What pussies are predicting undecards?

Hours after learning opponent Thiago Alves failed a CT scan and was scratched from the card, his opponent, Jon Fitch (21-3 MMA, 11-1 UFC), has agreed to replace Jake Ellenberger (22-5 MMA, 1-1 UFC) and fight fellow welterweight Ben Saunders (8-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) on the UFC 111 pay-per-view main card.
Multiple sources today confirmed with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) the change to Saturday's card, which takes place at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
A source told MMAjunkie.com said Saunders specifically asked for the new bout when Fitch became available.
Ellenberger has been promised his "show" and "win" money to make up for the UFC's last-minute switch, we're told.
An official announcement is expected any time now from the UFC.
Fitch and Alves were scheduled to fight in a featured UFC 111 bout with potential le implications. The duo first met in 2007, when Fitch defeated Alves. However, an irregularity in a pre-fight CT prompted the New Jersey State Athletic Control Board understandably to err on the side of caution and nix the rematch. As we reported earlier today, Alves' agent, Malki Kawa of First Round Management, said the fighter doesn't have any serious injuries or ailments and hopes to return at UFC 112 in April.
Fitch looks for his fourth straight UFC win since a loss to UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre. Saunders, meanwhile, recently rebounded from his first career loss (to Mike Swick) with an impressive KO win over Marcus Davis.

well since you are playing an honest game ill do it
You know i am going to this event Train, so if i lose i got the whole ride home to think about it...![]()
not main card
Neither is the fight that took it's place
In other words it's a bad fight..
You wanna extend to 6 fine i'll go 6 and pick it
You pick undercards all the time so why are you giving me about one change out of a 1,000 cards i pick? I only changed it because of the Alves injury. Did i pick all the main card fights for this event, before that
Yes i did
Damn I was waiting for that Alves - Fitch fight very much
I wonder if Fitch will win he gonna get le shot ... If not him then who? Paulo Thiago?
It's all l O'right
So was I, especially since i'll be there. Saunders and Fitch is good too
Fitch would get the rematch if he won. Then Paulo would probably next in line...maybe needs one more big win.
It's good and Saunders last victory was impressive. I wonder how Fitch will look. His last few bouts were rather boring without fresh air. It seems like Fitch did not made a big progress.
Yeah we know you do........oh by the way fixed it for ya![]()
