UFC 108 Discussion **Spoilers during event**

callaway92

For an injury plagued card I think some of the fights have potential to be brilliant!

Channel 417 ESPN at 3 a.m Sunday Jan. 3rd

Here's the card and my predictions.

MAIN CARD

* Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Silva - via a lot of Wrestling
* Paul Daley vs. Dustin Hazelett
* Joe Lauzon vs. Sam Stout
* Duane Ludwig vs. Jim Miller
* Junior Dos Santos vs. Gilbert Yvel

PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)

* Martin Kampmann vs. Jacob Volkmann
* Dan Lauzon vs. Cole Miller

PRELIMINARY CARD (Un-aired)

* Steve Cantwell vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
* Ryan Jensen vs. Mark Munoz
* Jake Ellenberger vs. Mike Pyle
* Rafaello Oliveira vs. John Gunderson

Interesting picks...

Dana tells us these so called "weak" cards usually turn out awesome... so I guess we are in for a cracking night of fights! :rolleyes:

In fairness to it every fight had someone pull out of it, some fights had 2 people pull out of them

Turbo_diesel

Ye real hard to get excited about this event especially after the stacked card they had last year on the 27th. Be good to see Paul Daleys stand up again but other than that...

Lord Muck

Not the kind of end year card we're used to but still very watchable.

Rashad to beat Thiago Silva - rd 2 ko
Hazelett to beat Daley - rd 1 Some leg twisting ankle popping sub
Junior to beat Yvel rd 1 TKO ...there will be blood

I think more or less everyone you think will win will lose apart from the Rashad Evans and Matyushenko fights which I agree.

I think Kampmann will beat Volkmann. After the Daley fight ive a hunch Kampmann will be on a warpath

Yeah it is pro streaming and makes assertions which arent backed by factual evidence but it was the 140k claim which I was more pointing to. The other poster asked what I was referring to.

Not excited by this card one bit, especially if ya compare it to last years Christmas/New Year card

sonic.trip

not the best of cards but there is some interesting fights, the prelimenary card is not great, don't really know any of the fighters.

PADRAIC.M

I see on mma junkie Cantwell vs Matyeshunko is pulled off the card due to Cantwell getting an injury during the week.

MrStuffins

Not as excited about this card as i usually would be for obvious reasons, but UFC have proved time and time again that you don't need Lesnar v Godzilla v Sean Connery in a T.L.C. Triple Threat Cage of Death Match to have an exciting cards (just loook at most of the UFN cards)

well thank you very much for commenting on something you can not even base an opinion on :rolleyes:

how many times have you seen a card on paper and thought "WOW! This will be great" to end up just being decent....and how many times have you thought a card was crap and it turns out to be one of the most exciting nights?

I think this could be a good night.


Paul Daley missed weight! Think weighed in at 172Lbs, therefore forfeits part(or all?) of his fight money. Even more determination to knock Hazlett sparkers now maybe?

Want to have punt but it is a toughy to predict

He'll forfeit 30% i think, that seems to be the norm, also will not be entitled to any of the Fight of the Night bonuses

I know what ya mean about the card though, i rate 72 as one of my fav events, even though on paper it was pretty dire.

Hopefully there will be some real wars, still not floating my boat though

Is it as much as 30%? I thought it was 10% and that sum is transfered to the opponent.

I'm open to correction of course.

Munoz
