Damnit, knew that was too good to be true

The UFC would lose too much money by making this a free card....even if they only get 150,000 buys. Uncle Dana needs a new Lambo for next week.

With this move I still wouldn't be surprised to see some more changes

Like what type of changes?

The UFC needs to refund everyone who purchased a ticket for 149 as well. I'd be pissed if I bought a ticket for full price when they first went on sale before that whole card got flipped upside down.

Like lowering down the price of the PPV or something

45 fights have cancelled so far this year due to injury.

Also Maynards camp filed a complaint with New Jersey AC about Guidas hair.

My phone is not letting me make a link.

So Wanderlei and his entourage jumped Franklin in an elevator today. Looks like that fight is off now as well and Russow "hammer fists of furry" will be the main event.

And there's video of this elevator mugging LINK

I enjoyed Silva-Franklin Part 1, and after watching the preview show last night, Part 2, and some other matches on the card, have me intrigued.

Interested to see Ace off his layoff, and Silva looks different physically than of late. Plus, the great respect they have for one another..both are usually must-see fighters no matter their foes.

Agreed, and those Brazillian fighters will put on a show.

It's amazing how accomplished, yet underrated Franklin's career has been. Also pretty sad how 3 huge legends are hanging it all up within a couple weeks of each other. Probably won't see Fedor, Tito, or Wandy fight again. Hope I'm wrong though.....

Anybody know any sites to stream it for free. Not worth $60 to watch imo.

That wasn't a knee to the head on the ground? Thought that was illegal?

Rodrigo Damm looks like the love child between Rich Franklin and Forrest Griffin

Spencer Fisher retired. Says he might entertain a fight at 145. Says he's too small for 155.

Crazy to think his first fight (UFC debut) he beat Thiago Alves at Welterweight

SOB you had me with that main event being cancelled. I was thinking this should be about right as this has been a train wreck of a card.
