internet the day after too, but that’s not the point. In America, we like to see our action live, we don’t like the old stale leftovers

This is a terrible main event. How can you possibly do this, If our going to break up all these rematches that were suppose to take place (rashad vs tito, hamill vs bisping) at least make it worth my while. As a guy I on the east coast, in which is still going to be a 7 hour drive to this event, I was looking forward to this when I saw the location was set a few months ago. Now im considering not buying tickets.I wouldnt even be that excited if this was free.With the surge of great light heavy weights coming into the UFC, and Dana discussing dream fights, we get shit.With a star studded 205 class you could have made something great happen for the east coast. So thank you Dana White and Joe Silva for fucking up the one UFC that will come to the east coast and leaving a great impression on the east coast fans. You could of made this card great but you decided to screw all the east coast fans.Thanks alot and Im sure youll save all the good matchups for Las Vegas and California.

stale leftovers all bravo does is take the fights in the dark out peckerhead.

I like Ortiz/Alexander! I’d love to see Tito get super-kneed in the face.

So yes, I’m as surprised at this matchup but I have to admit: I do like it more than Ortiz/Evans 2 and Bisping/Hamill 2. I hope they add more good cards to UFC 78.

the card so far is
rashad evans vs michael bisping
houston alexander vs thiago silva
dave terrel vs ed herman
karo parisyn vs hector lombard
frankie edgar vs spencer fisher
thats not that bad imo, i think u all are being spoiled by these free unification fights on spike tv,

fight of the night will be Houston Alexander .. another first minute win..

stale leftovers all bravo does is take the fights in the dark out peckerhead.

peckerhead, lol, look out violentmike

I just dont care, Dana completely fuked this card royally.

quote]
Are you kidding me? Rashad lasted 3 with one of the best cardio guys in the business (Tito). Did you you watch Bisping’s last fight? He got his ass handed to him. Bisping sucks, and Rashd will prove that and hopefully shut Bisping’s big mouth. I can’t believe he made the comments he did after losing his last fight to Hamill.[/quote]

that fight was not a test of cardio at all he lasted 3 rounds but it was a cautious 3 rounds and he was gassed after 2 , probably the most inactivity in a fight for easily 2 or 3 years , maybe more !and titos cardio is amazing you did ot see him sitting down after round 2 .

This is a great card, it might not have “big” names, but it has really good and exciting fighters, I don’t blame the UFC for not having a bigger event, b/c the LW belt was supposed to be on this card, but Sherk F@# up ig time with his appeal, he better be clear out.

Interesting fight -not for a main event thou
I’m going with Bisping on this one but not by far and not the biggest fan of either fighter.

AT LEAST WE GET TO SEE ONE OF THESE FUCKERS HAVE A LOSS ON THEIR RECORD!!!

peckerhead, lol, look out violentmike

LOL, I know right, what a poopyface

dana is a reject if this is the main event. fischer and frankie edgar is the best fight on this card. dont get me wrong, fishcher is an animal, and can take a punch like none other, but tito/hendo or tito/wanderlei better get put on this card because i have always wanted to go to a UFC event, and i live in new york so now is my chance to go and i am not going to want to go to an event where bisping/rashad is the main event.
rashad will kill him. dana if you are reading this, BOTH OF THESE 2 MEN LOST!!!! there last fights, so based on that alone, i dont understand how you make that a main event. the tri state area deserves better, and i know that sherk messed up so i dont get why you cant move a fight from december to november and do something beneficial for once, u already almost lost a lot of fans for this whole dana vs tito garbage and now you are going to lose a lot of your tri state fans who finally have a chance to go to an event that is if anything a ufc fight night event card caliber.

This will be a card of good fights.

However, this is a pitiful return to NJ. For all the folks in the area that are dying to see a UFC show, I think many will NOT be going to this.

Everyone I have talked to that didn’t already buy tickets is holding off until either some better marquee matchups are announced, or they will just not go.

Sad, but the UFC really messed up here.

Go compare the matches for 78 vs 79. I just puked!

