Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2009 That's gotta be a joke. A guy who's 2-2 in his last four versus a guy who, up to this point has only been on prelim's with one being shown back in May? Fuuuuuuck that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Youth N Asia 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2009 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.

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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mik 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 They just announced that Rampage vs. Jardine is headlining the Ohio show during the Upcoming Events section on UFC 93. Meh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gert T 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2009 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?

Mik 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 Main card below and also in original post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2009 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.
