Before the UFC can bring the title unification fight that is two years in the making and the Aldo/Lamas title fight along with the Mir/Overeem back against the wall fight, the UFC to complete seven other events. The seven events before 169 will take place in three countries.
167 in Vegas with GSP/Hendricks
TUF 18 Benavidez vs Johnson in Vegas
Fight Night 33 in Brisbane with Hunt vs Silva
Fox 9 in Sacreamento vs Thompson vs Pettis
168 in Vegas with Silva vs Weidman
UFC Singapore with unknown headliner
Fox 10 in Chicago with unknown headliner
The three announced fights are big enough that you know 169 is going to rival 168 for depth and talent.
Well we do not know that but why would they not stack the card like the 168 card. With the two title fights and Mir/Overeem the card is off to an insane start.
The east coast was overdue for another big card.
Can not wait to see how it fills out!
