Quality job by Shark Fights........
that’s gonna be an interesting show. And for a regional promotion those are a lot of fairly big names in those matchups. I am interested to see how the rest of the card goes and how it eventually turns out. So far very nicely done though.
I don’t remember when drew got released, I was wondering when his next fight was

good names for a regional show
I’m curious what that fighter payroll will be compared to how much the promotion will take in for this event.

This can qualify for a UFC Fight NIght card

It’s a good looking indy card, but five guys who can’t even make it in the UFC does not qualify as a Fight Night quality card.

I will agree thats its a nice card for a regional show and I am always happy to see fighters getting fights but UFC Fight night cards are usally filled with propects sorting out the lower and mid levels of devision and a few B stars Sometimes A Stars in the main event. not filled with UFC wash outs.
I think this card looks awesome. I bounce back and forth between Phoenix and Singapore. In Singapore, MARTIAL COMBAT is really coming into its own.
In AZ, we have Rage in the Cage, which is decent, but they almost never have names that would attract “casual” fans.
Strikeforce Challengers is coming to Phoenix in August. Joe Riggs Vs Louis Taylor.
I’ll be there. I’m psyched for the womens’ tourney, but honestly I’m bummed that SF isnt promoting AT ALL in Phoenix.
Shark Fights is using awesome regional talent. Picking up Jardine, Alexander, and Sokodjou are awesome picks because people (casual fans…not fight-nerds like us) remember their performances and their names.
Remember when Alexander smashed Jardine and then Sakara? “casual” fans went bezerk for him. Point is, these guys sell tickets. Especially at local shows.

![Strikeforce star, Cung Le, tells Fight Hype he wants to fight in the UFC, and more specifically, on the UFC 139 card in his hometown of San Jose, perhaps against Chris Leben:
PC: What's your current situation as far as your Strikeforce/Showtime deal? Could the UFC sign you to fight right now?
CL: I definitely have a different contract than the other fighters. Right now, it's all up to the UFC. There may be some roadblocks with the Showtime deal and the Showtime side of things, but we will see what happens.
PC: When would you like something to be ironed out and possibly fight again?
CL: Ever since I heard that Cain [Velasquez] was going to be fighting in San Jose. I would love to be on the same card
PC: At one point, there was a poll done and a lot of people wanted to see Cung Le vs. Anderson Silva. Not only is there Anderson now, but a lot of guys have emerged in the 185-pound division as contenders, such as Brian Stann, Mark Munoz, Chris Leben and Chael Sonnen. Would you be interested in any of those names? Are those the type of fights you're looking to make?
CL: You know, on Yahoo! Sports, there is a Cung Le vs. Leben thread if there was a cross promotion. Like I said, if the fans think it is an exciting fight for them to watch, I'm all for it.
UPDATE: Chris Leben is now confirmed to be fighting Mark Munoz at UFC 138, so it looks like Cung Le will have to find another opponent.](http://cdn1.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/205493/CungLe_crop_340x234_small.jpg)
