UFC 115 Discussion

[Eccocide]

This card looks wild. If only I was on the other coast of Canada! All of the main card fights are absolute wars. And Condit/Macdonald is an awesome fight for an undercard bout.

http://mmajunkie.com/news/18107/heav...15-meeting.mma

"Although initially expected to fight Pat Barry (5-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC), heavyweight Gilbert Yvel (36-14-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) instead will fight Ben Rothwell (30-7 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in June at UFC 115.

Sources close to the event today confirmed the change with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) and said verbal agreements are in place for the bout.

UFC 115 is expected to take place June 12 at GM Place in Vancouver, British Columbia. The night's main card airs on pay-per-view.

With Barry no longer facing Yvel, Barry vs. Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic is expected for UFC 115. "

props to the ufc if this card goes as planned, hopefully they can find a way to get Condit vs Macdonald on the main card if not then at least a free fight on spike

[Dad]

Chuck Liddell is gonna whoop that ass.

[36mafia]

all in on sexyama

[The HOFF]

all in on sexyama

Gilbert Yvel too.

[squallsquall]

Who's Pat Barry?

[Lincoln73]

Evan Dunham will be a live dog at a nice price in that fight.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

If Ortiz/Liddell 3 is tha main event thats still pretty weak, bottom of the card looks good

[shady610]

the undercard should produce good fights. it sucks since the maine even is a repeat of 2 beatings, but tito is a guy i dont get sick of watching lose.

[brooks85]

barry is going to ruin CC

[JuicedUp]

Who's Pat Barry?

he's got leg kicks from hell!!!

[Kaladarus]

So CC was supposed to fight Rothwell in this card and then the fight got "changed". Also at UFC 110 Rothwell was "injured". Seems like someone is ducking CC.

[The HOFF]

A welterweight matchup between Martin Kampmann and Paulo Thiago is currently in the works for UFC 115.

The potential bout was first reported by The Las Vegas Sun, and MMAjunkie.com has since confirmed that both fighters have verbally agreed to the fight, and bout agreements are expected to be finalized shortly.

[The HOFF]

A lightweight match-up between Matt Wiman (11-5 MMA, 5-3 UFC) and Mac Danzig (19-7-1 MMA, 3-3 UFC) is expected for UFC 115.

Sources close to the bout told MMAjunkie.com on Tuesday that both fighters have agreed to meet one another and are expected to put pen to paper soon.

its going to be intresting to see the odds on that fight..... if thiago odds are no more then -160 - 180 and betting BIG

[cky312]

Interested to see Griffin vs Dunham

[Straight Cash]

Looks like a solid card top to bottom.

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

"Thiago Alves will get another chance to avenge his loss to Jon Fitch at UFC 115 from the GM Place in Vancouver on Saturday, June 12"

[brooks85]

i hope i get fitch as an underdog again

[as99]

Honestly I don't like this card...... Was hoping for a better card.

And I wouldn't bet Jon Fitch against Alves. See what happened to Josh Kos.

[brooks85]

ya, he tried to stand with alves and paid the price. Jon fitch doesnt waste time trying to be something he is not.

[doubleleg]

Tough fight to call on Fitch and Alves - could go either way and could end at any time

[Vaughany]

Big money to be won on Paulo Thiago beating Kampmann and Barry beating Crop Cop. Cant wait!

[cky312]

Akiyama Silva officially off this card, they're fighting at 116 =(, and I was so stoked to see Wandy fight

[Varker]

This card sucks.

[Capn Morgan]

great card but no better then ufc 111 thru 113

[THE_LOCKSMITH]

who knows whats going on with the main event Liddell/Ortiz/Franklin/Couture, but there are three solid Welterweight fights on this card Fitch/Alves Thiago/Kampmann and Condit/Macdonald

[GunShard]

I don't see any good spots to be on this one.

[cky312]

If all the welterweights fight, it'd actually be a decent card for the hardcore MMA fans, but with no Silva Akiyama it's definitely not a draw anymore.

[Vaughany]

I don't see any good spots to be on this one.

ha Paulo Thiago????????

[Eccocide]

UFC has officially announced the headliner for UFC 115.....and it is.......Liddell vs Franklin! Much better matchup in my opinion. I had no interest in Liddell vs Tito 3.

Im actually pretty excited to see this card. Alves fitch 2 is something ive been waiting to see for a long time. Im assuming this fight will have title implications too so it will be even more exciting. Also crocop against barry... a kickboxing WAR. Always fun watching paolo thiagos fights. And griffin vs dunham will be a great fight at lightweight. Don't sleep on dunham he is a beast.

[Vrakas]

This card is actually starting to look half decent. Tickets on sale tomorow.

[The HOFF]

Doesn't look like the Fitch vs Alves fight is going to be on this card. MMAjunkie has the official PPV main card listed as:

• Chuck Liddell vs. Rich Franklin
• Patrick Barry vs. Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic
• Martin Kampmann vs. Paulo Thiago
• Carlos Condit vs. Rory MacDonald
• Evan Dunham vs. Tyson Griffin

[Eccocide]

Dana said in an interview on Saturday that as long as Thiago gets cleared by the NJ state athletic commission (want to honour their ruling) in the near future, the fight will be on the card. They probably won't officially add it until that point. Plus the card i listed is from UFC.com and it only has 9 fights, which means they will be adding at least one more, most likely Alves/Fitch once he gets cleared.
