    With an opponant the calibre of Ogle I never really thought that he would be on the main card. They're taking their time with Conor and not pushing him too much too soon. Yes they could get a lot of fan fare if they gave him a bigger opponant on the main card but in all honesty, they dont really need to. That guy gets all the hype he needs, and then some.

    Rampage had signed for Bellator in a deal which allows him to wrestle for TNA and involves Bellator creating a reality series based around his debut. .

    It looks like Anderson Silva won't be retiring any time soon. I just read that he's signed a new 10 fight deal with the UFC.
    I doubt he'll fight all ten but even still....that's a pretty long contract.

    Does that mean there'll be no Bendo v Grant on the card? I thought they'd really want to stick a Title Fight in there considering the card is a big deal.

    Unless they do both. In that case the card is strong as hell.

    Doesn't look like it. Sonnen v Shogun is announced as the headliner.

    Henderson vs Grant is happening at 164 I think.

    Any more word on our TV deal? Last I heard there was still no agreement between BT Sports and any of the Irish providers.

    Less than 2 months to go before the Espn deal ends.

    Robert drysdale has signed for the UFC.
    I think it's a bit too soon for him.
    He has had six fights lasting an average of 1 min 40 sec.
    All first round submissions.
    You would think he would stand and trade with these guys to get
    some proper experience and fall back on the Bjj if needed.
    He learns nothing IMO by taking lesser opponents
    out by sub so quickly.
    I'd say he will be a poorer version of vinny magalhaes

    It is going to be an awesome card...

    But that fight isn't going to be part of it. It's the co headliner for the second Fox Sports 1 event. Not the first one which is the Boston card.

    These event names are getting a bit daft...

    UFC on Fox Sports 1 - 1...
