-Welterweight Finals of The Ultimate Fighter 4

Main card airs live on Spike TV on Saturday, November 11 from 9:00 PM to 12:00 AM Eastern Time

UFC 65: NOVEMBER 18 IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA

-Matt Hughes vs. Georges St. Pierre for the UFC Welterweight Title --- provided that both fighters are healthy

-Tim Sylvia vs. Jeff Monson for the UFC Heavyweight Title.

-Nick Diaz vs. Graison Tibau

-Brandon Vera vs. Frank Mir

-Mark Hominick vs. Joe Stevenson

-Michael Bisping vs. TBA

-Brad Imes vs. TBA

(Note: Chuck Liddell vs. Wanderlei Silva, which was originally announced for UFC 65, is off. The UFC did not have a signed contract with Pride when the fight was announced in the Octagon during the UFC 61 event, and negotiations between Zuffa and DSE fell apart shortly thereafter. Silva's loss to Mirko Cro Cop on September 10th has nothing to do with the Silva-Liddell fight being off, as it was off several weeks before that.)

United States PPV suggested retail price: $39.95

"Wow so Leites isn't fighting Marquardt?"

Apparently, Leites had trouble getting his visa.

UFC ON SPIKE TV: DECEMBER 13TH

-Diego Sanchez vs. Joe Riggs

-UFC 66: DECEMBER 30 IN LAS VEGAS

-Chuck Liddell vs. Tito Ortiz for the UFC Light Heavyweight Title

United States PPV suggested retail price: $39.95

UFC 67 ON SUPER BOWL WEEKEND: FEBRUARY 3, 2007

-Event line-up is currently unknown, but it is known that the UFC is planning to run a pay-per-view event on February 3, 2007, the night before the Super Bowl

United States PPV suggested retail price: $39.95

"I could be wrong but before getting his ass handed to him, didn't Marcus Davis swear on TUF that if Joe Stevenson beat him he would quit fighting altogether because of his family or some other sort of boohoo sniff sniff story?"

Your memory is correct. But he came back to The Octagon only to lose to Melvin Guillard on cuts. He has since beaten a couple of nobodies and is getting the oppurtunity to be Forrest Petz' next victim. I understand that the retirement stuff was just crap, and I don't blame him for coming back. I blame the UFC for bringing him back.

"That sucks having Mate Marquardt in an f'n prelim."

When Marquardt was scheduled to fight Leites, I thought it was stupid for it to be an untelevised prelim. But Marquardt vs. Wallace doesn't really interest me at all.
