This card is sick

But this really takes a set back on the whole “3rd UFC event” deal featuring this type of caliber fight.

That and the network TV deal takes a hit I'm assuming.

well Dana is wearing a MTV shirt – maybe that’s a hint

Unless this is

the welcoming the UFC is giving network viewers.

That’s what I was thinking, they could just be making the first network card REALLY stacked. Of course that would mean no PPV in December which would be odd.

Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.

Is it wrong that I was more excited at the possibility of a UFC network deal than actually seeing this bout?

by drightler on Sep 3, 2009 5:56 PM EDT up reply actions

Nope, the neetwork deal is HUGE for MMA fans, because it means way more fight, and fights for free (more or less).

You don't look like a Tanaka.

Thats what I was thinking.
Also, Rampage vs Evans may not happen on this card.

Good one Dana!

Agreed. I laughed out loud in my office.

sick card!

BJ and Rampage on the same card = automatic buy if its on ppv

by I Can't Feel My Face on Sep 3, 2009 6:10 PM EDT reply actions

I wouldn’t assume this is in Memphis or that Rampage vs. Rashad is happening on this card. There’s lots up in the air.

I guess they let Rampage do the A-Team

looks like it

by The Bronzeville Bully on Sep 3, 2009 6:26 PM EDT up reply actions

This. Rampage may be filming around that time so Penn vs Sanchez may be replacing the Rampage vs Evans main event.

by MMASuPreMaCy on Sep 3, 2009 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions

Meltzer had the real story on the A team this week. Apparently he approached Dana and told him he’s in the running for the part. If he got it it would be hard to turn down, it’s a life changing role in a huge film with other stars, and will get a ton of press. But it would delay Rampage vs. Rashad if it happened.

by Michael Rome on Sep 3, 2009 6:26 PM EDT reply actions

Also, I don’t think the TV deal is dead. It’s very possible they just chose to wait until early Dec to do a show rather than do 3 in November.

by Michael Rome on Sep 3, 2009 6:32 PM EDT reply actions

whoa!

and people were crapping on this card, I wouldve bought it if gonzaga fought Kevin jordan 10x before the bj main event anyway

Speaking of networks...

did anyone watch bully beatdown last night? that dude was 6’3 230 with a solid wrestling base. If he knew any submission D he could have taken the full 5G. Landed some good shots too, but didnt know what to do about kicks. Sign him up! MMA needs all the HW’s it can get

Dont get down on Forrest, no one has moves like Anderson Silva.
