UFC 103 Rumors

[The HOFF]

Rafael Dos Anjos -105
Rob Emerson -125

This line is only up at Bodog right now. Dos Anjos jumps out at me. I see him being the favorite come fight time. Hopefully this hits one of my books soon.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

I wonder how well this card will do, No tiltle fight and the main fight Franklin/Belfort is intersting to hardcore fans but may not get the extra PPV buys. I bring this up because September 19th is also the Date of the Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Juan Manuel Marquez fight.

[The HOFF]

Pretty cool that they are showing an hour of undercard fights live before the PPV on Spike!!!

Just saw that on UFC.com

Spike TV will air a portion of the UFC pay-per-view undercard live to its audience for the first time ever, as the network presents bouts from UFC 103 in Dallas, TX commercial-free live Saturday, September 19 at 9:00pm ET/6:00pm PT. This telecast will mark the first time the network will air a fight-card without commercial interruption.

They should always work to get us some undercard fights. Sons of bitches.

[The HOFF]

The 13-fight card for "UFC 103: Franklin vs. Belfort" is again complete as the organization announced the official additions of UFC newcomers Nik Lentz (16-3-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and Steve Lopez (12-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC).

Lentz meets Rafaello Oliveira (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), while Steve Lopez faces Jim Miller (14-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC).

Blah, Card takes a hit. Swick out due to injury in training. Paul Daley taking his place vs. Kampmann. I know a lot of you guys had some money on Swick too...

wow, that sucks big time

[illmatick]

nooooooooooooooo

[GoGoGadget]

wow, this card blows.
People were hating on the 102 card but I was very excited for it and it didn't disappoint; however, this card is looking very foul to me.

[Bread]

Swick out...that is horrible. This seems to be happening more than I can ever remember recently.

[raydog]

back to back shit cards. should air the entire thing on spike and someone should sit dana down and explain to him that if he insists on having ppv fights each month, bring in at least 4 big names or at least make sure its not on the same night as a major boxing ppv. the guy is just a total fukking moron sometimes. have fun eating that ppv charge mr. ego

[Bread]

Ray calm down. I will still buy it. But then again, I'm rich!!!

UFC 102 was awesome IMO.

[southmadejd]

^^Agreed, I thought 102 was one of the best cards in a long time.

[JoshW]

Junior Dos Santos is my only play so far.

[brooks85]

thats a good play

[Thor4140]

Take away the Colture/Nog fight the 102 card was awful. It is amazing how people only remember the last 15 minutes.

[chubber911]

Take away the Couture/Nogueira fight and another big ticket fight is added in. Of course a PPV event is less spectacular if you just want to completely discount the MAIN ****ING EVENT.

[The HOFF]

Junior Dos Santos is my only play so far.

I took Santos at EV when it opened and played Dos Anjos -120. Also had Swick before he dropped out.

[JoshW]

Nice odds. I guess that is why I had to pay -110 to -120.

[The HOFF]

UFC.com does not have Kampmann listed on the fight card anymore. Paul Daley is listed as fighting Jay Silva.

[Bread]

The scratched fighter merry-go-round continues.

[tyler36]

Actually UFC 102 was pretty exciting, not alot of glam, but some pretty crazy ko's and good fights IMO

[Eccocide]

UFC.com does not have Kampmann listed on the fight card anymore. Paul Daley is listed as fighting Jay Silva.

He was originally supposed to fight Jay Silva. Swick got hurt so Daley is filling in. So where does Jay Silva go? He's fighting CB Dollaway at Ultimate Fight Night 19 cuz Miller got injured. UFC.com is super slow when it comes to updates.

As for those complaining about UFC 102, I just don't get it. U get a top 5 fight of all time with Nog/Couture, a bunch of Knockouts, a great fight between Simpson/Herman till Ed got hurt, and Leben/Rosholt wasn't too shabby either....thought it was an excellent card.

[squallsquall]

What are your thoughts on Franklin vs Belfort?

[The HOFF]

What are your thoughts on Franklin vs Belfort?

I see it playing out the same way Franklin/W. Silva went. Franklin by 3 round decision.

[illmatick]

Hermes Franca at +245 is starting to intrigue me, hasn't fared too well against wrestlers though

[The HOFF]

Martin Kampmann -310
Paul Daley +230