I’d fancy Rashad to take the win here. Bisping can’t deal with very good wrestlers. He was afraid to stand in the pocket against Hamill as he could take Bisping down almost at will. Both are kind of undersized, yes even though Rashad fought at HW. If Bisping clocks him one Rashad might dance around like only he can. If Bisping gets caught he’ll stumble around like a drunk. Did you see his $h!tty footwork against Hamill. This UFC card is a stinker. That’s not a main event.

hey im in england so get all the ufc FREE!!!!on bravo the day after.great isnt it.

Yeah they’re just jealous they have to pay lol…Seriously though Bravo is a sweet deal for us in our part of the world.
We never have to pay!

This is a good fight, but not main event of a PPV good. And it’s pretty clear, at least to me, that we wouldn’t have this situation if Tito wasn’t ducking Rashad. He knows that if he hadn’t grabbed the cage to avoid about 28 slams, Rashad would have finished him. Face facts, it’s Tito’s mouth, not his skills, that are keeping him on UFC cards. His ego, which is even larger than his own head and his girlfriend’s snootch put together, can’t handle a loss to a guy who’s on the fringes of the top 10 UFC LHWs.

Yeah they’re just jealous they have to pay lol…Seriously though Bravo is a sweet deal for us in our part of the world.
We never have to pay!

still hoping the drop in a true main even announcement today.

hey im looking forward to alexander/silva.hey alexanders a bad dude.he used to have 4/5 amateur fights a night and no one went passed a minute with him.people say well what about his ju jitsu uve got to keep him down first.i think he is the strongest lhw in the world by miles.if he does a number on silva while chuck/wanderlei get it on tito/henderson get it on jardine/griffin 2 shoguns injured put him in with rampage.hey why not?

If they add another big name fight it saves this card. The card is good dont get me wrong.But keep in mind tickets are not just being sold to avid MMA fans, majority of tickets are sold to casual viewers who only know big names and love knockouts. There are alot of great match ups but just happen to not be big names but the casual viewer will not know them and not buy tickets. Need to get big names on the card when you havent came to a place in years to keep that fan base returning. Your expanding all over the world with great fights. Why not the east coast of the U.S.? Tito vs Henderson as a main event would make me drive the 7 hours to NJ and it makes the card 10x better.

It’s a card full of great fights, but this is certainly not a headliner. Headliners need to either be A. Title fights, or B. Two fighters who’s next fight would be for the title if they win.

Bisbing doesn’t have a shot at the title, he’s got at least 3-4 guys to go through before he’d even be in consideration. Now, if he dropped to middleweight, he’d have a much better shot at a title. Rashad has to fight 2-3 top contenders before he gets consideration as well. Fighting Tito again doesn’t do much for him because Tito isn’t top of the food chain anymore, but I’d rather see that rematch than Bisbing.

thefightnetwork.com in their AM update, claimed that there were 2 fights remaining to be announced. Well we know the Houston one. I wonder who the other will be….

You’re gonna lose alot of fans over here on the east coast this way. Add another fight that replaces Evans vs Bisping as the main event and push Evans vs Bisping to the just the main card. Dana and Joe, dont let me and the east coast down, please.

Evans and Bisping not a main event. This fight is not a main event fight and this is a let down for me. I think they are two good fighters but with all the other possible fights out there UFC 78 is seeming to be a let down. This should be on spike not a pay per wiew. I surely won’t pay to see this and I’m sure there are alot of people out there that feel the same way. How about some more heavy weight fights, where’s the pit bull AA? I will be more excited to see Houston’s fight with Silva to see if Chute Box can bounce back. I’m looking right past this one and straight to ufc 79 which appears to be a nice card.

I DEFINATELY SAY PUT HOUSTON IN THERE WITH RAMPAGE!!! Its not that i think he deserves a title shot but i would love to see Rampage’s “Brawler Ass Whoopin” style vs. the brawler that Houston is. Imagine the stare down between those 2 beasts. Black on Black Crime HERE WE COME!!

U have got to be freaking kidding me!!!! Bisping vs. Rashad as a main event… That is the biggest joke I have herd alkl year…

I would rather see Joe Scarola vs. Billy Miles as the main event.

It would have to change its name from Validation to
UFC 78: No Ballz!!!!

