I was watching this old video on YouTube and holy shit, look how much Joe Rogan, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta has changed over the years ;o!

The WWE-like entrances are way too cheesy.

More like WCW if you ask me.

Dana White acts like a nerdy businessman rather than, well, how he acts now which is the complete opposite. haha.

This isn't done yet, but reports within UFC are they're trying to do Hendo-Marquardt as the 105 main event. 2 issues of course: Hendo's been saying he wants Silva now (likely not happening until next year anyway due to Silva having elbow surgery) or he goes back to 205 and reportedly Hendo's contract is up and he's a free agent.

hendo will stay in the ufc for sure.
atm most other places are pretty shithouse.
id like to see a hendo V marquart thatd be good.
or a hendo v little nog.
i read an article somewhere that said that anderson didnt have elbow surgery and would be fine for the rest of the year ?
i guess that was false then :S

Yeah, false. Soares (his manager) said Anderson wouldn't be fighting for several months anyway. UFC should be fortunate DREAM got Bob Sapp back as an injury replacement for the Super Hulk tournament, otherwise Hendo could've headed back to Japan and perhaps KO'd Sokoudjou.

Sokoudjou is turd.
hendo v little nog ufc 105?
hendo marquart would be a really good match up id love to see it.
both would be ready hendo hasnt fought since ufc 100 and marquart took no damage againest his 21 seconds with maia.
ufc 106 looks soo good same with 107.

A sarcastic joke? I hope so.

Just came across a nice slideshow, one that DC would like ...

Not bad, some of the photos weren't good quality and not enough full-body shots.

Update on Nick Osipczak for 105: It looks like Matt Riddle will be his opponent. A source close to one of the fighters says agreements are being finalized.

whats happened to patrick cote?
he hasnt fought since the anderson silva fight which was almost a year ago i think?

oh also did any of use americans yesterday or today whatever day it is in america watch the NRL(nation rugby league) because they said it was on Spike tv in america?

Surgery after the fight, supposedly he had a setback in recovery not too long ago. Won't be back until 2010.

Antonio Rogerio Nogueira Update: Verbal agreements in place for UFC debut. It'll be at 106 vs. Luis Cane. Some sites are saying it's at 105 but it's changed since Sherdog's original report.

Wilson Gouveia vs. Alan Belcher will soon be added to 107.

right about now ufc 105 looks shit
not enough big names.
whod be the headline?
bisping v kang?
you cant headline an event with them.

also what as happened to heath herring he hasnt fought since ufc 87 which was ages ago.

You're right dude, it does look pretty rubbish. Usually when there's fewer big names involved at least some of the match ups are interesting and the fights potentially exciting (UFC 99 for example), but this is one of the worst in recent memory. Wouldn't surprise if me if Bisping/Kang is the ME, seeing as it's in England and all, that's pretty crappy for overseas viewers though...Just put Hendo/Marquardt on the card and sort out this number one contender thing already.

Brock Lesnar took Heath's soul...I think he was suppose to fight JDS, then got injured and then something recently came up as well. I could be way off with this, but I think he opened a restuarant or something. Maybe he could welcome the head hunter back to the octagon.
