Etim vs Faaloloto
Alves vs Abedi

For UFC 138

It'll be good to see Terry Etim back! Hopefully he can get back to his best after his injuries, as he was on a little roll before the Dos Anjos loss. He should beat Faaloto who's done nothing to impress me in his UFC career.

Great to see terry etim back...its been a long time coming.!

Jason Young v Omigawa added to the card, that has potential to be a great fight!

Anyone catch the discussion on Talksport about the UFC today ?

The LG is the old NEC. It's right next to Birmingham International Train Station.

Followed the gist of it on Twitter. It didn't surprise me, that's the typical viewpoint of uneducated morons. The funniest thing was Darren Gough "I can't see it ever troubling Las Vegas' big venues..." He must have missed the event where they got 55,000 into the Rogers Centre!

Could someone please note what said discussion was about please? Surely they're not so uneducated they don't know about the UFC and all the regulation the sport has these days?

Basically compared boxing to the UFC (Well MMA as everyone pointed out to the presenters).

Gough watched a clip of the Pat Barry vs Cheick Kongo fight and wasnt impressed the way they allowed to punch in the face when the opponent was clearly on the floor and out cold. Called the sport barbaric etc....

A few callers came on (including amateur fighter Paul Goddard) to set the record straight about the controls etc...

Gough also said something along the lines of "I don't think it'll ever take off and get to big venues" proof it it was needed that he's never watched it before!

Pat Barry v Stefan Struve has been confirmed for UFC on Versus 6 (Also features Dominick Cruz v Demetrious Johnson).

Looking at this photo....I fail to see how Barry will be able to hit him....

No but he'll kick the cr@p out of his legs for 3 rounds!!

Moving on... Dan Henderson vs Fedor Eliminenko at the weekend, would love Henderson to bang him and retire the overrated Russian !! Then the week after, the shamobilc event which is Jason Barrett vs Alex Reid. Barrett been touring the cafes and restaurants looking to call out Reid and its worked. Sadly Reid will hammer him back to the hole he crawled out from, but Barrett got what he wanted, some exposure. The rest of the UCMMA card can be found here. www.ucmma.com/index.php?option=c ... Itemid=202 Where Fizz from Coronation Street takes on Karen Ousey.

Hendo will wrestle Fedor out of it for 3 rounds I reckon!

jesus, barry really is a short , i couldn't believe how big kongo looked compared to him.

Both Strikeforce and UCMMA are both on Primetime.

Am i thinking of something else then?? Now and again theres a british mma organisation thats on skysports..real tacky,has ian freeman on it an that real annoying bald guy!

cage rage?

No you are right, it is UCMMA.. the annoying bald guy is Dave O Donnell. I think they have struck a deal with Primetime to make this a PPV basically because its the RETURN OF ALEX REID !!

Cage Rage was bought by Elite XC I think, which then went bust. UCMMA is Cage Rage but with a new brand name.

UFC have signed UK bantamweight Vaughan Lee to a contract. He fights Chris Carisao at UFC 138. Tough fight for him, Carisao has fought Renan Barao recently and only lost a narrow split decision against Michael McDonald in his last fight.

Just watched the Fedor vs Henderson fight. Great fight to start with and to end too, a bit of cage work for most of the 1st round slowed the action down. Fedor knocked him down but went over the top when he went to pounce on Henderson on the floor, which meant Dan got to his feet quickly and hit him with an uppercut and Fedor went straight down face first. A few more blows and the ref stopped it.

Should have been Fedors fight really, but with his contract up I doubt anyones going to pay top dollar for a guy on a 3 fight losing streak. His immortality is long gone now.

Not seen it yet, but sounds like Paul Daley got out wrestled for 3 rounds again, but apparently showed a lot better defence against the wrestling and he didnt throw any sucker punches this time !

Daley showed really good takedown defence, the work he's done on it is clearly working. I scored the fight 29-28 Woodley, but it's a classic case of a wrestler laying and praying for 3 rounds. Daley actually went for a few submissions whereas Woodley wasn't overly bothered about improving his position. I wish MMA judges would start scoring for fighters who are on the bottom and do the majority of the work!