ViolentMike, I really hope you dont waste your money on this event… What a JOKE. I dont know what else to say, Im baffled!!!!!!

COME ON DANA, I AM SURE YOU READ THESE POSTS>>> ;)

MAKE IT FREE ON SPIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your PPV #’s are going to suck big time so you might as well try to come out as the nice guy in an attempt to make your self more likable to the fans of UFC, and give it for FREE ON SPIKE.

You might as well add the two chumps that left their season of TUF that cried and left to go home to their girl friends to this card…….THAT IS HOW LAME THIS CARD IS>

Actually, I will say that I am looking forward to Alexander/Silva fight but to pay $40 for a 1 minute fight…not worth it.

ViolentMike, I really hope you dont waste your money on this event… What a JOKE. I dont know what else to say, Im baffled!!!!!!

Thank God that tickets didn’t go on sale this past Saturday when I thought that Henderson was fighting Tito in the main event. I would have been stuck with tickets to the most pathetic UFC card since Ireland. But at least that event’s main event was Franklin/Okami to decide the #1 contender. Rashad/Bisping is for nothing, except to possibly find out who should drop to the MW division first.

It better be free on SPIKE.

Exactly my thoughts. We have to make Dana know that clearly we won’t pay for this crap.

I agree, it’s a mellow card but if bisping breaks an arm or something it might be worth it. Okay, that might have been a little much. If he gets beat reeeeaaaaal bad. It will be worth it.

I don’t think Rashad or Bisping will ever end up at the top of any UFC division. Very sad fight card, pathetic.

Come on guys, it’s not THAT bad. Remember, a lot of the PPVs and Fight Nights that we thought were going to be trash turned out to be pretty good. The last couple of fight nights had people complaining about the star quality, and they had some of the best fights of the year (Fisher/Stout 2 was a classic).

The opposite can also happen. Anyone recall “Stacked”? Stacked w/ big names maybe, but not w/ great fights. Just relax and wait the night after before you judge the card.

I don’t see this fight going any differently than the Bisping Hamill, except that I think Rashad has a little more of a chance of finishing it since his stand up and GNP are better than Hamill’s. Good fight for all the TUFers out there…but I, for one, am not impressed.

yeah i like both of them but i may havd to choose umm Bisping
im going to this one its my 1st UFC event i could of had 7th row but i didnt have 500 i only had 300 crap

pour pour bisping……i guarentee he will lose this fight in the first round

this is not a main event… its and undercard in my opinion.. i will not be getting ufc 78… so far

cant be the main event
but its not undercard… two tuf champs and people will watch
tuf is the reason the UFC is rich
and nobody cares if youre not getting the card

i was a tuf hater til shogun went to sleep

Go Bisping!! Poor outing last time, chance to shut up all these bloggers who swing quicker than tiger woods.

Bisping KO’s Evan’s in the first!

Bisping KO’s Evan’s in the first!

we all know it’s going to decision…

Evans sucks something fierce
- Take down
- Do nothing
- Get up
- Repeat

Bisbing is cocky ass, but I want evans out of the spotlight

cant be the main event
but its not undercard… two tuf champs and people will watch
tuf is the reason the UFC is rich
and nobody cares if youre not getting the card

Not a bad card overall – s**t main event though! Thankfully i won’t be paying for it on this side of the pond.

THE NEXT 2 CARDS ARE WEAK WEAK WEAK!!!!! D white pull your Head from your A@@ and let TITO fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a bad card overall – s**t main event though! Thankfully i won’t be paying for it on this side of the pond.

y u not paying?

THE NEXT 2 CARDS ARE WEAK WEAK WEAK!!!!! D white pull your Head from your A@@ and let TITO fight!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they may be weak but the December card is stacked

thx m8.even being patriotic bisping is in no way a main eventer.come to think of it neither is rashad.i do feel sorry for u folk ova there who have to pay for this tat.its as bad as the northern ireland show.

