While Leben vs. Sakara should be a good fight, I would rather see the Arlovski fight. Maybe part of the reason their not televising it is because of O'Brien. His last performance against Herring wasn't exactly an exciting fight..... However, I agree with T-bone on them televising the Cummo fight... Hopefully there will be some quick finishes, so we get to see it.

I don’t like the attitude of some of the fans who always like to complain. When they say if you had a quick fight that they wished it was longer and if you have a long fight they say you should have beaten this guy quicker. Some people you just can’t please. If it is so easy, they can put on a glove and do it themselves. I’ll watch them fight.

Haha, I like it. I'm always down to see Leben take a whoopin, although I like Leben to beat Sakara. I think both will happen, should be an awesome fight.

Wow, Arlovski's fight will not be shown. That is an absolute travesty and I am personally offended. No one wants to see Chris Leben and Sakara over Arlovski and O'brien, i'm sure that they are both going to be awesome fights but you can tell that the UFC is trying to appeal to the casual fan by showing a potential brawl over a fight that would seem more appealing to us fans. I have been waiting since Nations Collide to see Arlovski fight again and now they are not even showing it. UFC has to step it up on the televised fights.

It was a mistake to put so many big names on this card. They should have moved some of the fights to other cards.

It has nothing to do with AAs performance. It is because he didn't sign a new contract. They do not want to promote him if he is going to another organization.

I don't understand what all of you are complaining about. Don't you listen to Goldie? You can catch all the un-televised bouts @ UFC.com after the event!!

It will be bullcrap if we do not get to see Arlovski fight because he may be leaving the organization. They put him with o brien to slow him down and keep it on the ground so he does not have as much appeal in another org with a loss. They have got to treat their guys better than this or it will get ugly. Tito wants to leave Arlovsky may and Randy definitely will. How many big names can the ufc afford to lose because they do not give more to their fighters.

Very surprised AA is not on the main card.
Josh Koscheck doesn't deserve to be on the main. Nice blow to his ego!!!  |

This is a joke! Leben and Sakara are both undercard fighters, yet they get the nod. This is a direct slap in the face to Andrei Arlovski. This is the same guy that made them lots of ppv money not too long ago, when the UFC were just getting their feet wet into mainstream. And now, he gets the shaft for it on his way out. Fighters of caliber should not be treated this way...

It's not that there are too many big names, it's that less talented fighters are on the main card. The fact that an AA fight is considered an undercard on any event is bogus.
If AA/O'Brien fight ends within the first 2 rounds or by vicious ko in the 3rd, then they'll show it. If it goes to decision, then they won't.
Has anybody heard any new info on Evan Tanner? Is he in shape for this fight? |

I'd like to see Arlovski lay Dana out cold.

The AA fight will probably be boring. Thats what the UFC is banking on. O'brien has boring lnp fights and AA hasn't been AA for a while. His Werdum fight was a "stand and pray" fight and pretty hard to watch. These two guys fighting eachother has all the potential of a snail race. Trust me if anything exciting happens (which I hope it does) then we will get to see it.
I am sure that the UFC is hoping that O'brien wins a boring decision so that they don't have to show AA again and that they can say good bye to him and o'brien can push the record to 11-0.

You said it!
I think it is laid out perfect what a fantastic card!
AA has not been the same fantastic performer and if the guy is not committed to a contract I can not think of one reason why he should be ahead of most of those guys there.
If it was a weaker card I would understand the outrage you guys are voicing but frankly this is a bloody generous card by the UFC!
Im looking forward to this one with the lads if I get to see the AA fight fantastic if not sure the rest of the card will be brilliant!
Support your sport!
