no, the ufc NEVER signs guys to only one fight… that was the first fight of his 3 fight deal. His next fight is against Nogueira on August 29th at UFC 102.

they just signed cro cop to a 1 fight verbal deal.

It wasn’t supposed to be a one fight deal but Crocop abandoned the UFC after yesterdays fight.

Randy Couture signed a 4 fight contract b4 his fight with Tim Silvia. #1 Tim Silvia – #2 Gabriel Gonzaga – #3 Brock Lesnar – #4 Antonio Rodrigo Nogiuera. Randy’s contract is up after UFC 102. Get it together JoeDaniel

Vitor vs Jorge is a very great matchup imo. I am also looking forward to the Daley-Hieron fight. Mousasi-Babalu should be exiting aswell.

WHY??? The UFC has on average 2 good fights per card. This card has 7-8 worth watching. Save your money for a weak show?!? Where are the intelligent fight fans at?

THE GREAT FEDOR WILL CONQUER BARNETT WITHOUT MAJOR COMPLICATIONS, A GOOD COMBAT WILL BE BUT THE ATTRACTION IS TO SEE EXPONENT OF THE AMM TO FIGHT TO THE MAXIMUM. FEDOR EMELIANENKO

Is this some kind of sick, tasteless joke?

Good main event and co-main event is decent but the rest of the card is crap. Name fighter vs. a nobody = Affliction MMA.

The UFC has weak fightcards. And ignorant fight fans who only watch what the UFC puts in front of them should refrain from commenting. The card has how many good fights?!? Name one UFC that had a card this stacked, please!

7-8 good fights and not a weak show like the UFC’s production. A REAL FIGHT FAN would know who these guys are.

THE 2 GREATEST FIGHTERS IN THE HEAVEYWEIGHT DIVISION. FROM DIFFERENCE PARTS OF THE GLOBE. AMERICA AND RUSSIA, YOU NO UFC PRESIDENT D.WHITE WILL GET B.LESNAR and E.FADOR to get it on.this is like a rocky dream match.