Yeah I went to 72 and 75. The Tyson Griffin Clay Guida fight was animal, but yeah a lack of names. I was in the hotel with the fighters afterwards. It was so cool. Besides the guys that fought, Couture, Vera and Rampage were there too. I posted some stuff that happened in the hotel but Mania took it down. I don’t know London that well so we didn’t go looking for the Hilton after 75.

Hey, I know everybody is pissed at the main event but look on the bright side ..Karo Parisyan ,Thiago Silva vs. Houston Alexander , Spencer Fisher ,David Terrell vs. Ed Herman all grate fighters that are all fighting .However I do agree strongly with everybody ells . Screw paying 40.00 I`m going to the bar or I will read the results hear ( ufc Mania ) the next day .

weak main event!!!! very weak

ur wrong it was gonna be Tito v Evans II when tickets were gonan go on sale this past sat

Let me quote myself again, “Thank God that tickets didn’t go on sale this past Saturday when I THOUGHT that Henderson was fighting Tito in the main event.” Saying that I wasn’t thinking what I was thinking couldnt be proved unless you had access to my brain to see what I was thinking, kinda creepy.

BUT, if you look back a page or two on UFCmania, you will see that on Friday, it was reported that the main event could possibly by Dan Henderson vs Tito Ortiz. I left work at 5pm. My brother inlaw got married Saturday morning, and I was on the limo/party bus calling ticketmaster from my cell phone, BECAUSE AT THAT POINT IN TIME I THOUGHT THE MAIN EVENT WAS HENDO/TITO. I don’t know exactly when on the weekend those rumors were proved wrong, but I was buisy with a wedding, I wasn’t sitting in front of a computer on the internet.

So actually Michael, you are wrong. And one more time, when are the tickets gonan on sale?

Hey mania what is the fight card for ufc 79

*gonan go on sale

It better be free on SPIKE.

it should be but i kinda doubt it.

this is pretty much a ufc fight night card, with a little better undercard.

If it was going to be free I think they would have announced it by now ….But there still is time * fingers crossed *

This is an interesting fight. Both these guys are MWT’s in the wrong division. I think Rashad does well now because he’s incredibly athletic and very strong. Bisping on the other hand doesn’t seem to have that raw athleticism (on Evans’ level) but is very quick and accurate, and just a couple of well-placed shots opens a window large enough to finish a fight if you’re a finisher, which Bisping is.

Someone above said Rashad has poor cardio. There is no one from the Jackson camp that has poor cardio. To grapple against a heavier, bigger fighter like Tito for 3 rounds and still look relatively fresh is a testament to his conditioning. If you don’t believe me, try it. Nothing makes me more winded than grappling with a big wrestler. Rashad’s cardio is fine. btw, I fucking hate wrestlers. Sorry, just had to throw that in there.

Also, Evans should be sharp come fight time because he is training with a very fast, sharp fighter (GSP). His instincts should be prepared for Bisping’s speed and acumen. If you can see St. Pierre’s hands coming, you can surely see Bisping’s.

The Count will have a hard time winning, but I think he can do it if he lands a few nice shots to open up the fight for himself. Overall, this may prove to be a pretty decent fight. I don’t know about “main event” though.

Let me quote myself again, “Thank God that tickets didn’t go on sale this past Saturday when I THOUGHT that Henderson was fighting Tito in the main event.” Saying that I wasn’t thinking what I was thinking couldnt be proved unless you had access to my brain to see what I was thinking, kinda creepy.

BUT, if you look back a page or two on UFCmania, you will see that on Friday, it was reported that the main event could possibly by Dan Henderson vs Tito Ortiz. I left work at 5pm. My brother inlaw got married Saturday morning, and I was on the limo/party bus calling ticketmaster from my cell phone, BECAUSE AT THAT POINT IN TIME I THOUGHT THE MAIN EVENT WAS HENDO/TITO. I don’t know exactly when on the weekend those rumors were proved wrong, but I was buisy with a wedding, I wasn’t sitting in front of a computer on the internet.

