My guess is a free, truly stacked card played simultaneous with the Bellator PPV.
Also I'm assuming there will be a shitload of free UFC content on all UFC affiliate stations leading up to the ppv debut for saturation and confusion, most likely highlighting every single ass kicking Tito and Rampage have taken in their careers. In other words, business as usual.
DFWJR: cockblocking fight orgs like a boss since the days of the IFL.
Looking at the schedule.. seems unlikely. Bellator picked a pretty good day for the PPV. It's set right between two free UFC cards, one happening a week earlier and the other 4 days later.
10-26-13 - Fight Night in Manchester
11-2-13 - Bellator: Rampage-Tito
11-6-13 - UFC Fight for the Troops 3
His ass needs to ignore them. Let them die breathing.
Big Fish dont need to fuck with little fish.
Dana gives his competition way too much publicity.
When Rush Limbaugh first started out and got big he would ignore it when lesser competition attacked him.
Why give you any shine off of my success?
Dana chooses to take the 50 Cent approach by challenging all comers. Thats great in the beginning but after awhile you start to look petty as fuck.
I assume fox sports 1 will kick off that campaign with Forrest vs rampage, Forrest vs Tito 2 and 3, rashad vs Tito, chuck vs Tito, rampage vs bader, and rampage vs shogun then wanderlei in pride to top it off.
WpgWarrior - They can do a two man event on YouTube and kill Bellatorhaha that would be evil

The smart business man would embrace the competition, knowing that when people see it, they will realize what it lacks compared to the "real thing".
Of course, Dana will probably go Vince McWhite on it, and schedule something better at the same time, meanwhile talking shit about it and saying it sucks ass.

RollHighAllDay - I assume fox sports 1 will kick off that campaign with Forrest vs rampage, Forrest vs Tito 2 and 3, rashad vs Tito, chuck vs Tito, rampage vs bader, and rampage vs shogun then wanderlei in pride to top it off.That's what I was thinking lol
But it does seem like a bad date to me.?When the UFC has 2 free events back to back around it it better be a good card for anyone but hardcore fans to buy it.
I just hope they promote it properly and it does decent numbers. Hate to see another org go down.

"Were going to replay UFC 100"
Why can't they move fight for the troops to the 2nd?
RollHighAllDay - I assume fox sports 1 will kick off that campaign with Forrest vs rampage, Forrest vs Tito 2 and 3, rashad vs Tito, chuck vs Tito, rampage vs bader, and rampage vs shogun then wanderlei in pride to top it off.100% this.

I doubt they'll counter it with a live event. They'll probably just run a marathon of old fights where Tito & Rampage get their shit pushed in. Either that or do a replay of a recent PPV.
a lot of forum members over reacting and being impulsive on this Bellator thing. Let them have their paper view as great as Tito and Rampage both were they are far far away from their peaks as entertaining fighters.
Key word being entertaining here. I personally feel that Rampage will KO Tito to the delight of many. That is if both of them don't injure themselves during their training camps which is sadly becoming an all too often across the board common occurrence in any mma organization.
See affliction banned for what zuffa will do.. Throw together a card quickly then put it on for free.
Brock V.s Kimbo.. duh!
My Old Name Is Not Allowed - I bet they will just run a free replay of Cain/JDS 3. It will be just two weeks after
This is probably most likely.
Stamping out Affliction was shameless. If I remember correctly they actually created an event to coincide exactly with an Affliction event in the same city.
Personally I like Bellator and am glad they chose as ideal a spot as possible for their ppv. Hopefully they get a couple more names for the card and generate more interest.
Would/could they do Chandler vs Askren? Not really sure how big or small they are but considering they're both undefeated champs it might be interesting at a catch weight. (Assuming Eddie isn't back)
It's possibly more interesting than any other match up currently in either weight class.
Likely a replay of a ppv. Staging a live event in some ways actually helps the competition. if you look at afflictions 2 ppv shows, the first one actually pulled better (around 100k buys) which was countered by a live Anderson SIlva fight, compared to the second aflliction ppv (around 90k buys) which was countered by a replay. and the second show was headlined by the more marketable fight (fedor vs Arlovski)
the reasoning is when you stage a live ufc event you cause more people in the target market to stay home on a saturday night and because they are already home a certain amount will also order and watch the ppv on tape delay (or vice versa).
I believe the only time a live event would be effective is if the competition has a chance of doing more than 100k buys... a live event would be effective in lowering the ceiling on buys (past 100k).
