!?GriffinVsFranklin main-event?!

Vitor=1 fight win streak in the UFC. Countless other fighters tore up the smaller cards (yes, including Strikeforce) and they didn't get a title shot after 1 win). Incidentally, I think Vitor is the right man, they just should have made him win a couple more first.

Forrest= His win over Tito shouldn't count because a) Tito is washed up and b) The decision could have gone either way.

I'd like to see one of them against bones or another real fighter if they're going to get that kind of hype. Phone Post

Former champs, both coming off wins, what's the problem? Phone Post

25

It's crap like that makes us look bad you got 2 former champions coming of wins what's not to love???? This has war written all over it.

26

 Wins over people shouldn't count anymore because you say so? Another example of idiocy

And Vitor tore up Affliction, dumbass....Afflictions roster was stacked as fuck, hence why they failed. And, btw, the guy he's taking on? Anderson Silva? Title shot after ONE win in the UFC. Against Leben. At least Vitor beat a former champ to get his.

Franklin and Griffin aren't real fighters, because they're not taking on prospects? Bones and Bader are matched up ON THE SAME CARD. And Franklin and Griffin both have earned the distinction of taking on champion level fighters in all of their fights, due to being champions and due to their current resumes. 

27

Ha ha, Vitor needs to work his way up!

28

GriffinQ: Bones and Bader being on the same card, and yet we see good ol' Forrest and Rich on the poster, proves my point exactly. THEY are the ones that should be getting the recognition and fat paycheck, and the dinosaurs should be given the first fight, or something. Phone Post

29

Silva should also have won a couple more fights before he got the title shot. The result would have been the same. Phone Post

30

And I didn't say they aren't real fighters. Phone Post

31

That card is fucking awesome.

32

The winner of Franklin/Griffin will probably end up taking on the winner of Bones/bader. Timing. Then on to be a top contender by the end of next year

33

Angryguy: that makes a lot of sense, but I still think bones/bader should be on the poster, and there are other lhws that deserve to fight the winner of that matchup more. Phone Post

34

LOL@ all the 07 and 08rs who think there grizzled ug vets (i was originaly an 02 but started fresh after taking off for 5 years after the 05 tufers took over)

35

 why would you put fighters on the poster who draw less viewers? you really dont seem to understand how this works...its about marketing the fight! sorry, but just because you want them to be, doesn't mean that bones and bader are gonna be bigger names than griffin and franklin. they have years to get to that point, griffin and franklin have already earned it

 Man people should have to take a test before being able to post, this place is going down hill fast. Let me ask you something how can you say two former Champions, two legends of the sport both coming off of wins shouldn't be the co-main event?  But you want two up and comers to have that slot when infact Badar HARDLY beat someone like Lil Nog.



I have a feeling if the Franklin/Forrest fight ends in a devastating fashion they will get a title shot and the winner of Jones/Bader is getting Page.




37

 oh and btw.

Franklin and Griffin are both coming of wins, and both headlined the cards they were on... You can't get to be much more of a main eventer than that...

Anything else you want to complain about? You probably think Kid Yammamoto shouldn't be on the card either because it's his first fight in the UFC...

How about starting some decent topics around here instead of just trying to troll everyone...

Awesome highlight BTW

Sick card is sick.

41

 Great highlight...I think it's going to be a great fight as well.  Nothing to complain about with this card, imo. 

42

If there were an actual LADDER then the fighters' placement on said ladder would generate the suspense and hype needed to sell the card. And regarding Rich and Forrest both coming off main event wins... who were those wins over, again? Oh yeah, Tito and Chuck. I suppose you all think that someone who has gotten KO'd four times in a row should get the main event, as long as they were a legend at some point. Phone Post
