There's no way in hell they put Bader and Ortiz on this as well.

The card would be crazy

As far as Wandy not fighting Vitor, meh. Maybe Wandy doesn't want to rush into a fight with Vitor after his long layoff. I don't blame him. I wanted to see it too, but Wandy may not be ready yet. Leben may as much knock him out anyway.

Edit: I see Bader is already official.

Well I guess that makes sense.. if Penn isn't gonna be on the card.

I think Condit is still trying to get Penn
So, Cruz-Faber II
Penn-Condit
Ortiz-Bader
Silva-Leben

[ex carrabba fan]

Yeah but they already have Guillard, Siver and Stropopolis on the card... they gonna put one of their bouts on the undercard? I don't think they need to do that.

Champ Dominick Cruz vs. Urijah Faber (for bantamweight title)
B.J. Penn vs. TBA
Wanderlei Silva vs. Chris Leben
Melvin Guillard vs. Shane Roller
Ryan Bader vs. Tito Ortiz
Evan Dunham vs. George Sotiropoulos
Dennis Siver vs. Matt Wiman
Looks like a great card to me
Dunham is on a losing stream, sot just lost. Prob spike/fb prelims

Gotdamn that's a good card.

ESPN just reported that BJ is also hurt and out of 132.

Unless another big fight gets added, I don't think it will even get 325,000 buys.

The majority of UFC fans have no clue who Cruz is and while Faber was a big star in the WEC, he's also not well known among the casual fans.

I think the Silva/Leben fight is going to be fun but neither guy is a big draw.

[ex carrabba fan]

Hurt or not, like I said, having Penn on that card would definitely be overload. You would have main card caliber fighters on the undercard.

As it stacks up now, it's still gonna be a solid card. Sure it doesn't have another big fight, but all the other fights are solid.
