Tito Ortiz vs Forrest Griffin III :eek:
Rich Franklin vs. Cung Le :eek:
Michael Bisping vs. Tim Boetsch :eek:
Demian Maia vs. Dong Hyun Kim :|

Preliminary Card
Melvin Guillard vs. Fabrício Camões :eek:
Renan Barão vs. Ivan Menjivar :eek:
Constantinos Philippou vs. Riki Fukuda :eek:
Gleison Tibau vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov :|




Silva/Sonnen II was moved today, confirmed at teh press conference.

Aldo's fight is going to UFC 147 in Brazil.

Mercury Bullet 04-24-2012 04:21 PM
Damn, even the prelims would fill out a weaker PPV main card. The main & co-main are worth paying for alone.

Crimson 04-24-2012 08:49 PM
Damn , Ive always wanted to see Ortiz/Franklin for some reason..that coulda been the chance right there

Mr. C 04-24-2012 09:16 PM
With Silva/Sonnen II being moved to 148 and Aldo's next title defense being moved to 147, they should've moved Cruz/Faber III to 149 to even everything out.

Maia V Kym should be pretty cool tbh

Impact! 04-24-2012 09:21 PM
Actually every fight on that card is sick

RP 04-27-2012 04:46 AM
I bet people in Brazil are pissed.

This was hilarious

lol @ Dana. Good shit right there.

Definite bitch move to take Silva/Sonnen II away from Brazil though. Would have been sooooo much bigger there. I guess they just don't want Sonnen murdered by thousands of angry Brazilians after he beats Silva.

there are no hotels for them to use

I hope you are joking. Like, seriously. If this is the real reason they moved the fight then Dana White is the sorriest excuse for a promoter/boss/whatever the fuck he is EVER. He should have booked the hotels WAAAY in advance, he knew how huge this would be as well as what time of year it is.

The UN grabbed up all the rooms because they have a summit going on at the same time. Who do you think is going to take priority in that case?

CSL 05-03-2012 02:34 PM
Bisping/Boetsch was bumped to 149 a few days ago

Didn't realize the U.N. thing. Makes sense now.

My statement about Dana being pathetic is still valid though because he booked the Brazil show to coincide with a U.N. summit.

CSL 05-03-2012 04:22 PM
the U.N stuff was announced after the UFC had already announced their plans. If you don't like Dana or want to talk shit about him, just say so http://www.tpww.net/forums/images/icons/icon12.gif

Thanks alot, you totally summed up my reply for me. Dana sux teh big wunz!~!21`~~~~!!

Crimson 05-03-2012 08:36 PM
lol @ Seph's fails

Dominick Cruz Tears ACL

:mad:

MoFo 05-07-2012 03:25 PM
Bispings fight got moved off this too ffs

Mercury Bullet 05-07-2012 03:32 PM
They're stripping the card down now. I hope the move Renan Barao in vs. Faber for an interim belt. An ACL is going to take a while to heal. I normally don't like casually passed out interim belts but I think one is warranted to keep this card big and considering Cruz will be gone 8-12 months or longer.

Jordan 05-07-2012 04:23 PM
This really sucks about Cruz... really bad news

I wouldn't be surprised if Urijah fought for an interim title not just for competitive purposes, but because he's more marketable as a champion than Cruz. Plus that fight would get an all new round of hype and trash talk when Cruz comes back and it's "champion" vs. champion.

Mercury Bullet 05-08-2012 01:20 AM
Yeh thats why I'm hoping for Faber vs. Barao. I think its an awesome fight and both guys are marketable as champions. Alot of people see Barao as the bantamweight Jose Aldo. I don't think he's quite as sharp as Aldo is but he's still very good.
