Event: UFC Fight Night 14
Date: Saturday, July 19, 2008, at 9 p.m. ET on Spike TV
Location: The Pearl at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, Nevada

Main event:

205 lbs: Anderson Silva (21-4) vs. James Irvin (14-4)

Under card:

205 lbs.: Brandon Vera (8-2) vs. Reese Andy (7-1)
155 lbs.: Frank Edgar (8-1) vs. Hermes Franca (18-6)
265 lbs.: Cain Velasquez (3-0) vs. Jake O’Brien (10-1)
170 lbs.: Anthony Johnson (5-1) vs. Kevin Burns (6-1)

I think this card is well on its way to being better than the TUF Final 7 card that's happening this weekend.

Damn, I was hoping to get to see the Edgar/Franca fight in Minnesota.

If the “right” fighters win this could really set up some awesome fights. And the card itself isn’t half bad either.

If nothing else the card will make fans think twice about ordering Affliction. There are some intriguing match ups on the card for sure.

I probably will not order it anyway. Thanks for throwin’ us a bone UFC. Do you think we can get them to make it another 3 hour card?

Who is Reese Andy? I can’t recall ever even hearing that name before.

Answering my own question, I found this article over at mmaweekly.com discussing Reese and his background. Octagon debut, huh …

Jake O'Brien?

He’s back?
