UFC 139 Fight Card Shaping Up

http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/9/11/2418977/ufc-139-fight-card-shaping-up

The UFC 139 card was expected to feature a UFC heavyweight title matchup between Cain Velasquez and Junior dos Santos, but that bout was moved up a week onto the UFC on Fox card. Instead, the UFC has decided to go with a main event featuring Vitor Belfort and former Strikeforce middleweight champion Cung Le. And yes, it has been confirmed that it will be the main event. Le is a local San Jose legend that is a huge draw in the city, but it's still a bit of a head-scratcher to say the least. The co-main will be a de-facto number 1 contender's matchup at bantamweight with Urijah Faber taking on Brian Bowles. In addition to the seven bouts announced so far, it is expected that Jon Fitch will compete on this card as well, though an opponent hasn't been decided as of yet.

Nov 19th, live on pay-per-view from San Jose, CA:

Vitor Belfort (20-9) vs. Cung Le (7-1)
Brian Bowles (10-1) vs. Urijah Faber (25-5)
Martin Kampmann (17-5) vs. Rick Story (13-4)
Ryan Bader (12-2) vs. Jason Brilz (18-4-1)
Stephan Bonnar (13-7) vs. Kyle Kingsbury (11-1, 1 NC)
Rafael dos Anjos (15-5) vs. Gleison Tibau (23-7)
Tom Lawlor (7-3, 1 NC) vs. Chris Weidman (6-0)

Yeah that card is starting to look nice.

honestly tho, any card in the future looks freaking awesome! the UFC is really stepping up their game

anyone spot the promos for UFC on FOX yesterday during the game? i crapped my pants!

Vitor Belfort (20-9) vs. Cung Le (7-1) - AKA might not take over this one..... But it's possible
Brian Bowles (10-1) vs. Urijah Faber (25-5) - Finally, one I've been wanting to see.
Martin Kampmann (17-5) vs. Rick Story (13-4) - Really a toss up right now for me but my mouse was closer to catman
Ryan Bader (12-2) vs. Jason Brilz (18-4-1) - Bader needs to get tuf in this one, no mercy kobra kai.
Stephan Bonnar (13-7) vs. Kyle Kingsbury (11-1, 1 NC) - AKA is takin over
Rafael dos Anjos (15-5) vs. Gleison Tibau (23-7) - Might be close but Tae Bo is a tank.
Tom Lawlor (7-3, 1 NC) vs. Chris Weidman (6-0) - GOAT prospect

Not bad, Faber vs. Bowles will be interesting.

Vitor vs Cung is gonna be great. The rest of the card is a bunch of TUF/Fight night fights. This card needs another big fight on it to be ppv worthy imo.
