I wonder how many fights we will be seeing on the 1st episode of TUF ? Could make for a real good evening if we get a chance to see “AT LEAST” 7-10 of the fights from UFN 13, and 2-4 from the TUF broadcast.

I agree, everyone reading this should send that to Spike, this is a sick card.

Main event should be K. Florian vs F. Edgar…. That would be a way better match-up

Main event should be K. Florian vs F. Edgar…. That would be a way better match-up

Nobody makes for a better match-up than joe lauzon.. and I love frankie edgar..

Its an insult to Frankie Edgar to be fighting Gray Maynard. That is like 3 steps back for Edgar. The only reason this fight is on the undercard is because of Gray, not because of Frankie.

Also, Clay Guida should NEVER be on the undercard, especially on a free event. Lets see, his last fight was the main event of the last TUF finale, and it was only the fight of the year! How do you go from being in a main event that wins fight of the year to being on the untelevised portion of a free event. INSANE!

Din Thomas vs Josh Neer and Fisher/Aurellio are both better matchups that fights typically on a UFN.

I suggest changing the wording of that letter a tiny bit. Instead of “The card is one of the best UFC cards ever put on Spike, and it deserves a longer timeslot.” we should say “This card is by far the greatest UFC card to ever be on free television.” (or “Spike” instead of “free television”, but we need to convey the point that this is the best free card ever.

Dont get the whole Irvin Vs Alexander fight on the main card!
Irvin has been in two fights in a row were het gets hurt and the fight has to be stopped. The last one was very suspect.

Edgar Vs Grey should be amazing. My guess is this fight on the under card is due to the Couture situation. My guess is thats why Grey is getting Frankie in the 1st place. But i think Grey is a very dangerous guy for frankie.

I agree that the matchmaking and which fights are being televised are both questionable. I think Edgar was forced to fight maynard because he was in talks to be fighting Gomi, while all these other matches were being booked. The Gomi deal fell through so they needed to find an opponent for Edgar….it was Gray. That is why this was one of the last fights added to this card.

Hopefully, too many fights dont go to a decision so that we can see a few other of these incredible match ups. The problem with that is the Karo and Alves fight. Everyone has to know that it will go to a decision.

Then there is Florian and L-Lau…both dude are Tough guys, I dont think either fighter will finish that fight quickly either.

The Hamil vs. Boetsh fight could end early with Boetsh KO’ing Hamil, who may get caught because he tends to drop his hands when throwing that hard, but slow and over-extending jab of his. If I were a striker game planning for Hamil, I would take advantage of that. Or Hamil can grind out a decision win.

The Alexander vs. Irvin fight shouldnt last too long, which is good because that is our best chance at seeing an undercard fight get aired.

With the current time slot being 2 hours, I am not anticipating
seeing any other fights besides the 4 scheduled to air. Not only do I not think many of the televised fights will end quick, but I see most of the untelevised fights lasting at least into the 2nd rounds of their fights, so even if there is a little air time left, the undercard fights mightnot even fit into that time frame.

We aklso have to expect some kind of movie trailer to take up air time from the event as well. Which is a real shame.

Our only chance, is everyone sending that letter to spike and hope that they give us the extra hour of air time. But another question we have to ask ourselves is…Will Dana actually payt for that extra hour of air time? Its no secret that UFN events are pretty cheap events and that the fighters on that event don’t make that much money. So, since it probably costs 1/3 of what it cost to put on a pay per view….why not give us that extra hour?

I’m not sure we’ll see what happens but this event could be good for Spike. They could really hype this if they wanted to. Also if I’m not wrong this UFN is launching TUF 7. They could make it HUGE!

So, since it probably costs 1/3 of what it cost to put on a pay per view….why not give us that extra hour?

 Ill tell you why, Dana runs the company.

Edger and Guida should be fighting each other. Regardless I hope the time slots get bump to three hours guess I would like to see as many of these undercards fights as possible.