So actually Michael, you are wrong. And one more time, when are the tickets gonan on sale?

well when i was on here last friday i was reading the main event was gonna be Tito Rashad II

So actually Michael, you are wrong. And one more time, when are the tickets gonan on sale?

i do but its not letting me post the link for some reason they keep taking my post off

That sucks

what a lame main event. i don’t like either of them. and bisping…after they robbed hamill he came out with that pathetic speech about how great he is. gross. and the ufc rewards him with a main event PPV bout? pathetic.

and i think they may have a Lighweight title match too

and i think they may have a Lighweight title match too

at 79

The “gonan on sale” was just a poke at Michael for his misspelling of “gonan go on sale”.

Me and Michael were just playing around.

On Friday, are you saying that ufcmania said it was tito/rashad, or the other site said it was tito/rashad. Because I know for sure that ufcmania said tito/hendo.

its the battle of two of the worst nick’s in the LW division

sugar vs the count

at 185 its a battle of two of the best

why do i always get moderated?

why do i always get moderated?

Did you make a curse word?

I get moderated too. I think UFC mania doesn’t like swear words or the mention of other mma blogs.

Kimo and Tank already fought. Kimo grounded and pounded Tank in the first round. terrible fight. it says Kimbo in the comments above but I assume they were referring to Kimo. UFC 78 card is a joke. They may as well have Stefan Bonner or Chris Leban headlining. Absolute joke. Having said that, i was a Bisping fan before Hamill kicked his ass and Bisping had a fit over the criticism. I hope Rashad knocks his swollen head off. Neither of these guys are threats to the LHvy title.

but thats censorship when they dont let u mention other sites how r we supposed to answer certain questions

if u wanna know the card for UFC 79 contact me at my email and have the subject say UFC 79 Card

WOW!!!!!!!! bisping vs evans….. CANT WAIT.

WOW!!!!!!!! bisping vs evans…..

CANT WAIT.

alot of people r mad that thats the Main Event

You couldn’t be more right. I can’t believe this will be the main event and Dana White expects us to pay 40 bucks to watch this.

Danna White is the main contributing reason why UFC has already peaked. Ya they did a great job exposing MMA in the US. But with him the UFC cant go much higher Im suprised the fratitas have not opened thier eyes. All the contract disputes show they dont want to pay the fighters what they deserve. And Dana is the reason why Fedor has still not signed.

I like Dana I think hes sharp but he needs to change his attitude and arrogant ways

y is every1 blaming Dana it was Tito that isnt answering Dana’s calls

and thats y Tito isnt fighting here

THIS BETTER BE LIKE 20$ WOW PAY PER VIEW 2 NOT EVEN TOP CONTENDERS

alexander/silva helped this card. dont get me wrong, but i swear dana needs to get his head out of his but, and sign tito vs hendo. I am dying to go to this event, but i dont wanna waste my $ when i could just get it on PPV and that will be better view, and paying less money but i have been dying to go to an event. if not, than dana is a fag.
like at least help us out and bring kos off of 79 and bring him to jersey, he is definately an exciting fighter to watch. with that being said this card needs 1 more fight and it will be saved, and it needs to be tito/hendo or bring kos down from 79. im rly pissed that sherk got banned, and instead of dana doing the right thing in making it penn vs stevenson, he is just prayin for sherk to be cleared and he probably wont, so he will have wasted a month to hear that he cant fight penn, and itll be penn/stevenson at 79. dana if u read this, from bottom of my heart FU

Last I checked, new york city had a considerable population. something like 8 million people in the boroughs alone. they could sell out any stadium they want in 5 minutes if they put together a card that was even halfway decent. no disrespect to fights like fisher vs edgar and alexander vs t. silva, but those in the tri-state area, one of the most populated and sports centered regions in the country, deserve better.

and what the hell happened to tito? If he isn’t taking a bigger fight, he’s being a little girl.

No offense to these two fighters or to any of their fans….BUT, these guys rate a main event for UFN, NOT for a PPV event.

Last minute “Holy Crap, we don’t have a main event! Who’s available and not on suspension?!?!?! Bisping and Evans? Great! Ya, make that the main event.”

