UFC 99: The Comeback
« on: March 03, 2009, 08:10:39 PM »
Just got the press release in my inbox minutes ago.

Titled UFC 99: The Comeback, the main event is confirmed as Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei Silva at a catchweight of 195lbs.

The only other info is ticket prices: €250, €150, €85, €70, €55 and €45, all which will go on general sale starting Friday 13th - though UFC Fight Club memebers will get to snag theirs from the 9th.

If I hear anything more about the event / card, I'll update accordingly.

[UPDATE] by Nick Thomas - The rumors so far are:

- Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei Silva
- Spencer Fisher vs. Caol Uno
- Mirko Crocop vs. TBA
- Marcus Davis vs. Dan Hardy
- Mike Swick vs. Ben Saunders
- Heath Herring vs. Cain Velasquez
- Alan Belcher vs. Alessio Sakara
- Mustapha al Turk vs. Todd Duffee
- Stefan Struve vs. TBA
- Paul Taylor vs. TBA

Not too bad a line-up. CroCop will be interesting depending on who he fights.

Herring/Valesquez should be good.  Hopefully Heath can test this guy a little.

Yeah, i think Herring might be the fight too.  Herring is a stepping stone these days..

I'm surprised Heath Herring is still alive after that massacre he took at the hands of Brock Lesnar.

Yeah that's the problem sometimes dude shows up sometimes he don't.  Either way wasn't a whole lot he was gonna do against that vanilla gorilla.  Not pickin Heath but I really can't see Velasquez walkin through him like he has the rest.  Should at least be interesting.

Did I miss where Mirko resigned with UFC? He isn't listen on their roster. At all.

Crocop vs. Wandy would be awesome, but it won't happen! That is one fight I hope Dana puts on! Let Wandy get back for getting ktfo
