We might bitch about UFC pay-per-view cards being watered down, but fans are definitely going to get their money’s worth on the next free UFC on FOX card. As first reported by MMA Junkie, the December 8th event (venue TBA) will be stacked with three must-see showdowns, headlined by Ben Henderson‘s second lightweight title defense against Nate Diaz.

Diaz has earned his shot at the belt with three consecutive wins over Takanori Gomi (first-round armbar), Donald Cerrone (gangsterish unanimous decision), and Jim Miller (second-round guillotine choke). Meanwhile, Henderson is a perfect 5-0 in the UFC, and just beat Frankie Edgar for the second time last weekend at UFC 150. Will Diaz be the one to stop Bendo’s juggernaut-like momentum?

In other UFC on FOX 5 booking news…

The welterweight inter-generational battle between BJ Penn and Rory MacDonald will indeed be postponed to 12/8, after Rory was forced to pull out of their original UFC 152 meeting due to a nasty gash suffered in training.

And in the light-heavyweight division, legendary banger Mauricio “Shogun” Rua will return from his exciting four-round win over Brandon Vera at the last UFC on FOX card to face hot Swedish prospect Alexander Gustafsson. With five consecutive wins under his belt against tough competition, the aggressive and rangy Gustafsson is widely considered to be a future title contender — and if he can get past Shogun, he may clinch his shot as the next challenger in line after Lyoto Machida.

A fourth main-card fight is expected to be added to the FOX broadcast in the near future. For now, I’m gonna go with…Henderson by unanimous decision, MacDonald by second-round TKO, and Gustafsson by split decision. Your thoughts?

Benson vs Nate for the LW Title
BJ vs Rory
Shogun vs Gustoffson
Shaub vs Lavar "Big" Johnson

WHAT??

Diaz
Penn
Shogun
Johnson

Now that's a pay per view caliber card. Let's hope to God no one gets injured. Would love to see Nate get the title.

Ugh, those fucking DIaz kids.

yeahhhhh those fucking Diaz kids :cool:

I wish the Diaz fuckheads would fuck off and never be heard or seen again.

They are two of the best pound for pound fighters in the world..

Bendo gon fuck guys up.

Doesn't make them any less of worthless human beings. They are really good (dare I say GREAT) at fighting and being pricks. There are a lot of people in prison like that.

lol worthless human beings

Other than providing people entertainment through beating the shit out of people and being proud supporters of the middle finger, what positives do they bring to society? I'm sure they do some form of charitable work (teaching kids with cancer the rear naked choke and how to say "Fuck you, bitch ass mother fucker!" in sign language, etc.)

Everytime I hear "The Diaz Brothers" I think of Tonys boss from Scarface saying that line.

Nick has always been a bit of a spastic but I don't see whats that bad about Nate

Love the Diaz brothers. They are wonderful human beings for entertaining me. Wish every fighter were as exciting in the cage as them.

The Diaz brothers are good people. They're weird as shit, but everything they do outside the limelight is pretty cool.

I don't hate Nick Diaz, I don't hate Nate Diaz. I HATE THOSE FUCKING DIAZ FANS.

I like Bendo a lot too, but his angry Jesus shout outs after his fights are wearing thin on me. The only bad thing about this fight being free on Fox is not seeing Nate flip Henderson the bird as he comes out to Kirk Franklin.

Was it just me or was Nate really shit against Cerrone

I see this as complete one way traffic....

WHAT??

shit, dude! is that one card??? that's the kind of shit i'm talking about. if the pay per views were that good, they could lose a main event and still have a pay per view. fuck it. i'll just continue to pass on the PPVs and tune in for the superior free broadcasts.

btw, i got Nate Diaz over Benson.

Diaz
MacDonald
Gustafsen (should have been in the last Fox fight v. Shogun btw - and not Vera)
Shaub (due for a win and is more versatile than Lavar, i think)

when is this, btw?

This is the full card..

Ben Henderson (17-2) vs. Nate Diaz (16-7) [LW Title]
Alexander Gustafsson (14-1) vs. Mauricio Rua (21-6)
Rory MacDonald (13-1) vs. B.J. Penn (16-8-2)
Matt Brown (15-11) vs. Mike Swick (15-4)

Preliminary Card:

Lavar Johnson (17-6) vs. Brendan Schaub (8-3)
Dennis Siver (20-8) vs. Eddie Yagin (16-5-1)
Scott Jorgensen (13-6) vs. John Albert (7-3)
Ramsey Nijem (6-2) vs. Joe Proctor (8-1)
Daron Cruickshank (11-2) vs. Henry Martinez (9-2)
Tim Means (18-3-1) vs. Abel Trujillo (9-4)

Matt Brown vs Swick will be on the prelim cause they want the HW bangers in Shaub and Johnson on the FOX card..

More solid than 151 that's for sure..
