You can tell how much buzz this one is creating with my starting this thread on a Thursday. Not a lot of big names but some intriguing fights on here:

- Big fight for Mir if he wants to stay at the top of the HW division
- Bader and Little Nog have the "next step" fight.
- Lytle and Serra rematch. Neither one of these guys is capable of having a boring fight.
- Dunham looks to take the next step as well. This kid has lots of promise.
- Melvin and Stephens should be a stand up war. Somebody will get KTFO

Venue: Conseco Fieldhouse
Broadcast: Pay-per-view and Spike TV

•Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic vs. Frank Mir

PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)

•C.B. Dollaway vs. Joe Doerksen
I have to pull for Doerksen because his nick name is "El Dirte". Reminds me when Joe Dirt added an "e" on his name and pronounced it Joe Deer-Taay.
•Joey Beltran vs. Matt Mitrione

PRELIMINARY CARD

•Pat Audinwood vs. Thiago Tavares
•Steve Lopez vs. Waylon Lowe
T.J. Grant vs. Julio Paulino

man, this card may not have huge names, but im seeing some very interesting fights

mir and cro cop are two of my favorites...like you said, bader and lil nog fight to move up a tier...lytle and serra is going to be wild...dunham looks to be legit, beating a tough guy like sherk will be huge for him...melvin-stephens=fricking blood bath

i for one am looking forward to this

•Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic vs. Frank Mir...MIR
•Ryan Bader vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira...LIL NOG
•Chris Lytle vs. Matt Serra...LYTLE
•Evan Dunham vs. Sean Sherk...DUNHAM
•Melvin Guillard vs. Jeremy Stephens...GUILLARD

Are Mir and Cro Cop considered top 25 P4P MMA fighters? Also is that the same Mark Hunt from K1 back in the day?

I would say no and yes to Mark Hunt.
Top ten in the division.

White said something about the buyout of Pride that he owed Mark Hunt some fights in the UFC.

He made it seem to me that he doesn't want to be in the UFC, like being here didn't matter to him and he didn't like it. You don't want to be in the UFC brother? Okay. We're working on long term stuff, where guys can live and fight under this brand forever and continue to make money, even after they retire. Being in the UFC is a very big thing for a fighter. Some guys 'get it' and appreciate it and some guys don't. The guys that don't, I don't have time for -- and you won't be around for long."

because Cro Cop hasn't done shite in the UFC.

His most impressive win in the UFC is over Barry. Barry was beating his arse until he broke his hand and foot.

Would you say they are at least top 25 P4P in the UFC? If not how do they headline a PPV?
