I’ve been waiting a long time for the UFC to come to Vancouver. That would be sweet.

Didnt Ramapge “offically” annonuce UFC 107 in Memphis on his youtube clip with THREE SIX MAFIA???!!!!! HAHAHAHAHA. But no seriously, I think that will be the year end show…

It looks like 108 will be the big stacked year-end show on January 2. Rampage and Rashad get it on in December at 107.

Hardy has zero ground game at all, Hughes would go old skool on him for a 15 minute wet blanket UD.

K-Dog…Thanks for your story about bizzzz at 100,I laugh!Your the first guy that came to my mind when he got KTFO!I bet you lol more,than anyone in the Mandalay bay that night!

Did your swine flu get better(vanish)?

Couldn’t have happened to a bigger cock! I was standing up just repeatedly pumping my fist for about 5 minutes whilst shouting “YES” very loudly! That simply made my night, I loved it!

Swine Flu’s still here holding on, nearly got rid. Lucky I’m asthmatic coz I got prescribed tamiflu and that’s really helped shift it. Thanks for the concern.

I’ve responded Alpha, as usual its stuck in mod for no reason whatsoever.

Ahhh, true – I forgot about Diego.

I think Frankie and Diego should fight because personally I dont think Diego has proved he is no doubt #1. Beating Joe Stevenson and Clay Guida doesnt do that much for me.

And lest us not forget that Maynard holds a win over Edgar JJ – however I would rank Edgar higher as well due to competition faced.

I don’t think Diego’s earned it yet either, but it is what it is and Penn/Sanchez would be the biggest and most hyped LW fight ever. I would love to see that fight.

agreed about Diego not earning it over other LW’s but he’s def the right guy for the job and has an excellent record

And Diego-KFlo would be superhyped as well as a rematch.

You guys would pay for anything with a UFC banner attached to it. What options would you have come over here or stay there and watch Cage Rage? It’s not stupid it is the truth, what do you guys do to up the bottom line for UFC? You don’t pay a dime to see the PPV’s. Why cater to free-loaders?

I disagree, UK MMA fans have started to realise that we are part of the UFC expansion plan and as such we deserve big fights….not bisping vs leben (although i did still go :) )

What a ridiculous comment, the UFC makes a lot of money by coming over here as they always sell out and their merchandise is very popular. Right now MMA is a new sport in this country, even most of the fans call it “ultimate fighting”, so making us buy PPVs is not financially viable until the UFC can gain a mass following in this country, as it would have a poor buyrate and wouldn’t make any money, instead they are getting lucrative offers from subscription channels so that the UFC is available to a wider audience and they make guaranteed money from the contract.

The UK is a massive part of the UFC’s global expansion. In order for the company to grow worldwide, they need to cater to fans from other countries, not just the American fanbase. Until these markets become as big as the US, they are going to get better deals in order to attract a greater following. WWE have made millions from international tours and have built up a large following in this country, so their is a lot of potential to make money this way, even the NFL are having games in London because they see how important the British market is.

We pay a lot of money to go and see events as well as subscription fees to watch UFC programming, so we deserve some quality fighters to come over here and fight. The UFC won’t get any bigger over here if they always have the same British fighters (and Marcus Davis) on all of their UK cards because people will get sick of them, we want to see the likes of Anderson and Wanderlei Silva fight on these shows, since 80 there hasn’t been any title fights in Europe so we deserve a big main event. Unfortunately Bisping’s defeat cost us a huge main event but I’m hopeful that this card will still have some big names.

Great post Dave.

British UFC fans are nuts. I include myself in that. I have spent over £1000 since UFC 70 in manchester on tickets, traveling, accomodation, alcohol etc. I havent missed one event in the uk since then. Im sure many other brits can own up to an obsession with the UFC. Free loaders….. Get real. I have certainly spent an awful lot more on live UK events than a huge percent of you guys have on PPV buys. Jog on.

LOL. Solid gold.

I doubt if even Dana is crazy enough to try and sell a Dan Hardy main event….but wait how bout a Hardy vs Davis rematch…..us Brits will love it!!!

I do try double J.

After we were given a main event of Stephenson vs Sanchez, I believe Dana thinks he can give us anything and we’ll be happy.

What p!sses me off is tickets go on sale next week and we have no fights announced as of yet, just the usual UK cans, yet when UFC went to germany, practically the entire card was decided before tickets went on sale.

