Re: UFC 125: Resolution (Jan. 1st) 2 years ago this would have been a fight night card, crazy how far both Edgar and Maynard have come
Re: UFC 125: Resolution (Jan. 1st) Honestly it's still not a whole lot better than an UFN. Surprised Leben-Stann is the second bill. Stann is 3-3 and Leben just got a DUI. I think it shows how little the UFC values the ghost of Brandon Vera these days.
Re: UFC 125: Resolution (Jan. 1st) I'm really surprised the UFC didn't bump up either Griffin/Franklin or Jones/Bader for this event. A very weak card for the New Year's show. Sucks Aldo got injured.

Re: UFC 125: Resolution (Jan. 1st) Pretty lame card for new years... I was hoping for something better than this. They should have done Belfort\Silva for new years card. I might not even buy this one.
Re: UFC 125: Resolution (Jan. 1st) I think they originally wanted too, but Silva wanted an extra month to rehab his elbow.
Re: UFC 125: Resolution (Jan. 1st) I don't know what the hell Ion TV is, but the prelims will be airing on Ion.
Re: UFC 125: Resolution (Jan. 1st) Foreign for us maybe, not the Yanks. Dana says it is in 100-million homes in the US. In fact, he says it is "network" television, whatever that means.
Re: UFC 125: Resolution (Jan. 1st) Yeah I think its sort of like UPN/CW/WGN if you guys know of those channels. I don't get it where I live but I've been to other areas where it is a network channel. UPN doesn't exist but it seems CW/WGN/Ion all do the same thing and carry the same shows.
Re: UFC 125: Resolution (Jan. 1st) Ah, I see. I honestly don't know if I get Ion, I do get CW and etc though so I'll have to do some channel surfing on saturday to see I get to watch prelims.
Re: UFC 125: Resolution (Jan. 1st) Apparently Holly Madison will be back as a ring card girl for this event, if you're into that sort of thing.
Re: UFC 125: Resolution (Jan. 1st) ^ Brittney Palmer will debut as well. Rogers Sportsnet will broadcast the prelims in Canada and they will be on ESPN in the UK.
Re: UFC 125: Resolution (Jan. 1st) Weigh-in results: McKee (156) Volkmann (156) Soto (171) Roberts (171) Nunes (146) Brown (146) Tavares (185) Baroni (186) Poirier (145) Grispi (146) Stephens (156) Davis (156) Silva (206) Vera (205) Gomi (155) Guida (156) Kim (171) Diaz (170) Stann (186) Leben (186) Maynard (155) Edgar (155)
Re: UFC 125: Resolution (Jan. 1st) Some last minute hype. [video=youtube;X5hlh87AW1Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5hlh87AW1Y&feature=player_embedded[/video]
UFC 125 Anyone see Vera get literally spanked, bitch slapped, and drum sticked by Thiago Silva? Freaking loved it.
