Hrmm.. not sure where you are getting your rumors:
UFC 82 is March 1st, as posted on UFC. You have 83 7 days later in London..
The London event was rumored last year. Dana said 83 was in Montreal. Serra confirmed 83 will be in Montreal.
MMAWeekly doesn't have 83 and 84 labeled as such, but has them on the dates above...
http://mmaweekly.com/rumors.asp
MMAJunkie has them like I have shown above...
http://mmajunkie.com/ufc-rumors/
Karo Parisyan vs Thiago Alves also rumored for UFC in Montreal (whatever # it ends up being)
That's weird for mmajunkie to keep it like that
http://www.nbcsports.com/portal/site...extfmt=default
It says April 19th and although it doesn't state 83, it's pretty logical to assume that they aren't going to have a card 7 days later with the headline of McCarthy vs Bisping.
Anyway, that is going to be a stacked card if all the rumors are true. I don't believe they are.
I'm not sure who's right...this was the report on Bisping from Dec (I don't think this would be a headliner though)
http://mmajunkie.com/2007/12/20/repo...rles-mccarthy/
This is what happens when UFC never updates its site until a week before something happens.
For a company that hates MMA sites...they do not give us a reason to follow them exclusively.
ufc.com is a joke...RARELY do they "break" anything...
Elite XC - Feb 16th in Miami
-Yves Edwards vs Edson Berto
-Charles “Krazy Horse” Bennett vs TBA
-James Thompson vs Brett Rogers
maybe the confusion will be sorted out here...or not...

I saw Dana still talking about the London event, maybe it is true. The event better be free, if it's on the 8th of the March. There is no way I am paying for an event headlined by Bisping vs McCarthy. Even if it were a bigger headline, I'm not paying for two events in a month.

Just got this from a reliable source:
* UFC 83 is slated for March 8 in London, England
* UFC Fight Night is slated for April 2 in Denver, Colorado
* UFC 84 is slated for April 19 in Montreal, Canada
It’s a bit odd to have two major events scheduled for back-to-back weekends (UFC 82 and UFC 83). We’ll have to wait and see if UFC 83 is free on eTV (like UFC 75) or is a pay-per-view (PPV) event.
Ricco wasn't on the show last night...apparently he joins the show at some point after somebody is kicked off...
WEC - Feb 13
Albuquerque, NM
Welterweight Championship: Carlos Condit vs. Carlo Prater
Bantamweight championship: Chase Beebe vs. Miguel Torres
Lightweight Championship: Rob Mccullough vs. Jamie Varner
Leonard Garcia vs. Hiroyuki takaya
Jeff Bedard vs. Yoshiro Maeda
Jesse Moreng vs. Scott Jorgensen
Mark Hominick vs. Josh Grispi
Coty Wheeler vs. Del Hawkins
Micah Miller vs. Chance Farrar
Manny Tapia vs. Antonio Banuelos
These aren't all confirmed.
Yeah, I just saw the same thing. I just thought it was an error when I first read it. Dana hasn't completely confirmed the 83 event though and said "We're still trying to make it happen" or something to that effect. As I said, it'd better be free.

UFC 83
-Houston Alexander vs James Irvin
and Karo vs Thiago Alves at 84...84 is looking ridiculous. There's talk that Sherk vs Penn/Stevenson would be on that one too. I just can't see all these guys on 1 card though...
UFC 84 April 19, 2008 in Montreal (April)
-GSP vs Matt Serra
-Sean Sherk vs Penn/Stevenson
-Rich Franklin vs Travis Lutter
-Shogun vs TBA
-Karo Parisyan vs Thiago Alves
With 2 le fights, there is a chance the swing bout wouldn't be air'd...none of those should even be a swing bout though...
If that card happens...
They will have to change how they do PPV's to air that card.
SENGOKU (World Victory Road) March 5, 2008 from Tokyo (SkyPerfect PPV)
-Sanae Kikuta vs. Phil Baroni
-Hidehiko Yoshida vs. TBA
-Makoto Takimoto vs. TBA
-Kazuo Misaki vs. TBA
-Ryo Kawamura vs. TBA
-Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos vs. TBA
-Siyar Bahadurazada vs. TBA
Strikeforce in San Jose on March 29, 2008
-Frank Shamrock vs Cung Le
Looks like Sherk's return won't be at 84, but 85 in May...
UFC 85 May 24, 2008
-Sean Sherk vs Penn/Stevenson
-Thiago Silva vs Rashad Evans
So glad this is not Frank vs Ken as first rumored.
And Cung Le will get those rickety knees twisted behind his head here.
I think Frank could be a top 10 if he keeps up this pace and now starts to fight legit guys. His pacing of fights has been solid to shake the rust off and its good to see him take a step up in compe ion. It was excellent to see him be so aggressive against Baroni.
Tap the breaks
******************************************
Fledgling Japanese mixed martial arts promotion World Victory Road on Friday announced that Phil Baroni would face Sanae Kikuta at its March 5 event at the Yoyogi National Stadium Gym in Tokyo.
That announcement however seems to have been a bit premature. MMAWeekly.com spoke with Baroni’s manager, Ken Pavia of Pavia, Ciscone & Associates, who said the fight has not yet been signed.
“World Victory Road is a viable possibility, but we have several other offers on the table and we have to weigh all of our options to make sure that we make the correct move for Phil.”
The proposed fight against Kikuta would be Baroni’s first since returning from a suspension following his June 22 bout against Frank Shamrock while fighting for Strikeforce.
“World Victory Road has made an attractive offer,” continued Pavia, “but at this point, we just haven’t had enough time to weigh all of our options and make a decision.”
Baroni and Pavia will be considering the options and an announcement regarding Baroni’s next fight should be forthcoming soon.

I am going to issue a "false announced fight statement then retraction to the false announced fight statement" watch on Ken Pavia...
something is going on with that guy... He came out of nowhere and its interesting how he gets his name out there. Seems to be a s game of cheaply working the media. Not that I blame him...with a new sport with new agents all over the place...whatever it takes I suppose...

hahaha...no question he did the thing with Luke for exposure...
Seems like he got some results though...
So why exactly did they cancel the WCO event the day of the fight?
I asked timvp for vbookie on ufc 80. kori didnt respond on 79.
Lack of ticket sales. In California you have to have a sort of deposit with the CSAC guarenteeing %20 of the fighter purse.
From what I am reading they did an awful job promoting this event. No fighter interviews and poor advertising.
And thanks for finding that quote of me shooting off my mouth about Jardine and Chuck dallaskd…hah…good thing nobody took me up on it.
Damnit!!
