This is huge, big for the UFC. HW title fight is the ideal candidate.

I agree. 2 great fighters also. They wont let the UFC down.

Rare time in history where the #1 HW is fighting the #2 HW for the UFC title.

Yeah, I'll agree with that.

Well it's factual information

No facts in rankings

I guess everybody can shut the fuck up about Abu Dhabi now.

Hell naw, they fucking owe me.

Judging by the first two Pac vs. Marquez fights you'd think the fight would be another barnburner but I have my doubts. Marquez is approaching 40 and Pac is a Super Sayian at Welterweight.

This could be the night that the balance shifts ultimately in MMA's favor.

God damn, it just fully hit me that I'm gonna get a couple hours worth of Facebook prelims, into the two most skilled HWs on the planet fighting for the belt, into fucking Pac-Marquez III

Ka-boom Ka-boom

and you know damn well even after this that people will say "what about our payback for Abu Dhabi?"

Thats why they should name this event UFC on Fox: Sorry about Abu Dhabi.

Just clicked for you? MONSTER night for fights. EPICNESS.

I hope someone asks on the call about all the other fights? Five hours of facebook would not be ideal.

Cause I still need my freebie. I need it to be very specific. I need a formal letter from Zuffa addressed to me that specifically says this is your makeup fight. I won't settle for anything less. I think I deserve it.

Speculation is that it will be like a 9-10 fight card and not a full one but don't think they have any other options besides Facebook. They can't go Fuel or FX with the Spike deal

Or can they? They can go on FOX with the Spike deal is seems.

Haven't they already used Fuel before? Or was that just ION?

They already had something worked in about being on Network TV I think. Its cable that they can't fuck with except with the deal they worked out for limited fights on Versus. I don't think they will be able to pull anything off here

Ion was legendary

Would be the most EPIC night ever if they somehow pulled off a 1 time deal with HDNet for the prelims. Fuck it put Strikeforce on those gloves and put them on Showtime! How do you like that SF pub Wolfman?

Dana: It's a Catch-22 for me. I want Bob Arum to do one buy, but I want Manny to do 3 million buys.

Dana: "This is our Forrest Griffin/Stephan Bonnar, now on a massive platform... I'm betting everything that these guys are going to deliver"

David Hill of FOX: This is like us getting Ali-Foreman.

I don't think anything is absolute with Spike other than they have a certain amount of shows on contract. In the past year alone Zuffa owned fights have been aired on 4 other cable channels not named Spike.

Another silly idea. Have a SF undercard that is on either HDNet or Showtime that leads up to the UFC fight on FOX. Televised Zuffa fights that could still help promote eachother.

you guys listening to this where?

Just getting updates on twitter. There was no radio coverage.

Hendo vs Shogun...fingers crossed

Shogun's camp was apparently saying they didn't have enough time to be ready for Fox. Doubt one week later will make a huge difference

Tito-Ace with a bunch of other decent fights on main card but it won't sell that well