Even though I won’t get to see this at all as i’m living in England, i’m going to sign your petition cos I love mma mania and love America for giving me the UFC! But if anyone knows where I could watch it live, be it on the internet or some undercover tv station I would be grateful ;-)

I think Guida vs. Fisher would be a good matchup.

 I think Edgar’s stand up is better than Gray’s and I think he’s a better wrestler as well, although Gray certainly can handle himself. I see Frankie winning a decision in that one. Frankie should be in line for a shot at BJ in the fall.

If i were Karo i’d be pissed that i wasn’t the main event.

Two TUFers shouldn’t be ahead of two top tier W/W’s.

Anyway i am ashamed for even finding something to moan about, the card is sick. Like Mike said tho its suprising that Clay isn’t gonna be televised, he’s never in a bad fight.

Considering they are both owned by Zuffa, UFC needs to do a little more of what WEC does for its live events. That means minimal filler. WEC shows brief interviews with each fighter before the fight, but we aren’t left with a 20-minute recap of one guy trash-talking the other three events prior, somebody insulting the other guy’s momma at a press conference, a shoving match at the weigh-in, etc. Less time spent on BS between fights means more time to air fights.

how does Guida lose in a previous main, in which it was a possible fight of the year, to the undercard. so odd. if k-flo has not gotten a title shot yet, how will beating lauzon get him one. winner fights stevenson or huerta? than winner fights for title? not sure what dana/joe silva are doing here.

Kenny Florian is no chump. U forget u fought for the UFC lightweight title and swallowed a gallon of sherks blood in the process. Florian is a game dude who right now has to be ranked higher then Both Huerta and Frankie Edgar.

They should have matched up Edgar vs. Florain, that would clear up some of the mess at the top of the lightweight division.

Then they should have matched up Fisher(who is coming off a loss) against Joe -Lau (who already defeated fishers boy Jens)

And they should have matched up Guida (also coming off a loss) against Gray Maynard.

Why have lightweight fighters who are riding win streaks, sitting at the top of the lightweight division(Edgar and Florian) fight against unestablished TUF fighters. Its a loose/loose situation for Florian and Edgar. They have nothing to gain by defeating Maynard and lauzon, but they have a whole lot too loose by loosing to them.

Guida and Fisher who lost their last fights should have to fight the TUF guys, after all when you loose, you are supposed to have to fight your way back up. Guida and Fisher would still be an upgrade in quality from their recent opponents.

The outcomes of these fights will only make more of a mess out of the tangled lightweight division. The top is pretty clear, Champion Bj vs. Sherk….but after that who is next in line? These fights dont help clear up that questiopn at all.

You missed my point i was simply stating that Karo vs Alves is a bigger fight in terms of the fighters statue in the sport and the title shot ramifications.

However i whole-heartedly agree with the rest if what you say. The Lightweight division is stacked and needs some serious contender vs contender matches to work out who’s gonna get a shot after BJ’s done with Sherk.

You are probably right, that Karo vs. Alves is the more important fight. However the UFC distorts things. They could have not made it a main event because they plan on giving Karo’s title shot to Fitch. Also karo is coming off a boring decision win over Ryo Chonan and Florian and Lauzon usually end fighths. Who knows what the hell the UFC is thinking half the time?

I agree with everything you said

J-LAU BABY!!!!!!!

maybe if huerta is done taking a vacation soon, he will be fighting the Florian or Edgar (assuming they win) for a #1 spot later in the year. Alot of these matchups dont make sense. Edgar should not be fighting Maynard, Why? And Guida on the undercard. But props to the UFC for giving us a beast of a card for free. Im suprised its not UFC 83. And I would rather see Alexander face Wanderlei Silva (both coming off losses) or even Tim Boestch. Or a rematch against Jardine.

FFS!!! How many good fights on the undercard???

GUIDA…ON THE UNDERCARD??? WTF!!!

Spike has to realize what kind of an opportunity they have with this card!

It is a sin for the UFC to have such stacked card and only let us watch four for free. Not that the four we will get to watch are bad but I would love to see them all. They should just make a special extra long Fight Night and show the entire card.

