a tsunami of injury issues is turning ufc 133 into a slapdash event with the main card not worthy of a $50 price tag....

evans/ortiz a main event?...laughable...ortiz was out prior to the bader miracle....franklin/lil nog scratched..sakara/rivera is about as meaningless a fight as could be found on a main card...sexyama exposed as a fighter who should have stayed in japan...

i would suggest finding a lame replacement for lil nog and think outside the box by adding two undercard fights to the main card...ebersole/hallman and pierce/hendricks......

why not try and be accomodating to fans who are willing to fork out half a buck to watch mma?....what they`ll be offering isn`t worthy of a ppv....so think outside the box and show a little good will toward the golden goose that makes it all possible?...

as it stands,i won`t be buying this....

[Vaughany]

YEah its pretty weak, especially in comparison to the past few cards and ones coming up. Wonder if they'll do Franklin vs Gustaffsson, not sure if Franklin would want it tho and would be messing Hamill around a bit. Absolutely guttered that my Franklin/Nog arb is down the drain now, had a feelin it was gonna happen

[Straight Cash]

Maybe they can convince Bader...

[RaiderNation MMA]

king mooo baby!!!

[sirchadwick1]

I know it's a step up and not sure the UFC would let it happen... but dammit put Leben in there! He always steps up and I'm sure he believes he can beat Franklin.

...........?

Lol, how at all?
We'll see if he "should have stayed in japan" in 133.

you guys really think a split decision win over belcher and consecutive losses to leben and bisping justify the hype the guy came into the ufc with?.....

if you do, fair enough....i don`t(and now he`s a 3-1 dog vs belfort)........

[Majoravsfan]

hes lost to chris leben and michael Bisping enough said. He's about to get smashed by Belfort too.

[stefan084]

don't necessarily like ortiz but his win over bader was not a miracle it was a clean right--but i agree this is not worth paying for and i think the numbers will show it

[Jordan23]

I'm definitely not going to buy this card. But I will definitely watch it that's for sure!

[terpkeg]

This will probably be the first big show in NJ or PA that I dont attend over the past 5 years. Although I would really love to see Akiyama/Belfort live.

[BIGDAY]

Card is definately blah. However, MMA is always entertaining to me.

[Vaughany]

Slight hint from the Mauler!...

"Sunday and its resting day today! Still a little bit jetlag but it will be better next week I hope a lot of things is happening right now with opponents hehe but when I know u guys will know!
I think we are going to Brandon today for some barbecue
Ok have a nice Sunday my friends!" (from his website)

EDIT!... FRANKLIN is off the card, Ebersole vs Hallmann now on main

really befuddled(but glad) that pierce/hendricks didn`t get that slot....

i think this will be a bit of a "test card" for white and the ufc....if they get a good ppv buy, i believe they`ll know that they can throw any old garbage together and people will shell out for it....

IF on the other hand,the card doesn`t pull good numbers,maybe the ufc gets the message that the fans expect a little more from the premiere mma organization on the planet...

here`s hoping most grab a stream....and the ufc gets the message.......

[jin2daj]

what happaned to lil nog? he's out ??? wtfff

[shady610]

I slowly realized that I have had a decreasing interest in mma this year. Not too many ppv shows that I saw were any good.

The matchmaking is getting lazy and the fighters get injured way too much these days.
It seems as if guys go balls to the wall at practice and get hurt and they play it safe at the fight.

[GunShard]

Replace him with his brother!

[jin2daj]

Replace him with his brother!

hahaha that could be like a movie. sort of like the Prestige.

twin brothers who share 1 identity. one brother only trains stand up while the other only trains ground fighting.

then they sub eachother in and out depending on the match up. LOL.

[GoldRush7]

what about a rematch with wandy? They had a helluva fight the first go round

Gtfo WWE fan.
You have interest in a soap opera that is for hill-billys and rednecks and you're going to complain about the ufc?
I don't understand.

All of these people saying they're not buying the card, I never buy a card. I go out with friends to a sports-bar and watch the damn thing. Alot more fun if you ask me.

[danso]

I agree that there are a couple of busts on this card including rivera vs sakara, but there's still a few interesting fights on this card that i'd like to see.. especially pyle vs macdonald,

hallman and ebersole have been on serious rolls.....ebersole has 3 losses since 2005....one was a split,another a majority decision vs kyle noke(in australia).... ....and the 3rd was a 4th round stoppage loss to hector lombard....that`s over a 21 fight span...no shame there...

when he beat lytle,many were talking about lytle as a serious contender who had turned it around.....

hallman coming off good wins over parisyan and ben saunders...

good fight...as is pierce/hendricks...how is this on the facebook card?

Pierce always seems to be stuck on the undercard

Pierce always seems to be stuck on the undercard

i know....the guy gives everybody fits.....he`s a fan friendly fighter....gave fitch a fit...only losses to nathan coy/mark munoz and fitch....

hendricks only loss was to story...but he beat brenneman (who beat story), sadollah and t.j. grant....

we`re talking about a very intriguing fight between two guys that have real legit credentials and are certainly in the mix as potential future contenders...

i`m surprised that they`re fighting each other....

if this had been on the ppv,i might have considered buying...

Yeah and their wrestling should cancel eachother out leading to a standup war...unless Pierce copies Story's gameplan entirely but I think Pierce prefers and tends to be a bit more risky
