I was wondering which fights we'd see...here's the latest:

UFC Fight Night 13 Guaranteed Five Televised Fights -- MMAjunkie.com

Quote:

An ultra-stacked UFC Fight Night 13 event will, in fact, run three hours and will include five — possibly even six — televised fights.

UFC.com today released an updated fight card. As MMAjunkie.com (UFC News & Rumors - MMA News - UFC Fighters - UFC Event Recaps and Previews - MMAjunkie.com) exclusively reported earlier this month, the event will run three hours. Televised bouts include Kenny Florian vs. Joe Lauzon, Thiago Alves vs. Karo Parisyan, Tim Boetsch vs. Matt Hamill, Nate Diaz vs. Kurt Pellegrino, and Houston Alexander vs. James Irvin.

Additionally, while a Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard fight is currently listed as televised on UFC.com, MMAjunkie.com was told by a source close to the event that it’ll likely be a swing bout that’s not guaranteed TV time. It’ll be worked into the live broadcast time permitting.

UFC Fight Night 13 takes place April 2 at the Broomfield Event Center near Denver, Colo.

The event features a record 12 fights — and it’s possibly the deepest fight card in Spike TV history. In fact, the card is so deep that MMA fans began an email and letter-writing campaign to Spike TV to formally request that the event run three hours instead of the normal two. While thousands of people followed through, a source close to the event told MMAjunkie.com that Spike TV planned to make it a three-hour event all along.

The full card includes:

MAIN CARD (TELEVISED)

* Kenny Florian vs. Joe Lauzon
* Thiago Alves vs. Karo Parisyan
* Tim Boetsch vs. Matt Hamill
* Nate Diaz vs. Kurt Pellegrino
* Houston Alexander vs. James Irvin
* Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard (swing bout; may not be televised)

PRELIMINARY CARD (UN-TELEVISED)

* Marcus Aurelio vs. Spencer Fisher
* Josh Neer vs. Din Thomas
* Jeff Cox vs. Manny Gamburyan
* Samy Schiavo vs. Clay Guida
* Roman Mitichyan vs. George Sotiropoulos
* Anthony Johnson vs. Tommy Speer

Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard as the swing bout instead of Marcus Aurelio vs. Spencer Fisher?

Why wouldnt it be? Edgar is a legit title contender and Gray was on the TV show, Aurelio is 1-1 in the UFC and Fisher is something like 3-3 or 3-4?

Yeah, though I enjoy watching Fisher's fights, I'd rather see Frankie Edgar get another W.

* Samy Schiavo vs. Clay Guida Come on not on main card! WAR!

Also be intresting to see the TUF fighters show what they can do , From the TUF Series.
* Roman Mitichyan vs. George Sotiropoulos
* Anthony Johnson vs. Tommy Speer

I really hope they play Edgar's fight. Definitely on the toes of a title shot if he wins.

It's 3hours the show so maybe they will show up to 7fight.

Hell yeah that so true. Don't think about that. Last time they have so much commercials.

If this were a PPV, I would buy it. Anyone with me? I mean seriously, those of you who bash Dana White, and Lorenzo and Frank..... at least thank them for this wonderful gift they are giving us on free tv!

Thank you Dana, and thank you Spike TV! WAR LAUZON!
