Why is Mark Hominick vs. Eddie Yagin on the main card but Mark Bocek vs. Matt Wiman not?

I know it’s all gonna be shown anyways but kinda wack considering that they’re both coming off wins.

P4P TOP 5 1. Nick Diaz 2. Nate Diaz 3. Fedor 4. Overeem 5. Junie Browning … Also Nate AND Nick will both be champions of thier respective brackets. Dont Fuck With Mean Mug he will make you slob all over your most hated fighters knob 209 BITCHES!!!!!!

Bocek fights don’t exactly scream “exciting.”

His last wasn't all that good, but his fight with Bendo was great.

And his sub over McLovin’ was awesome.

Good point.

Though actually, since this card is so young, we don’t know what other fights will be announced. I would be rather shocked if they risked putting Big Ben on another main card after his near-death-via-exhaustion against Hunt.

None of those fights are main or co-main worthy, either. They’ll get at least two big fights for this card, and things will be swapped around.

hmmmm

Good point about Rothwell , he’s a liability .

Bocek’s fight with B. Hendo was exciting b/c of B. Hendo. like every time B. Hendo’s fought in the UFC.

Not sure that

Che mills is qualified to co-main a fuel or fx card let alone a ppv…Main event Mir vs Cain or Jones v Shad/Hendo

OnJan 14th Chad Mendes will handily defeat Jose aldo, GUARANTEED
Chris Weidman IS a future UFC MW champion

by JonBon Joey on Jan 6, 2012 12:03 AM EST reply actions  

yeah, i agree all around.

Good call on Mir-Cain match-up for this card.

the maint event should be.....

watching paint dry between red paint and blue paint, canadians seem to love watching paint dry since they support gsp.

Top 5 most boring fighters to watch p4p:
1. Jake "Mr. Snuggie" Shields
2. G "what's the Rush?" SP
3. Jon Fitch
4. Gray "lets cuddle?" Maynard
5. any wrestler w/ the same fight strategy as #1-4

I think they're waiting to see what happens between Evans-Davis match-up.

If Evans wins, without injury, I think they’ll put him on this card vs. Bones.

If Davis wins, they’ll most likely put Dan Henderson on this card vs. Bones.

I think I may know someone who could sell out a Canadian venue, and do it in brutal fashion

This guy needs a fucking title shot. Who else has done this to Steve Nelmark

If the event were held in Calgary

I’d agree with your choice of Jim Neidhart.

by Wonderjudas on Jan 6, 2012 10:43 AM EST up reply actions  

Is that really the main card?

Unless they have a blockbuster main event this will not do well on ppv.

by detroit_fan on Jan 6, 2012 1:24 AM EST reply actions  

I could see hendo in the main event, or maybe Jon Jones if he's done resting.

Too bad Rory didn’t get a more high profile opponant tho I suppose he has nothing but time. If Mills has to pull out BJ is looking for one more beating.

yes it is

the biggest name on this card so far is rory macdonald…what is the ufc doing here it makes no sense…why hold a card just for the sake of holding a card…i mean its sooo watered down, it weakens the perception of the ufc being the elite mma company in the world…if i wanna see fights like griggs vs browne or schaub vs rothwell i’ll just hit up a bar in alabama…anyone that says this is shaping up to be a great card is lying to themselves and probably don’t know shit about mma…

by iceman_33 on Jan 6, 2012 7:24 AM EST reply actions  

I'm sure it will thicken out as more fights are announced

Basically there is 6 fights announced. They need about 5 more. If they add 2 or 3 solid fights they’ll bump some of the bouts from the “main card” to the undercard. They won’t stiff Canada like this.

Exactly

This would be enough time for Jones to turn around and defend his title against Hendo or Shad like everyone else is saying

by marcbjr2 on Jan 6, 2012 11:34 AM EST up reply actions  

mcdonald’s “comeback against a guy he should beat” fight.
fireworks with Tr. Browne vs Griggs.
Hominick looking A+ against a guy you’ve never heard of.
Rothwell vs Schaub – could be mid-level entertaining.

i’d rather see Bocek vs Wiman on the main card.

beyond that, and i’m not a big “put name fighters on the main card” kinda guy, but this card is “meh” if you’re not Canadian. seriously.
and waiting around 2 1/2 hours for the main event is hardly what i want to do.

Gatti. Dekkers. Pele. Aoki. Kang. Vanderlei. Basillio. Harry Greb.
