UFC 115 : Legends obscuring what is truly one of the weakest UFC cards in memory.

The only legitimate top ten fighter on the entire card is Paulo Thiago. Can anyone remember a UFC card with less world ranked talent? An average Strikeforce big show has more top talent than this.

In 2006 a card with Liddell, Franklin and Crocop would be a mega event that would have the MMA community buzzing. In 2010 it has us scratching our heads. Does anyone here plan on buying this?

no wayt i buy this, but i took some friends to a bar to watch the alst ufc and they had a good time so probably do that again

I'm definitely buying it and can't wait. All 5 fights have action written all over them. Its going to be a hell of an entertaining card

i agree with bobbit.

Fights im looking forward to :
Chuck vs Rich - this will tell us if Chuck is really done or not.
Barry vs Crocop - Who isn't excited for this fight?
Paulo Thiago vs Martin Kampman - Thiago is def top 10 and Kampman is borderline
Rothwell vs Yvel is ehh for me
Condit vs MaCdonald - Condit returns against an undefeated prospect
Tyson Griffin vs Evan Dunham - another fight that should be really competitive, dont sleep on Dunham

They won't get my money but i'm definetly looking forward to seeing some of my favorites in Mirko, Condit, Paulo.

Good thing they are giving away Dunham-Griffin for free. That might be the second most intriuging matchup on the card.

I think it's a solid card, I'm throwing $9 a piece with 5 people, it's not like you have to pay $45 by urself.

Good idea, Dana

Shit Farmer, that is what I am doing! It is actually $5, everyone brings one sports food (I am making homemade tortilla chips and my families 'Amigo Dip'), and BYOB. Sure the night will run me about $20 when it is said and done, but it is still cheaper than BWW (since no one there will bet with me anymore) and the food, drink and company are superb.

Yeah it isn't packed with highly ranked talent but the fights are compelling. I'm looking forward to it...won't buy it though.

So no one else cares that the UFC, the NFL of MMA, who holds 6-10 of the top fighters in every weight class, offers a PPV with a single ranked fighter. They probably have 40+ top ten fighters and they can only stick one of em on the card? One? 1? Uno?


These washed up legends main events have got to fucking go. I love legends matches, but not as PPV main events. Co-mains, sure, free cards, great. PPVs? Naw.


Also, I love CC but watching him gimp around the cage being battered by a younger faster striker is a movie I've seen before.

Paulo Thiago and Tyson Griffin are the greatest fighters on this card. Not good, but I always love seeing Chuck, Rich and Crocop. I'm also excited to see Kampmann and Dunham.

The only reason Chuck, Rich and Crocop won't all lose badly is because two of them are fighting eachother.

Ha! Good point. We do have to remember that Chuck's last two losses were against the current LHW champ and the #1 contender. I think he and Rich can still bring it to lower end top ten guys, but I wouldn't bet on a win. Crocop is straight-up out-of-date in his division.

There is no denying you have a point, none at all. Chuck, Rich, & CC all have names and sell cards. The UFC gives us some pretty damn good cards throughout the years and Joe Silva honestly does a good job with match-ups. A lot of the events earlier this year were pegged as weak or poorly thought out and they ended up being really good cards with exciting fights. The UFC puts on about 30 events a year, so between injuries, suspensions, and scheduled bouts, you are going to get these kind of cards. It doesn't mean they aren't going to be good fights though.

The UFC has put on 17-19 events for the last four years, before that, 10 a year.

glad I got tickets to the nas and damien marley concert so dont have to worry about it.

This would be an awesome card for spike or versus.. I wish the number of PPVs will go down and a good TV Deal comes along .. if there isn't a belt on the line it shouldn't be a PPV IMO.. If that isn't enough ppvs for Dana.. absorb all of the WEC already.. 125 division maybe? 235 division maybe?

I'm a loyal Chuck fan, I will never miss a fight. Doesn't matter if he is like Tank Abbott getting KO'd by Kimbo years down the road. I will forever love the Iceman.

UFC fans should hope this card flops. We don't need 50 dollar PPVs where there are no titles, and no contender match ups.

I'm still praying for a last min injury from Iceman or Ace. I don't want to see my boys go at it. Makes me hate Tito even more(if that is possible).

Chuck being out kickboxed for three rounds by a guy who'd be mauled by a top ten fighter is depressing.


Yo I think I picked Liddell to win by KO. I won't deny how happy I'd be if that went down.

Yeah Chuck has really given me some sad moments as a fan recently. I almost died when he lost to Jardine. I bawled when he got put to sleep by Rashad and wrote my farwell cruel world letter after Shogun.

The most pain I've felt was Randy losing to Brock. I think I cried. Shogun's loss to Forrest and Ultimate 2008 when Mir KO'd Nog and Wanderlei was put down by Rampage were pain too. But Chuck losing to Jardine, Rampage and Rashad sucked too.

I could see Franklin beating Forrest.

OH Wolfy I felt the pain too. You know my hatred for Brock. Love me some Captian America. The fucked up thing is I was like "Ok Randy is doing fine, his speed looks alright, he might do this, he might do this...OH FUCK, OH FUCK, GET UP! NO!!!!!"
