I might actually be going for Jason Day now, I think Day could school Leben so...

if i paid 200 bucks to see a UFC i wouldnt be disappointed because Leben was off the card. Liddell is another story. I can see the frustration though



Yeah im not annoyed because Leben is off the card, it's just when so many fights are changed/canceled it starts to take the piss. (i know it's not the UFC's fault so i have no one to blame)

personally I think this is a better match up. I think no matter what would have happened with jail time Leben should have been pulled from this card on principal alone.

I think the UFC has to send the message that they want only the best athletes and best character guys. But this is just me talking and hoping this is how the UFC would want their image to be.

Any who it looks like Bisping will be the favorite in this fight but imo Day should def. be. Wins over Loiseau and Belcher(and it was pretty dominate) stacked up against Bispings win over Schafer and questionable win of Hamill.

I think this match will surprise alot of people and I think it has alot of makings to be fight of the night. But I personally think it will go to a decision im leaning to Day.

Come on Ben, you're getting two extra fights than originally planned and at least it's still a challenge for Bisping.

I think Bisping should take this by TKO mid fight but this is by no means a walk-through.

This card is way above average imo and i would have no problems spending $200. In fact , i wish i could afford to be going and hope you enjoy yourself

WAR BISPING !!!!!!!

You are right, the card is quality, we're getting to see Swick. Davis. Kampmann, Rivera, Rashad, Irvin, Bisping, Vera, Werdum. Alves and Hughes.

Hopefully it'll be a great night, i have to go on my own! what a loser i am.

WAR BISPING!!!!

You said Day was a "s*** replacement" which is completly out of order ...... do you honestly have a better suggestion?

As far as replacements go this is great, he is a striker coming off a big win over Belcher, Bisping hasnt beaten anyone in the UFC as good as Belcher so i see this as a very close fight, power could be the key and i just dont see Bisping having much but Day having plenty, either a Day KO or a Bisping methinks, great fight tho, and great card, the changes have mostly been good, i mean for losing JUST Chuck we now have 2 more fights with Hughes and Alves

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Hardy a WW.

And Bisping just dropped from LHW to MW.

I'll take Day over Hardy as the replacement.
