I was hoping to see Mirko on this card but I guess he's not completely healed from his surgery.

is it free on spike tv. thats the only way this would be worth watching

[Bluto]

with the number of shows theyre planning... in the usa... in europe... in canada... they'll have a hard time making great cards i think
if they can show it on spike and if the ticket prices go down it can still be a good thing but that card for newcastle isnt much of a card compared to the one in london that had hendo and rampage headline it

yeah it seems the ufc is spreading themselves to thin. they just don't have the figthers to be fighting every month or so. i would rather see them wait for 3-4 months and but an awesome card together. a tournament would be cool

more money in doing it frequently like this... but it'll be quanitity over quality... im no big fan of tournaments due to the randomness of it and the higher risk of injury...

Swedish standout Per Eklund will fight TKO lightweight champion Sam Stout on the undercard of the Jan. 19 UFC lightweight title fight between B.J. Penn and Joe Stevenson, Eklund's manager, Manos Terzitane, confirmed with Sherdog.com.

i like watching stout. he's a pretty entertaining figher. as is fisher

[Benny B]

I can't see Stevenson getting anything out of fighting B.J. Penn other than an ass whoopin'.

"The heavyweight division also features a British representative on the night, with Colin Robinson squaring up against Antoni Hardonk in a mouthwatering battle. "

was that the fight arloski punched him when they were locked up on the ground and the ref stopped for a second
