March 7th Quinton Jackson - Keith Jardine Gabriel Gonzafa - Shane Carwin Dustin Hazelett - Ben Saunders Matt Hamill - Mark Munoz Gray Maynard - Jim Miller Kendall Grove - Jason Day Brandon Vera - Michael Patt Pete Sell - Matt Brown Aaron Riley - Shane Nelson Does anyone know where Dustin Hazelett got the nickname "McLovin"?

mtv2112 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 That seems like a pretty weak fight card for the UFC. Usually they put more candy in there to get PPV orders up. What purpose does the Jackson - Jardine fight serve? It looks like the undercard will be interesting. Some of the best fights are usually there anyway.

Drooke Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 I agree I though Jackson would be fighting Evans for his first defense. I'm actually looking forward to seeing Carwin and Dustin fight. I always love to see what happens to Brandon Vera. He is such a self promoter.

mtv2112 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I had heard that Jackson wants to throw against Forrest as a revenge thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooke Posted January 18, 2009 Author Share Posted January 18, 2009 I had heard that Jackson wants to throw against Forrest as a revenge thing. It would make sense then for him to beat Evans which would open the door for the rematch. However, that isnt happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB145 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 WAR Aaron Riley.. another former Indiana wrestler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drooke Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Thanks BB for mentioning Aaron. I didn't realize that he was an Indiana product. Geez he has fought a who's who..........Gurgel,Shultz,Alvarez,Fisher,Lytle,Lawler,Edwards, and another 20 or so that I didn't recognize. What a wealth of experience to bring to the cage.

BB145 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 He started fighting and training with my coach Scott Henze when he was 17. In the past he has had alot of fights where he didnt train and it showed. But now he is training in seattle I believe and taking it very serious. And it shows. He once broke his jaw where it was almost split in two and kept fighting. They had to call the fight but he wanted to keep going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully this may be one of those freebees they throw at us on Spike. I know I wouldn't pay to watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB145 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Out of the top 3 cards Ive seen in the past year, 2 of the 3 were considered before the fight started as weak cards. Its not the names that make good cards as Ive seen plenty of big name fights end up awful. Its the match ups that make it interesting. I think there are some good match ups on this card.

jlittlejohn Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I agree, but, I think pay-per-view should be saved for true marquee match-ups. This is not an elitist sport, so they should try to cater to the marginal fan once in while to gain or retain interest. One reason why I lost interest in boxing was that I wasn't willing to fork out the pay-per-view fees everytime a great match came along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleB Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 It's a joke card, especially for the Arnold, which brings in die hard fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
