| Forrest has been getting his ass handed to him lately no need for him to be embarrassed on national television. Let him stick to the new guys for now. | |

If lately means his last fight and his last fight only, disregarding the two he won and looked good in before that then i agree..otherwise your post sucks. | |

| I'm pretty sure there was only 3 fights on this last FOX because that's just how things fell. Just weeks leading up to the card being official Dana was still saying there would be 4 fights on FOX. I think they still go to 4 fights. So now that I'm not using my phone I'll give my 4. Ellenberger-Sanchez is in a couple weeks so the winner could be ready for May 5th, I'll just assume they are.
Hendricks vs Ellenberger(he will beat Diego) for #1 contender Diaz vs Miller Chuck vs Tito Dunham vs Barboza | |

| http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2012/1/31/2760411/ufc-forrest-griffin-tito-ortiz-fight-2012With Tito looking for one last UFC fight before calling it a career, he took to "Inside MMA" to issue the challenge: "Forrest, you know I deserve it, man. Step up. Let's do this. It's an awesome fight for you. I lost my last one. You lost your last one. Let's do this -- unless you're scared!" Griffin responded: "He knows better than that. You know what's funny about me and Tito? The truth is we each consider the other an easy fight. For me, that's the perfect 'get right' fight. Coming back from a bad loss and beating Tito Ortiz up? No problem. For Tito, he's thinking, 'Forrest ain't that good. He's getting old, prematurely. This is a great way to go out, with a win over Forrest!' So, I think it's a beautiful match up because we both think of the other as an easy fight." | |

| I am happy with Dunham-Barboza, Griffin-Ortiz, Miller-Diaz. I think you are giving some vets some love, while promoting the younger cats coming up too. | |

What about the 4th fight? This card was only 3 fights because that's just how it worked out. Multiple times they have said it will be 4 fights, that is suppose to be the deal. If they can get 4 fights they feel good about, they will have 4 fights. Why not Ellenberger vs Hendricks for #1 contender? I think they would produce an entertaining fight and it would bring awareness to both men. | |

| Yeah, I can go with that too. But they do need big names to bring attention to the younger guys climbing up the ladder. | |

| So I guess it's answered that there won't be any higher level fight then Miller vs Diaz. That should be a good fight, but I had kinda hoped it would be the Co-main at best and eclipsed by a something bigger.
Nate Diaz Vs Jim Miller Pat Barry vs Lavar Johnson John Dodson vs Darren Uyenoyama Tony Ferguson vs Dennis Hallman
Looks like room for maybe one of these to be bumped off the FOX portion still. | |

| John Dodson vs Darren Uyenoyama is likely going to be a Flyweight #1 contender match or close to it, so I could see that opening the show. Plus those guys fucking go, would be high energy contest. | |

I didn't say I wouldn't be all for it, or that it wasn't deserving. I'm just saying I doubt the UFC goes in that direction. I could see it as the last fight on the prelims leading into the FOX card. Would still get alot of viewers. | |

How is a possible #1 contender LW fight not high profile? If you don't have a title fight, how much bigger does it get? | |

No I just expected one fight with a couple names, like Ortiz vs. Forrest for example. I like the fact Nate and Jim will be getting alot of exposure and it's a great fight. |

Who's to say they won't be on the card? It's not like it would deserve main event status over this fight anyways. The FOX card is not final, that much is sure. | |
