Add Rashad to UFC 83, get rid of whatever his name is or bump Silva. I'm going to UFC 83 and it wouldn't bother me a bit if he got bumped. A much better fight for all. Or grab Lil Nog. Whichever.




Are you going on a time machine?? Im guessing you meant 84.

I suppose they will delay the Evans and Liddell fight to a later date. If they dont, id see Thiago getting bumped back to 85 to fight Rashad and have some new kid come in and fight Mendes (I dont think it will happen though).

Right now UFC 85 does not have a main event, and im thinking Dana should either
1.) re-sign AA and have him fight Heath Herring for #1 contender.
2.) Push Wanderlei and Keith Jardine for main event in 85 (Only about a 2-3 week difference between 84 and 85.
3.) Push Thiago back to fight Rashad and give Mendes someone.

or, and this is definately stretching it here.. lol

Have Cro Cop and Gonzaga rematch!! ... well, wishful thinking anyway

i feel for england fans , i really do. they are getting screwed the worst out of this.
isay either makt it a title match the spider vs okami,
or henderson vs someone
or say the hell with it, add paul kelly or someone to the match,
and make this into a free spike pay per view, we are due one, but still i don't know how you would make it up to the england fans unless i say pass out free programs to each one or make the next venue in england this same place and either deck out a hell of a card for them or make the seats cheaper for them. but knowing the ufc they will screw them



why? they have a channel you can buy that gets them UFC events for free, dosnt matter if its old or new they get them for free, how can you feel bad? just because a england card isnt that good? thats kind of a dumb reason to feel bad, how about people over here having to pay 44$ an event for half of the card that might not even be that great.....how is the UFC screwing them anyway, thats stupid, we used to get the england events for free and now he have to pay for events that have already happened compare that to having a channel that gets you UFC events for basically free and already happened....yeah

i feel bad for those who shelled out hundreds of dollars to go there live, i don't give a damm about those who stay home to watch it on there little tv with bad reception.

i don't think the ufc should tinker with ufc 84 thousands paid alot of money more than any other venue since vegas is the place to get screwed, to watch those fights, the ufc fumbled this, they need to make a deal out, and don't cry they do have money to burn, lidell was a big headline, they won't get the same kind of fight, but big nog vs arlovski, or arlovski vs herring or even kongo might ease it a tad and knowing this would be the lowest pay per view since probably nov they need and should make this one free, and i think they will do just that

Yea, you are right....ANYTHING BUT THAT. The biggest reason I am going to UFC 84 is for Wandy vs Keith. If they move that fight I won't be able to control myself. By the way, I am aware you were being sarcastic but I really want to see that fight at 84.

I heard that James Irvin is rumored to replace Liddell to fight Evans.

you still dont make sense, if the event isnt good they dont have to go, and the people who want to go will go, you havnt explained anything except the fight card, who cares if liddell and rashad arnt fighting each other, terrible main event to have to pay to see or watch on TV anyway, i never said they dont have lots of money, dana could let us all have PPV's for 30$ like back in the day if he wanted to and would make more money but insists on screwing people on PPV's and free events, they now charge 500$ for UFC events so if they dont like the damn event how can you feel bad? they should know ahead of time what the card is and if they wanna go, thats just dumb, no kidding all england events should be free, i wasnt going to pay for this one even with liddell on the card, i dont really like him, i was just gonna watch it at a friends house

Totally not being sarcastic man. I'm definitely going for Sherk and Penn but Wandy and Deaner are a close second.

They have to bring in Lil' Nog...is the only way they can keep Rashad in the main event...unless they alter some of the current match ups.

They could make a re-match between Rashad and Tito. Then they could give Machida Hamill and still ahve it as an interesting main card match.

Nobody else they could bring in to keep Rashad in the main event. Arona wouldn't do it. Babalu wouldn't do it. Not even Hendo could do it (2 losses in a row). Thiago vs. Rashad will not sell a main event. Pretty much they only person currently under contract (Jackson and Forrest don't count) that could main event with Rashad is Tito. The only guy the can bring in from the outside is Lil Nog...due to his Big brother being a champion.

...you know what...would Belfort do it?

I like the way you think. However, like candynuts mentioned Irvin could be a replacement. Link
