The Tito vs Dana boxing match was meant to have taken place on the 20th of OCT but i've search everywhere and cannot find the result, maybe it got called off.( it would be funny is Tito got knocked out by his boss.
Bisping is fighting at the Tuf 4 finale against Eric Schafer .

Just been on the UFC website and they've added a few more fights for Lidell vs Ortiz 2, the pit bull is back,Arlovski vs Cruz and Forrest Griffin is fighting Keith Jardine, should be a good UFC 66, especially if chuck leather's tito.

Not on television, no. You can get DVDs in the usual places though, right next to the UFC stuff. Or just search around the net.

The CroCop/Silva fight can be watched here...

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/250437...conflict_2006/

Kind of undermined the talk of a Silva/Liddell match a bit.

Cant believe this thread's been going for two weeks and I didnt find it. Im a huge MMA fan.

Here's the cards for the next two UFCs (rumored on MMAWeekly.com.. theyre usually 99.999% correct).



UFC 65: November 18th @ Arco Arena, Sacramento, California

Main Card Bouts:
Matt Hughes vs. Georges St. Pierre (Welterweight Championship)
Tim Sylvia vs. Jeff Monson (Heavyweight Championship)
Brandon Vera vs. Frank Mir
Joe Stevenson vs. Dokonjonosuke Mishima
Alessio Sakara vs. Drew McFedries

Preliminary Bouts:
Nick Diaz vs. Graison Tibau
James Irvin vs. Hector Ramirez
Brad Imes vs. Antoni Hardonk
Jake O'Brien vs. Josh Shockman


UFC 66: December 30th, Las Vegas, Navada

Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz (Light Heavyweight Championship)
Andrei Arlovski vs. Marcio "Pe de Pano" Cruz
Nathan Marquardt vs. Dean Lister
Forrest Griffin vs. Keith Jardine
Chris Leben vs. Jason MacDonald

Prelims TBA



UFC 65 looks (IMO) to be the biggest, most loaded card in UFC history. Each of those bouts could be show stealers, and Im certain that GSP is going to beat Matt Hughes for the title. Id love to see that happen like I loved Anderson Silva beating Rich Franklin.. No disrespect to Ace but domination like Franklin and Hughes for their titles isnt good for the sport imo.

I agree, I was happy that anderson silva beat franklin, I had a feeling he would because when he beat lebin he looked top quality and franklin has never fought anyone with such accuracy. I also want GSP to beat hughes, he has a great take down defence, which will mean hughes has to stand up with him, then there is only one winner.

PRIDE FC is on Eurosport (perhaps Eurosport 2) occasionally. Cage Warriors FC is on TWC (Sky 427) weekly and repeated most days - this is where Michael Bisping, Martin Kampmann, Ross Pointon and others are/were found. Old International Fighting Championship shows are on All Sports (Sky 444) most days. Cage Rage is usually monthly on Sky Sports.

Incredible ending wasn't it! That was a great fight, the main event was a letdown though. Those 2 were too evenly matched.

Actually, I'd say Chuck wouldn't last a minute against CroCop in that form, who is second only to Fedor imo.

It was a semi final open weight Grand Prix match. CroCop went on to win beating Josh Barnett in the final.

Chuck/Silva would be harder to call.

Im so glad that GSP demolished Hughes. Ever since TUF 4 when they were in the restaraunt and Hughes was being disrespectful to GSP I wanted him to get smashed. The guy has the biggest head ever, I suppose after so many years unbeaten he would have though!!!

GSP didnt just win the fight though, he ruled it and never got troubled at all. Brilliant fight.

Just found this thread, I watched it last night GSP easily beat Hughes I was disapointed actually after all I had heard about matt hughes being one of the best fighters ever.
Any news on Mike Bisping fighting, I'm sure I saw an ad for a UFC fight with him in a week or 2 ago but haven't seen it again.

I knew he'd beat him......GSP is a much better fighter, hughes is pants at striking, so GSP just picked him off.....hughes must have known he was in trouble when he could'nt take him down.........your right about hughes in the resteraunt, he acted like a idiot, which gave GSP fuel to beat him.........moving on......lets hope chuck knocks tito out again because I cant stand the guy

Hughes only advantage is taking people down and GSP has a great takedown defence, GSP will become the greatest.

Bisping was supposed to have fought at the TUF 4 finale but couldnt get a work permit.

Petestan, you need to check out all of Hughes' last ten to fifteen fights in the UFC (except for his title loss against BJ Penn). He is easily one of the most dominant fighters in the world and his loss against GSP isnt a good fight for him to be compared against. The better man won last Saturday at the end of the day.

Edit: Check out his wikipedia entry for a better summary of his career: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matt_Hughes_%28fighter%29

cheers danvitale I am farly new to UFC I started whe Bravo started showing TUF3, Mike Bisping is from my town which is why I decided to watch it, but am "enjoying" it however it's certainly not for the faint hearted especially if you don't like the sight of blood as someone else mentioned earlier in the thread and have watched most of what bravo has shown since.

How do the British fights in cage rage on the other free sky channel compare I haven't seen them yet and I don't pay for the sky sports channels so haven't seen anything on them.

Cage Warriors it is that's free weekly (Cage Rage is monthly on Sky Sports), but there's apparently more MMA coming soon. There's an article worth reading here on a brief introduction to UK MMA, which will explain things. Well, you missed out on Bisping in action. For now, one main difference over the like of UFC is the overall spectacle - the production, match-build ups, presentation.
