The official weigh-in event for UFC Fight Night 20: "Maynard vs. Diaz" is now on the books, having taken place today (Sun., Jan. 10, 2010) at the Patriot Center on the campus of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
All 22 fighters made weight without incident.
In fact, other than two fairly fierce staredowns between headliners Gray Maynard and Nate Diaz and between welterweights Jesse Lennox and Rick Story, there were very few incidents to speak of.
Of course, then there was Tom Lawlor somersaulting his way onto stage wearing a rocker's wig, wife beater and karate pants, complete with blackbelt. "Filthy" continues to prove his worth in the entertainment department.
UFC Fight Night 20 features the headline rematch between former Ultimate Fighter (TUF) contestant Gray Maynard (8-0) and eventual winner Nate Diaz (11-4), who sent "The Bully" packing on season five of the cable TV reality show. In addition, TUF 8 champion Efrain Escudero (12-0) takes on fellow undefeated lightweight Evan Dunham (9-0).

This mightve been aldready addressed but
Why is this being held on a Monday night? Maybe as to not compete with
NFL playoffs?

Spike simply asked that it be on that night according to Dana
The real comp is the “Monday Night Raw” thing where McMahon has stacked it with returning guys and tyson. But if the execs at spike rather merge their ratings than have two seperate nights of good ratings, why not.

Merge ratings? WWE is on USA. But you’re on track with suggesting the WWE. Maybe they’re trying to directly compete with WWE with holding an event the same time as RAW.
damn then what the hell is the wrestling shit they got on spike?
I was under the impression that the issue came from both shows being on teh same channel. Just shows how much i know bout the pro wrasslin.

TNA's the Spike TV wrestling show
Raw moved to USA from Spike years ago. This Fight Night will be in competition with Raw though and with Tyson as the guest host it will be interesting to see how the head to head affects the ratings.
"Anderson Silva is the best fighter on the planet...any Anderson Silva fight that is on, people should be buying that PPV, not because he’s my fighter but you know what, he to me is like the Muhammad Ali of MMA...the UFC has been around since 1993, nobody (else) has 10 consecutive wins in the UFC. Anderson has had 10 fights in the UFC, only 1 has ever gone to a decision."

WEC has the better and higher ranked fighters, probly not as exciting stytlistically as UFN
but i rather watch top 10 guys battle it out.

Hmm...
Even though UFC is the “big show” I suppose, I think the WEC card will be much more exciting that this UFN. You have a title fight between 2 dynamic LWs, and the return of former champs Urijah and Mike Brown who will be looking to put on a show againts their opponents up against a Gray Maynard main event who, albeit a great fighter has never been in an exciting fight in my opinion (though I hope he proves me wrong and puts on a show tomorrow). UFC is great and all but I can’t remember the last dull WEC card.

You're right about WEC always being exciting
but from individual fighters’ style i thought this one might have a lot of stalemate positional work (which i personally admire just the same).

How about Tom Lawlor.......
and the wig and Karate Harold Howard get up??? I cant wait to seee his Octagon entrance!!!
Leben...
What are your guys’ thoughts on Leben on the undercard. His personality has always been suspect but his fight are usually entertaining. Love him or hate him he has always been a decent draw for the UFC. I dont know much about silva but I have always liked Leben and would like to see him get back on track tomorrow night.
I was also
disappointed he wasn’t on the main card just because this one will probably be a stand-up war. I’m not Leben fan per se but yeah he does bring it. I think he’s lost his luster a bit after the steroid suspension and his last performance which was underwhelming and his lack of technical stand up was really exploited (if I recall correctly).
by Captain Ernesto on Jan 10, 2010 7:04 PM EST up reply actions
He has basically stopped caring about fighting right now, too many issues in his life.
I think he gets finished here and gets his walking papers. As far as athleticism and explosivness, you won’t find too many who stack up with Jay Silva.
