Sanchez vs. Stevenson - UFC 95

[LB3000]

At the UFC 92 post fight press conference Dana said this will be the main event for 95. First they tease a potenital Anderson Silva fight then they give us this. It's a good fight but not main event worthy. Gouveia vs. Marquardt is also expected to be on this card. Will push the winner closer to a title shot. I don't know how many tickets they have sold so far but with a main event like that and no Bisping they are going to struggle to even come close to selling out.

Sounds crap.

[elixirvtec]

i agree. they need to put A.silvia as a main event for this car.

[québecwarrior]

what?
Joe Stevenson as the main event?
that's a joke

[jimmie]

No way this can be a main event on a PPV can it ? Its a good fight but no fucking way ill ever consider paying a dime for this card.

[scurlaruntings]

O dear. Last night we were treated to 3 main events. And now this.. ?

[LB3000]

I'm pretty sure I read it will be on Spike. Still doesn't make it better (well for us Brits anyway) as how do they expect to pack out a 20,000 capacity venue with a shitty main event. I know the Bisping vs Leben main event from the last UK card got criticised but at least you could kinda understand the reasoning for it with Bisping being a Brit. But this main event makes no sense at all.

[Tyga]

Wait, Diego is dropping to 155?

[LB3000]

As always Dana keeps his word. Some quotes he made last month.

“Including UFC 38 in 2002, and UFC 75 and 85 more recently, this is our fourth show in London and we’re working very hard to make this the best fight card of them all,” promised the president.

“Our UK fans know we will be bringing an awesome card because that’s what we do with each and every show."

If the cut doesn't kill Diego, he should destroy Stevenson. Then I'd love to see him face the winner of Florian vs Penn.

[Beebs]

This is a joke, I mean its a nice little fight, its interesting, but its not a part of the immediate title picture, its not a title fight, its just a decently interesting fight. It should not be the main event.

[Grievesy]

I'm sure they could have Silva defending his title on this card. He's keen to get back in the cage after his last performance. They're taking the piss if they think they can get away with a main event like that.

[mann187]

Its more of a Fight Night headliner, im dissapointed because I was planning on getting tickets for my bro's birthday depends if the rest of the card is any better but i doubt it

[AJAX]

Decent fight but no main event that's for sure, it better be free or the rest of the card better be stacked. At this point Dana should know better.

[BewareofDawg]

It might be in their contracts that they get to headline a show, who knows.

[Tyga]

Worst UFC PPV main event since Franklin versus Okami.

[jimmie]

I read today its a free card so its not that bad its probablly going to be a heck of a fight.

[LB3000]

The UFC sometimes do strange matchmaking. Looks like Josh Koscheck Vs. Paulo Thiago (some newcomer) will be added to the card. Nice way to beef up the card. :roll:

I read today its a free card so its not that bad its probablly going to be a heck of a fight. Yeah its not so bad when you look at it that way, but when your looking to fill out a 20,000 capacity arena it is a joke. If they wanted to do a fight night show they should have held it at a much smaller venue or at the very least reduce the ticket prices. It sucks for the people who have already brought tickets and the people who were looking to go.

[jimmie]

Paulo Thiago ? WTF is this guy Paulo Filho and Thiago Alves or maybe even Silvas love child ?

[Cameron]

stevenson hes a brutal rape

[BewareofDawg]

stevenson hes a brutal rape
Did you just call Stevenson a "brutal rape"?

[Polymath]

Did you just call Stevenson a "brutal rape"?


:lol:

[The Phenom]

Joe Stevenson has lost to Josh Neer and Kenny Florian in recent years.He does not deserve to be in the main event

[Wilhelm]

Sanchez will win and I doubt it'll be the main event when all is said and done. Doesn't matter though, because it's FREE. The always do half assed cards in the UK because they know they're not getting any of the PPV cash. Just pretend it's UFN and enjoy.

[MaliSlamusrex]

not many people will be going to watch that show.

[LB3000]

Here are 3 other fights for the card which have been confirmed:

Dan Hardy Vs. Rory Markham
Demian Maia Vs. Chael Sonnen (What does Maia gain by beating Sonnen?) :patsch
Junior Dos Santos Vs. Stefan Struve (currently listed as a prelim fight)


The Josh Koscheck vs. Paulo Thiago and Wilson Gouveia vs. Nate Marquardt fights haven't been confirmed yet but they will both probably be on the main card.

I'm glad Dan Hardy is fighting again. It's nice to have another British fighter in the UFC. After a good win over Gono I'll be expecting him to build on it.

Why not ? Sonnen is a contender he just easily defeated Paulo Filho the guy who for years everyone claimed and only god knows why would beat Franklin,Henderson and Silva. This is a solid card for free although it could be better.

[LB3000]

Sonnen only won the 2nd fight because Filho didn't do anything. Regardless of if you think he is overated/overhyped (I also always thought he was too) if Filho was right mentally he would have won. After 4 UFC wins they need to put Maia in with other guys closing in on a title shot. Maia will sub Sonnen easily.
