may 28th!!!
i hate waiting so long inbetween fights...wasnt so bad when you had WEC and STRIKEFORCE as independant organisations...this is why the merger is BS!
more fighters my ass,how many fighters has dana cut or not using since the whole merger.
dana white has the saying 'less is more' the wrong way around...more fighters,less fighting
i think its good. better quality cards and strikeforce is still going on every month or 2. fedor vs. hendo whats, hw gp. its all happening man. remember not so long ago ufc shows were like 2-3 months apart!!!!!
strike force isnt putting on any less shows than before they just never put that many to begin with
yeah i think last year there was a shitload of events, two weeks apart most of them
I want to know what is happening with the strikeforce HW tourny. I hope DW hasn't binned it to protect Cains status as #1 HW.
ur ****ing stupid. its all scheduled for next month
Well thanks for informing me. But how does not being aware of that make me stupid?
@ 7damia31
Wow, so agressive, and so quickly. I don't even wanna know what your life is like to make you be like that. Good luck with everything.
you tried to troll and failed...I'd be embarrassed
true that was abit much. my bad. i just get annoyed when people seem to mindlessly hate on UFC. check wikipedia first, its got it all.
its still on i tink
What the ****ery?! Thiago Alves on the undercard?
I think the fight between alves and story should be main card. And the stann-Santiago should be prelims
Big Country's amazing gut is rivaled only by his amazing mullet. What a sexy man.
I can't think of any rivalry this exciting, simply because we have no idea who's gonna win by now. Even Penn vs Hughes III was a result we could all see coming.
Good luck to these boys, and Gilbert Melendez and Eddie Alvarez if you're listening, until you face one of these boys you can't be anywhere near that no1. in the world spot
cody vs bart best fight on the card!
Apart from the Edgar fight, I think Brian Stann is one to keep an eye on - he was super impressive last time out.
does unaired prelims mean FACEBOOK cause i def wanna watch prelims on fb again.
This card is stacked !