This is gonna be 95 all over again only worse! The days of us having title fights are long, long gone.

Whaaa, the tickets aren’t free. We pay the same amount for tickets and only get one event a year within driving distance. We pay for all PPVs. That trumps anything you whiners have to say about what you deserve. Bunch of wankers.

lol jays an angry man :)

Wow you sure told us jay, very mature.

Jay’s going for a record of dumbest posts of the day I mean seriously nobody is moaning about the price of tickets to live events and if it wasn’t for the time difference then all of us UK MMA fans would be quite happy to buy the PPVs, but 3am live events of a new sport isn’t financially viable at this point. We don’t get free shows we get them as part of our subscription packages, the price depending on what each provider is offering. Right now the UFC will make more money by putting their shows on TV than they would from PPV buys plus they are able to attract more fans this way, so when the time comes there will be enough people that buy PPVs for it to be worthwhile.

The only thing that any British fans on this thread have asked for is decent cards with the occasional title fight instead of FN or TUF Finale level main events. Look at the criticism of 103, that is the sort of card that is constantly put on in the UK yet it continues to sell out, so we would like to see some bigger names and fights than Sanchez-Stevenson or Bisping-Leben.

Your bitter anti-British crusade is even more pathetic than your copy and pasting of an old John post.

Dave you’re on fire today, i’m agreeing with everything.

David that post was a week or two old, I found it while looking for something that McArthur had mentioned about War Machine. If I thought he was going to take offense to anything he said I wouldn’t have copied it. Also don’t complain about the cards you get, I was at 97 and saw that Leites and Silva crap. Just saying until you pay don’t complain.

FFS jay, just coz we dont pay for PPV’s doesn’t mean we dont have the right to complain when the live shows we attend are sh!t. I’d watch Silva in a dance off with anyone over yet another f@ckink Mick Bizzzzzbing borefest!

Can’t agree with ya Dog. The Silva-Leites fight was the worse thing I’ve ever seen. What does FFS mean? I saw Bisping and talked to him at 83, loved him. I am also a fan of Hardy and busting balls, you guys just made it way to easy today. Shift is almost over so we will have to do this again tomorrow.

Sorry Jay, read it today then your daft posts in this thread so I ended up reading several daft posts from you today.

I’m just glad that a PPV is in the North of England, I’m suprised so few events have been done at the MEN as until the O2 it was easily the biggest arena in this country. Manchester’s close to where my parents live so a show there or at Newcastle, where I go uni, are really convenient for me.

I just want to see some of my favourites and I’m annoyed that Bisping’s poor performance cost me the chance to see Anderson Silva. I still blame the 90 and 97 debacles on Cote and Leites so Silva’s fights still excite me. However, if Wandi is on this card then all is forgiven. Nobody is bashing the card, UK fans like me and attakdog are just hoping for a higher profile show than some of the last English shows as it seems to be the same people fighting over here.

By the way FFS = For f@cks sake, it’s something we say when we get frustrated.

CC’s fighting dos santos at 104 aint he? My days of getting excited about CC were left at 75 in london after Kongo’s 28th knee to the ball sack.

Dana told us that same BS after 95 Double J! I’ll believe it when I see it!

Am holding on to the hope of bj being serious when he said he wanted another quick defence after florian

Bj’s the laziest man in MMA. A quick defence for him’s anything inside 18 months.

who do u want attackdog. Ideal card, keep it realistic tho?

Fedor vs Brock!!!!!!!! Only joking.

I’ve been to every single UK show + Ireland and basically I’d like to see some different names and anyone accept Bizzzzbing, Hardy, Davis, Kelly, Taylor, Etim etc.

I’d love to see AS here, Wanderlai Silva, Chuck Liddell (we’re owed a chuck fight dana), Randy or Big Nog. Just some different faces and a few big names, I think we deserve it after the cr@p we’ve had lately.

I agree we are owed a big fight and a stacked card for once, But cant see a title fight being held in the UK for quite a while. The time difference doesn’t help either with it being mid day in the states. Its all about the ppvs!!!!

We’ve had one at 75 and 80, why not for 105??? He’d have given us Mick Bizzzzzbing vs AS so why not just give us Hendo vs AS. It’s not like AS sells any PPV’s in the states anyway.
