Heads up for anyone who likes a bit of scrapping. This starts at 9pm on bravo and 10pm on bravo+1. its not live because it was on last night. Theres 2 titles on the line
Anderson Silva(C)vs Nate Marquardt Middleweight title fight
Sean Sherk(C) vs Hermes Franca Lightweight title fight
and then theres the fight everyone really wants to see
Tito-"I have a massive head"-Ortiz vs Rashad Evans which is a light heavyweight bout. Tito is coming back off his comprehensive pasting by chuck liddell who in turn got whooped by Rampage Jackson and lost his title. So Ortiz is way down the pecking order in the LHW division now and needs a win here to regain some credibilty, plus hes an irritating tt and Dana white (UFC ceo bloke) last week called him "a moron". All in all it should be a good night of men punching each other biggrin

Quality, really enjoying UFC.

Quick question, saw prog a while back on Michael someone, a Brit who won The Ultimate Fighter and went pro in the UFC and won his first bout. Great program, just wondering if anyone knows how he's doing at the moment?
Seemed like a top bloke.

michael bisping, hes still with the ufc and recently won, he has a fight coming up at the ufc event in london. Hes still undefeated in the ufc and should be heading for a heavyweight title fight assuming he keeps winning. I think hes 6-0 now but i could be wrong www.ufcdaily.com is good for all the news. Dont go there just now though theyll have the results for tonights show up as it was last night and bravo show it a day later smile

Cheers Buddy, hopefully Liddell will be having a rematch with Rampage sometime soon. Still got UFC71 on Sky+, so many good fights on that card. Haven't seen 72 though, bit behind at the moment

Quinton "rampage "Jackson vs Dan Henderson is next up. Theres still some debate as to whether the pride titles will be on the line though. (henderson holds their middleweight and i think LHW titles) If rampage wins (doubtful hes lost to this guy in pride already) then itll be a while before a chuck rematch i think but if he loses then itll probably be sooner. Chuck needs to lose the gut imho yes

Any news on Matt Hughes?

Watched him lose to George St Pierre,(who looked incredible in that fight) who then lost to Serra.

Matt hughes last fought royce gracie and whooped him. Serra is probably going to fight hughes for the title next, should be good, the serra win was a major upset.

Hughes faught Royce Gracie ages ago, last May/June I think, He was still Welterweight champion then. Since then he has beaten BJ penn lost to GSP and beaten CHris somebody, he should be due for a fight soon though!

He hasnt, paperbag I got the wrong person. should be a good fight though, henderson should win though. Maybe. Apparently it will be a title unification bout although it seems to change from week to week.

Also, chucks next fight is apparently going to be against wanderlei silva!!! woooooohooooo