Clay Guida should be fighting Spencer Fisher! Even though Spencer lost to Franky Edgar recently and Guida dominated Aurilo a while back. Guida vs. Edgar would be a sick fight, Guida’s a wild animal and Fisher’s stand up is insane!

I agree that Edgar should not be fighting Gray Maynard. Although he has a lot of fights in under his belt he has beaten the same caliber of opponents Edgar has. Edgar could totally replace Joe-Loz or Florian in the main event. Whoever set up the cards should get a stern talking to.

MMAMANIA, i think that this is a great idea to send emails to spike. Maybe we would get more of an impact if you got all the other MMA fan sites to join in and put more emphasis on it. If they KNOW they are getting the viewers for that time slot, than they will air it. Especially when they know they will get more money for advertisers.
kudos on the idea.
reply to ToeLock, Guida should finish somebody before entering a main card.

If you needed to fininsh someone before ever getting televised, then none of us would even know who Karo Parysian even is….so what sense does that make?

hey!! Gray maynard vs Frank Edgar should be TELEVISED

hey!! Gray maynard vs Frank Edgar should be TELEVISED

Yeah, how is edgar not on the main card, he’s coming off a win over a decent fighter and he his fighting a well known guy. i’m really surpirsed here. really surprised guida isn’t gonna be shown either, though we usually get one extra fight after the main event.

HERES MY E-MAIL VERSION TO SPIKE:

Dear Mr. Spike executive,

      Just so you know as soon as the main event and goldie/rogan wrap up is complete I will be tuning spike off like I always do because other than UFC programming your network sucks. But if your willing to show the whole card I will be willing one time to watch an episode of star trek.
thank you

I also added in my email to spike that if they don’t show that 3rd hour they know they’re just gonna fill it up with and hour of David Caruso taking off his sunglasses, looking down and away and smarting off to a suspect.

God this is so good. Totally forgot Houstan is fighting, and against Irvin, that shoudl be good, bt I see Irvin getting destroyed.

whatta beauty card …ok dana this makes up for the 2 british cards ……please stay home and give big fight cards then u wont hafta feel bad bout rippin people for 49.99…..good FREE card ….dats what i like ……

lmao, great stuff man.

Man this card is so stacked, I cant keep track of the big names I want to see cause there is too many. They need to just show the whole damn thing.

I also added in my email to spike that if they don’t show that 3rd hour they know they’re just gonna fill it up with and hour of David Caruso taking off his sunglasses, looking down and away and smarting off to a suspect.

“Looks like he just punched his last ticket” -David Carusa tough talking a dead body in cSI Miami. lol

I stand corrected. Maybe i should have said Itsw a joke to see him on a main card until he wracks up a few BIG wins in the UFC as apposed to a win every two or three fights. does that sound a lil better. i think so.

That, I can live with!

lmao, great stuff man.

Spike does still show star trek dont they? What a Joke. I am proud to say that I have never seen an episode of star trek, nor have I seen any of the movies….and I am damn proud of it!

New Joe Lauzon interview!
After all of the shit talking and bashing on here lately, Joe Lauzon gives a great interview with no shit talking.

Quote:
PDG: Do you think with your attitude and motivation for this fight you will have an advantage over Kenny — I know lately he’s been high on himself; like he just beat Din Thomas, who busted his knee in the fight, but afterwards Kenny was talking about how he finished a top level opponent?
Joe: I don’t try to go and put off the persona that I am the best. I don’t go around saying “I finish fights.” I’m not going to be the guy that runs around talking about what I did. With Din Thomas, if that was me and I won that fight I would not have been saying that I whooped on him. I would have said it was a good fight going into it and it’s unfortunate about Din’s knee and we’ll fight again. That’s about it. I understand that things happen, and it wasn’t like Kenny did anything to make his knee go out. It was a freak accident. Kenny won the fight and that is all that really matters though. But still, you don’t have to go about bragging because his knee popped out and you got the win.

GREAT line up I can’t wait although here in UK its about 03:00am when it’s on EEK lol

sent two emails the other day and just now i saw that we actually achieved the third hour!!