Peersonally I’m not a fan of either of these fighters. I think their both over rated and it’s a D main event. Frankly I would have preferred Tito Rashad II. Although Rashad Evans is 15-0-1, not 10-0-1 like the article claims, I don’t believe he’s that good of a fighter. He hasn’t faced any real compitition except maby a dried up, worn out, rusted Tito Ortiz in a fight which he scrambled to put a 10-9 round togeather in the final minuits to capitalize on Tito grabbing the fence a million times until he had a point taken away to come away with a draw. Bisbing hasn’t taken any big names either. In his last fight with Matt Hammil he “earned” a split decision victory that didn’t prove to me that Bisbing can hang with the elite or even the top 10 205 fighters. If you ask me this is a lousy main event in a lousy state. PA rules!

YOU CAN NOT BE SERIOUS!!!!

You may be a main event fighter if:

your last fight you won a split decision when you clearly lost the fight.

you haven’t fought anyone with a winning percentage over 50% in the UFC

your last fight went to a draw against a guy who fought Ken Shamrock in 2 of his previous 3 fights.

at some point you were on the Ultimate Fighter TV show.

UFC 78 Invalidation

great now i can watch the countess get his face bashed in with some mean elbows. i can’t wait, he is an overated piece of crap.

I hope Rashad wins. With all of the upsets, I’m not sure what will happen. Bisping is a striker no doubt and Rashad is a wrestler. If it goes to the ground, Bisping will be in trouble. Then again, Hamill (a wrestler) dominated bisping on their feet for a little while. Rashad is quicker than Hamill and did anyone see that head kick to sean salmon? Yeah, I could see something like that happening. They are both small for this weight class so I think its a great match up. This is a great card if you ask me. Everyone is just so bent on seeing Tito, Chuck, Shogun, Silva etc. I hope to see Tito in this PPV but if not I’m still content with houston alexander, Ed herman, Evans, Bonnar, Parysan….YEAH DUDE!

Thank GOD, I’ve always wondered who would win tank abbott or kimbo. Cant believe someone else thought about it. but as for all of you who hate rashad or bisping, they may both be B level fighters but I think Rashad has what it takes to be in the top ten one of these days. As for Bisping If he beats Hamill (I mean really beat hamill) Then he he has a shot at moving up in the world.

KIMBO VS TANK is scheduled for October 12, but rumor is it’s cancelled,, having trouble with Pay Per View is the word… this fight will be a fun 1 minute brawl.

and what the hell happened to tito? If he isn’t taking a bigger fight, he’s being a little girl.

tito is being an idiot and some1 said he isnt returning Dana’s calls and as it says here up top:

Leading up until today it was widely speculated that Evans would rematch Tito Ortiz. However, it seems as though the UFC lost its patience with “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” on a bout agreement.

now this would be awesome but im looking at when Randy fought last and it was in August what if UFC puts a Heavyweight Title fight as the Co-Main Event? it would be 3 months between fights

now this would be awesome but im looking at when Randy fought last and it was in August what if UFC puts a Heavyweight Title fight as the Co-Main Event? it would be 3 months between fights

but if they continue on the pace of his 2 fights then it would be UFC 80 because he fought at 68 then 74 which is 6 UFC events between which would make it UFC 80

This is a terrible card. Put it this way; Bisping lives less than 10 miles away from me and would love to see him kick Evan’s ass but if this card was in Manchester England I wouldn’t even attend – I doubt that i’d even get it on PPV! Nither Bisping or Evans are main event draws – not even in their respective countries.
Saying that, you guys that wanted to see Bisping get destroyed and as much as I love the guy you are probably going to see it on Nov 17 – R3, TKO Evans.
There is a much bigger issue here than Bisping/Evans though – it’s the overall quality and quantity of main event fights. I mean, why are we even talking about the next Tito fight??? The guy obviously doesn’t want to!! Move on!! They need to get back to maybe 6 fights per year and have cards that have the real fans clamouring for tickets. Dana needs to fully establish the Fight Night formula of which there could be at least 12 per year that would feed the main events and make them more attractive. This could then be replicated in England, Spain, Japan etc…
I understand that we are going through strange times with the aquisition of Pride and the fact that their fighters aren’t living up to the hype (with the exception of Rampage)and that Dana thought he could use this platform to multiply the amount of fights we were to see – but a rethink and more planning in the coming months and years are needed I think to solidify the UFC and make it as mainstream as boxing used to be whih is where Dana obviously wants it to go.

