I wouldn't want Herb Dean calling one of my fights. He'd have tried to call the Alexander-Silva fight after Houston's big takedown.

Yeh I'm not a big Herb Dean fan either...a nasty staredown is grounds for ref stoppage in his book.

New Jersey appointed their own referees and wanted nobody connected with the UFC. The refs all did good jobs and all have past MMA experience. I think 2 of them have previously worked old UFC shows. I'd worry about their doctors though.

Man that fight sucked though (bisping), there were a few snorefests, which is a shame, as I'm a Karo fan, and I think he desrves a title shot, but with performances like that...
He controlled the whole fight, but there was just nothing to it |

It wasn't Bisping's fault is sucked mate. The live crowd was turning on Evans according to a couple of people I know who were there. Just a bad show.

That should never have been a main event. 5 Champions in the company and you cant have one title fight every ppv?

This is why you can't have title fights on every show. And Zuffa should have got a deal with Tito Ortiz signed first before they planned the show. |

I agree that a title fight on each show would be better, or at least a number 1 contender fight on each show. That's 10 main events right there. But obviously right now it's kind of hard to when you only have 2 active champs |

I recal a PPV that had 2 titles fights on it. I know Tim Sylvia sucks ass, but still, there should not be 2 title fights on one PPV.

Totally agree with that too. Only time I had no problem with it was when the winners of TUF 4 were meant to get title shots on the same show and that didn't happen eventually.

The only guys I was interested in for the last show were Karo and Housten, now I admit to being a casual fan and most of my knowledge of UFC comes from those UFC unleashed shows that are on Bravo, but they were the most exciting fighters to me personally based on what I've seen them do. I would think that they should be trying harder to get me as a casual to want to watch it, when it's Rampage Vs Chuck, I'm there, when it's Griffin Vs anyone, i'm there. But Bisping/Evans just doesn't set my world on fire. I know they need to build potential stars, but I think they are choosing the wrong type of people for the job |

That's exactly my feeling. TUFers aren't necessarily stars. Yeah good fighters but just cuz somebody was on TUF doesn't mean they should headline a mediocre PPV. Try to put a title fight or a name on a card. Hell, had it been Rashad vs Tito 2 I would've been more interested. Tito vs Bisbing would've been something. No I'm not really a Tito fan but the guy creates a buzz. Last edited by Stickman; 11-23-2007 at 01:00 PM. |

O NO... From Meltzer
UFC's biggest grudge of the year is off It was announced officially today that UFC welterweight champion Matt Serra suffered a herniated disc in his lower back in a freak training accident on Monday and after being examined, pulled out today of his match with Matt Hughes, scheduled for 12/29 in Las Vegas. |

Matt Hughes was offered a fight with Jon Fitch on the show. No decisions are gonna be made on replacement fighters or the title situation until after the weekend.

That would be a fantastic fight and Fitch would win, but i really would love to see GSP say fuck it and ask for the fight. Just to see the 3 and final fight between those two.

Wow, lol. So now Serra will hold the record for longest welterweight champ and not even defending it...well i'm joking but still. That's what they get for holding him out for so long ..hopefully they find a suitable replacment.

And remember it was UFC who booked it for December. They could have did this 4 months earlier easy.

I think if they're gonna create an 'interim' Lightweight title, they should do the same here. Have Hughes vs. Fitch for the Interim Welterweight Title and then defend it against Serra promptly upon his return.

Hughes/GSP should take place in Canada. There would be an insane amout of heat for it.

I think GSP will take him. I hope so at least. Although I still really want to see Serra vs Hughes, there is no telling if that will happen for a long time now.

It's gotta happen once Serra gets back. Either he fights Hughes first or fights GSP then Hughes whether it's a title fight or not. HAS to happen. To be fair, Dana always puts on the big fights.

Interim Title match as well. Good. Serra vs. either will be a good match on down the line also.

GSP better get on him and knock him out like before because guys who take short notice fights dont do to well when it gets into the fourth and fifth rounds
