What time and network/PPV?

[wyrmtung]

It's PPV. One of the weakest cards of the year. (Yes, it's because of injuries but still)

wat? sure it lacks Rua/Liddel, but it's still a pretty stacked card.

[Blarg]

The card doesn't have any huge names but the entire main card has very compelling matchups with actual implications for the winners in the bigger picture.

Matt Hughes vs. Thiago Alves
Michael Bisping vs. Jason Day
Mike Swick vs. Marcus Davis
Fabricio Werdum vs. Brandon Vera
Nathan Marquardt vs. Thales Leites

I would like to see Alves win but I don't know if that will happen.

taking hughes, bisping, swick, werdum, marquardt...looks to be a solid show, can't wait to see how hughes looks after a full training schedule at his new gym.

[Blarg]

Alves weighs in 4 pounds over lol. I wonder if he tried to put on as much weight as possible to try to make up for the strength disadvantage.

[noblemountain]

so UFC 88 is in atlanta...i know a few of you guys are from the southeast, if anyone else is going let me know...need to have BG night at a bar the night before. rumored main event is chuck lidell vs. TBA...(silva's been named)

[Remyo]

if shogun is on the card I'll go.

[spoiler:2dy5bmoa]I wish Werdums translator knew English better, even the 2 of them couldn't understand eachother[/spoiler:2dy5bmoa]

[Einherjar]

if shogun is on the card I'll go.

I read that UFC didn't expect Shogun to be ready until November I think.

[Blarg]

[spoiler:3oxabbix]Glad to see Alves win, he seemed to avoid the takedowns pretty well[/spoiler:3oxabbix]

Wiman vs tavares is a pretty damn good fight

[Remyo]

[spoiler:2wvcss71]I wonder how bad hughes' knee got hurt. I got a lot of picks wrong, been doing that a lot lately.

And Dan Miragliotta is a shitty ref imo, worse than pornstache[/spoiler:2wvcss71]

There were a lot of upsets tonight, though. A lot more than usual.

yeah, i was surprised at some of the upsets. best fight of the night was ruined by shitty reffing. deducting a point for a shot to the back of the head that never happened. i really wish people would tell these idiotic refs that shots to the side and top of the head aren't harmful...just the top of the spinal cord and brain stem.

I think it might just be time for Hughes to retire. He's nowhere near the fighter he used to be. Nowhere even close sadly.

I think it might just be time for Hughes to retire. He's nowhere near the fighter he used to be. Nowhere even close sadly.

hes been saying since TUF that he only had a couple fights left in him (and a couple on his contract). so after back to back losses im pretty sure if these 2 werent his last he might only have 1 more on his contract. after the GSP fight he said he still wanted to fight Serra no matter what. im thinking huges vs serra will be his last fight ever if hes not done right now.

[Brill Weave]

At this stage though Serra will completely dismantle him.