I think tito evans II would be a worse main event, Im not mad its not a great main event but an exciting card

I THINK THE MUSCLE SHARK IS GUILTY, HE IS WAY TOO PUMPED

like at least help us out and bring kos off of 79 and bring him to jersey, he is definately an exciting fighter to watch. with that being said this card needs 1 more fight and it will be saved, and it needs to be tito/hendo or bring kos down from 79

LOL, Kos couldn’t save an event! Kos just fought the biggest name in the division, GSP, and that wasn’t even the Main Event. However, Hendo vs Tito on the other hand, is the fight that everyone in the tri-state area wants to see added to this card. BUT, it’s not going to happen, but we’re all keeping our false hope. Plus, on any other card, Hendo/Tito would NOT be a main event. Its only because 78 sucks so bad that it would be main event.

are you kidding me bisping will tear rashad apart, rasgad has no cardio, he improving it at big bear but it aint great. bisping can go 11 5 minit round changing opponents each round and he is an amazing well rounded fighter and you wait and see i guarentee bisping gets a title shot after he wins this fight , and he will be crowned champion of the world .

Go Bisping!! Poor outing last time, chance to shut up all these bloggers who swing quicker than tiger woods.

Bisping KO’s Evan’s in the first!

Are you kidding? That’s the worst prediction I’ve ever heard. Maybe you’re praying for a lucky punch. Evans may not be an exciting fighter, but Bisping is B level at best. also comes across as a real dick.

Can someone explain exactly how they come up with these fights? Does the UFC have official rankings (which would mean, logically, that certain ranked fighters would have to fight another at a certain rank)? Or does someone pull names out of a hat? Can’t see much rhyme or reason with current system. I’m not a fan of Bisping or Evans. Respect them yes. but to u people who think Bisping will win, please give me some analysis here, not just the opinion of a zealous fan. And it is a weak main event. If nobody buys PPV, it would send a message to Dana. But what are the odds of that happening?

This a wonderful undercard fight, now where is the main event DANA!

New MMA FAN, Don’t insult dick’s the’re useful, Bisping isn’t

New MMA FAN, Don’t insult dick’s the’re useful, Bisping isn’t

Sorry, wasn’t thinking!

i guess this is a decent main event, both are undefeated and both are undersized 205ers, they match up ok, i’d give the strength to rah, the stand up is about even, the wrestling definitely to rah, cardio is about even, i’d say bisping is slightly better at jj, but neither is really good, really to me on paper this looks like a better match up for rashad than for bisping…bisping is obviously coming off a bad performance against hamil, but rashad evans wasn’t too impressive against tito either, he didn’t do much at all in that fight…this could be a really slow paced fight with neither guy wanting that first loss and both fighting defensively, or it could be a barn burner with both guys trying to make up for their last performance with a big win here, i hope its the latter…i’m not a big fan of rah, but i’m gonna pick him to win this fight, he’s used to fighting bigger guys and always does well against them so a fight with a smaller guy like bisping should be an easier one for rashad, plus we know greg jackson always has his guys in great shape so i think he’ll either outwork bisping for a decision or pound out a late stoppage…

OMG THE UFC MAIN EVENTS R GETTIN TERRIBLE I MEAN FIRST JARDINE AND LIDDELL WAS QUESTINBLE BUT I BOUGHT THE EVENT BECUASE THERE WAS SUM OTHER GOOD UNDER CARD FIGHTS BUT I LUV BISPING AND EVANS BUT THIS IS NOT A MAIN EVENT BUT I HOPE THERE IS GONA BE SUM GOOD UNDERCARD FIGHTS

“LOL, Kos couldn’t save an event! Kos just fought the biggest name in the division, GSP, and that wasn’t even the Main Event.

