Carwin/Gonzaga is no main event.

 

Maybe for Ultimate Fight Night...

 

They're really pushing what they can get away with main events these days. Bisping vs Evans, Liddell vs Jardine, Franklin vs Okami

 

They get away with it better on the free UFC numbered shows like Bisping vs Leben, Cro Cop vs Gonzaga

I'll give you Franklin/Okami under the "Really shouldn't be a Main" category but Chuck vs Jardine was made because 1) Chuck draws and 2) They thought it'd be an easy comeback fight for him. Bisping/Evans was a last-minute decision because they couldn't negotiate with Tito for a second fight with Rashad.

 

I'm still going to operate under the assumption that we'll be hearing Rashad vs Rampage for the March PPV because, unless it's a free card (which it won't be because 95 is) this PPV is going to bomb like Hiroshima. Which is a shame because there are some legitimately good fights on it and I'd hate to see talents like Carwin, Miller, Hazlett and others get wasted on a show nobody sees.

A = ATT?

 

Anywho, in regards to the situation of UFC 96's main event a poster on the underground forums that works for Zuffa has shot down Rampage/Rashad for the show so it's either Chuck vs TBA or the buyrate killa of Gonz/Carwin.

A-bomb, ie- Atom bomb, like what we skullfucked Japland with back in dubya-dubya-eye-eye.

 

One of my old co-workers was a half Japanese dude we called "Stone Cold" (there's a later story there) or "Stoney" for short. Anyway, everyone always fucked around with him for a variety of reasons, but his being Japanese was the easiest target. On Pearl Harbor Day, my brother & I made sure to let him know that it was okay: we forgave him and his people for their treachery. He responded with his typical "Fuck you, motherfuckers." On the same subject, we suggested that he nickname his left & right arms "Hiroshima" & "Nagasaki" because he "drops bombs." Somehow, none of this Jap-hating offended him until we started dissing on ninjas one day.

They just announced that Rampage vs. Jardine is headlining the Ohio show during the Upcoming Events section on UFC 93.

 

Meh.

While Jardine getting knocked out is usually fun it's still not much of a main event.

 

With Rampage now busy i guess Machida/Silva has to be for the #1 contendership unless they have Rashad sit out half the year waiting for Jackson.

Are they going to throw Saunders out against a replacement or just shelve that match for later?

 

Also, if Machida does win on Saturday, any chance that Evans-Machida goes on underneath Lesnar-Mir 2 at 98? Or does Dana think that can do buys as a ME?

Official Card (Because this event had a few changes going for it)

 

Main Card

 

Keith Jardine vs Quinton Jackson

Gabriel Gonzaga vs Shane Carwin

Matt Hamill vs Mark Munoz

Gray Maynard vs Jim Miller

Pete Sell vs Matt Brown

 

Undercard

 

Tim Boetsch vs Jason Brillz

Kendall Grove vs Jason Day

Brandon Vera vs Mike Patt

Shane Nelson vs Aaron Riley

Ryan Madigan vs Tamdan McCrory

 

Not a great card at all, really. I'll be hitting the bar for this one to cheer on my boy Jimmy Miller. I did a complete 180 on Gray after the shitfest of a job he did holding Clementi down for 3 rounds.

 

Probably in the minority here but I'm pulling for Jardine because I want to see Lyoto get the first crack at Rashad.

Yeah, that fight is as good as any for proof that Edgar should drop in weight. He was literally bullied around by the bigger wrestler, who is not necessarily better either.

 

I'm still interested in this card, but it's definitely lacking in star power, that's for sure.
