    Re: UFC 153: Aldo vs. Edgar (Oct/13)

    This is the way cards should be built. Loses the scheduled main event and one of the co-main's and still carries on as a very look-forward-to-able show.

    Reasons being there are implications to the other fights. Rampage's last UFC fight--can he stick it to U Fight Cheap or does Teixeira send him off ignominiously? Is Erick Silva ready for a title shot if he beats Jon Fitch?

    Let's do this.

    Seems like another trick going forward is to make sure there are multiple fights in each weight class per card, allowing some shuffling if and when needs be.

    I think Rampage loses this one. It's his last fight and he's never been the most motivated guy in the world, I can't see it going well.

    Re: UFC 153: Aldo vs. Edgar (Oct/13)

    The UFC hand-picked Teix to take Rampage out. They considered Gustafsson but maybe thought it was too much of a risk to see a young prospect lose to a guy on his way out. Teix has good boxing and is a black belt. If he can resist Rampage's wrestling (which we're seeing less and less of since the Hendo fight) he should be able to get the decision. Not really expecting fireworks in that one.

    Page is fighting a guy he doesn't want to fight, in a place he doesn't want to fight, for a company he doesn't want to fight for... if he actually goes through with it I really don't see him gutting it out. Could be something like the Matt Hamill fight in reverse.

    Ricardo Lamas claims he was offered the fight and accepted before the UFC decided to go with Frank Edgar.

    He won't.

    Page withdraws with an injury.

    Holy fucking shit, Aldo also off of the card with a foot injury.

    Co-Main event and Main event both fucked.

    Good grief, it's an epidemic.

    Re: UFC 153 (Oct/13)

    Rumor is that Chael and Wanderlei will square off at this event now. I wonder if it will be the main event or the co-main event. How about Edgar/Mendes?

    Re: UFC 153 (Oct/13)

    Machida tweeted that he has a surprise coming, maybe he's being added to the card? Machida/Sonnen? Machida/Hendo? Probably too soon for Hendo to be back..

    Re: UFC 153 (Oct/13)

    Sonnen/Silva's just not a competitive fight...

    Also heard that Anderson Silva is on-call and could take a 205-lbs. fight at this event.

    Re: UFC 153 (Oct/13)

    Fabio Maldonado wants to replace Rampage.

    Frank Edgar still up for fighting on the card.

    Re: UFC 153 (Oct/13)

    Don't forget that Belfort vs. Belcher was also pulled from this card.

    Wand Tweeted "UFC 153???" which I guess means he's been offered something or the UFC has at least inquired.

    Maldonado in for Jackson.

    Anderson Silva vs. Stephan Bonnar @ 205 for the main event. Eh, ok.

    Lol, uhm...listen, Bonnar is a gamer and has a granite chin, but come on..this is Silva/Griffin II. I respect Anderson for stepping up and taking the fight, but yeah, maybe the UFC could have given him a little better of an opponent. In all honesty, I would have rather seen Chael/Silva III @ 205.

    Big Nog vs. Dave Herman also expected for this card.

    So, saved?

    3-rounder

    I thought we weren't making that mistake again?

    I still think, since it lost a title fight, the UFC should throw Wanderlei on the card.