Plus, on any other card, Hendo/Tito would NOT be a main event. Its only because 78 sucks so bad that it would be main event.”

here is the thing, i know that tito/hendo is not going to happen, so the next best thing i can hope for is bringing Kos to save this event some how. yea I know that it probably won’t save the event, but Kos is exciting, and just stood head to head in a great fight with GSP, so you know it would be an awesome fight if Kos has good competition.
anyways though, bisping/rashad is NOT a main event, in all honesty i would be dissapointed to see that as main event of ultimate fight night. but is there going to be another fight added? because i see 8 fights, and 9 fights on all the other cards. dana i really hope ure reading this u cum dripping cock sucker. ADD A REAL MAIN EVENT!!!!! you can see that everybody is bad mouthing you, and i know for a fact u probably dont want that, so whether it is giving tito more $ to get a fight with Hendo on this card, or whatever it is JUST DO IT.
are you trying to lose your tri state fans? do something to save it.

Hate both of these guys. Hopefully they both lose.
I’ll be happy either way though, somebody has to lose.

i would flip if they add a Lightweight title fight i say strip Sherk and give BJ and Joe a title fight and if Sherk wins his appeal have him face the winner

Here is a rumored card:

Michael Bisping vs. Rashad Evans
Karo Parisyan vs. Hector Lombard
Houston Alexander vs. Thiago Silva
Frankie Edgar vs. Spencer Fisher
Ed Herman vs. Dave Terrell
Thiago Alves vs. Ryo Chonan
Akihiro Gono vs. Tamdan McCrory
Joe Lauzon vs. Jason Reinhardt

thing is im seeing a match thats not on this card that is being said on this website

Rashad Evans is no freaking Joke…Don’t let the Tito fight fool ya…there was a reason why tito was holding on to the fence…He knew Rashad would take him down and put him in trouble….

Tito wants no part of a rematch…as for Bisping…NOTHIHNG would please me more than to see Evans beat him in the most brutal way possible…I absolutely hate BISPING…Rashad by brutal KO in two.

Evans is the next best thing….I think he would KO Chuck Liddell…Hell he beat Jardine and Liddell couldn’t do it…..I know Chuck beat Ortiz…..but Chuck hasn’t been the same after that KO…..Rashad is the Next champ….believe that.

honestly to ROD
yes i agree that rashad is really good. but do you really think he is main event caliber as of right now? i agree that he may be a lightweight champion pretty soon, just not yet. bisping SUCKS. i would love to see when hammill will tear bisping’s head off.
just the fact that dana made this a main event is pure bull shit. he easily could have done better for jersey, and now the kids that i was supposed to go with arent going because this card is a UFC fight night card, yea Karo will have an exciting fight. houston/silva will be. fisher/edgar will be. but the main event is what makes this not worth paying 70 bucks or 50 bucks to go to. DANA SUCKS TESTICLES!!!!!!!

Buddy,you’re an idiot.

Rashad is going to kick Bisping’s ass. For all of you who don’t think Rashad is any good can’t spot talent for shit.

east coast gets no love ufc is a wack fightnight

I recently read on a link from Bisping’s website that Dana guaranteed the winner of this fight a title shot. Is this really true? If so, how do either one of these guys deserve a title shot before Keith Jardine, or even Liddell or Henderson? If by some fluke Bisping wins and gets a title shot, I will honestly believe that Dana White has the UFC rigged for Bisping’s success and promotion in England.

I really hope Bisping gets his bell rung and has nowhere to go exept down to 185 where Rich Franklin will beat his ass. It is almost clear to me that Bisping is trying to avoid a rematch with Hamill because he knows he will probably loose, again.

The bottom line is that Dana White picks the matchups he thinks will help him make his wallett fatter instead of letting the best fights happen.

Either way I am glad Bisping is fighting Rashad because I think he will get the ass kicking he deserves. And, I hope it will humble him to the point where he realizes he isn’t as good as he thinks he is.

Chuck has lost 2 times in a row and Henderson already lost to Jackson

im so pissed that this is what they give us to see in new jersey, i’ve waited since 04 for them to come back here, and they throw me this shitty card. i doubt henderson will fight tito, at this point i just hope they throw brock lesnar a fight so i can watch something that i care about, not these two overated reality stars who both should have gotten a loss after their last fights

bisping couldn’t deal with hamill.
evans is i believe a better striker than hamill.
evans for sure, probably by stoppage
