UFC Fight Night Event Headed to Birmingham, England on November 5 http://ht.ly/5I6OE #MMA #UFC #UK

Then a few minutes after that, from UFC_UK Twitter:
UFC 138 is taking place in Birmimgham on Bonfire Night. Main Event is @cripplerufc v @mark_munoz more fights and ticket details soon

Pretty sure they meant this event because main event at UFC 138 is Cain vs Dos Santos.


UFC 138 in England will be headlined by Leben vs. Munoz, and it will mark the 1st 5-rd non-title UFC main event --

[DarkReign]

Leben?

As in, washed up wanna-be knockout puncher Leben from TUF?

Thats the main card?

[dbreiden83080]

It's a free card and Leben is still a good fighter a mw

[DarkReign]

It's a free card and Leben is still a good fighter a mw

Ah, its free.

I'll take you at your word about Leben.

[benefactor]

Thrown together card for the last event on Spike?

[ace3g]

I don't know about thrown together, Munoz and Leben have a lot riding on this fight in a weak MW division.

[ace3g]

was looking for the UFC 138 promo that I saw last night, and this caught my attention, someone used my original graphic for 138 for their vid

Here are my predictions but this card is tough because of the names (or lack there of) doesn't mean there won't be good fights though.

MAIN CARD (Spike TV)

Chris Leben vs. Mark Munoz
- First look at a 5 round non title fight; I'll give Munoz the adv due to his wrestling.

Renan Barao vs. Brad Pickett
- Haven't seen either fight but heard good things about Pickett.

Papy Abedi vs. Thiago Alves
- Going with the new guy (plus not really a fan of Thiago).

Terry Etim vs. Edward Faaloloto

Cyrille Diabate vs. Anthony Perosh
- Diabate impressed me the last time he fought, so I'll go with him.

[MannyIsGod]

I know its free but this seems boring as shit.

[ace3g]

some good stare-downs at the weigh ins

[tlongII]

Free is ALWAYS good! I'll probably tape it though so I can watch Ducks vs Huskies.

[polandprzem]

MAIN CARD (Spike TV)

Chris Leben vs. Mark Munoz
Renan Barao vs. Brad Pickett
Papy Abedi vs. Thiago Alves
Terry Etim vs. Edward Faaloloto
Cyrille Diabate vs. Anthony Perosh

[dbreiden83080]

Chris Leben vs. Mark Munoz

Tough matchup for Chris but he is a fucking warrior who i think will not let himself get grappled to death and bust Munoz up on the feet.

Renan Barao vs. Brad Pickett
Papy Abedi vs. Thiago Alves
Terry Etim vs. Edward Faaloloto
Cyrille Diabate vs. Anthony Perosh

[dbreiden83080]

Alves missed weight again

God..

[The TroutBum]

Alves missed weight again

God..

I can't wait for the UFC to release that stupid fuck head Brazilian.

[dbreiden83080]

Even working with Mike Dolce hasn't completely worked..

[ace3g]

Please don't post spoilers here, the main card fights will be on tape delay when they start at 8 p.m. EST

Prelims will be shown live on UFC FB page in about 2 minutes.

I'll add no spoilers to the thread title Ace..

[ace3g]

Spike fights just started, what a quick fight and finish for Terry Etim ; 1-0 on predictions!!!

--

well now 1-1 and I wished I hadn't looked in the mma gif thread...

--

now 1-3 ...

[ace3g]

well that was anti climatic ...

2-3

[dbreiden83080]

well that sucked. wtf leben.. He is the last guy i would expect to quit on the stool..

[CubanSucks]

lmao no spoilers? Yall couldn't just wait to get on here till after watching all the fights?

[ace3g]

It wasn't about that, the fights were in England; so they started about 3 p.m.; thus all the major sports websites would have the results by the time the fights started on SPIKE at 7 our time.

So for those that didn't know the results already, could still discuss the fights "live" in this thread.

[dbreiden83080]

lmao no spoilers? Yall couldn't just wait to get on here till after watching all the fights?

No it was taped delay..

[Stringer_Bell]

That was a fun card, and my favorite fights were actually the Perosh/Diabate and Maguire/Edwards.

Perosh will never be a contender, but he worked really hard against a guy only had to make sure he didn't get put on his back. He's only good at one thing but he didn't give up, very good performance win.

Maguire/Edwards was like a WWE match, back and forth the whole way. Would've been my FOTN.

[polandprzem]

Yup fun fights

I only saw main card fights but they were quality good fights.


Good old Alves :)


Munoz wants title fight now.
Interesting

And It would be unbelievable him getting it b4 Chael

[CubanSucks]

I know about the delay! I was just wondering why people like to discuss the fights as they're watching them so much

[ace3g]

woo Belcher!!!! glad he is back, one of the last remaining MW I want to see get a title shot

1. Sonnen
2. Bisping/Mayhem winner
3. Leben/Munoz winner
4. Belcher

[dbreiden83080]

I know about the delay! I was just wondering why people like to discuss the fights as they're watching them so much

I only do that if i am streaming

Never when i buy the PPV..

[The TroutBum]

Wait, you think Bispussy or Mayhem get a title shot over Munoz? Seriously?

[ace3g]

Nope, that was just the order they happened to be in as I was typing.

[The TroutBum]

Nope, that was just the order they happened to be in as I was typing.

Phew.

I like Mayhem, but he's not even top ten imo. Bispussy is even lower. Has he ever beat a real fighter?

Wow, what a fucking moron. I feel bad for guys that have demons like this -- throw away your fame, career, money, and life for a gosh damn drug. Shame.
