Bouts for UFC 78

Send News


I mentioned the other day that on Inside the Cage Radio with Matt Cava of UFC Takedown and Sam Caplan of Five Ounces of Pain Frankie Edgar confirmed a fight for UFC 78 with Spencer Fisher. That should be a fun bout in front of a hometown crowd for Edgar.

We've got more bouts for the 11/17 card in Newark, New Jersey.

1. Lightweight Bout: BJ Penn Vs. TBA
   
2. Welterweight Bout: Karo Parisyan Vs. TBA
   
3. Lightweight Bout: Joe Lauzon Vs. Jason Reinhardt
   
4. Lightweight Bout: Frankie Edgar Vs. Spencer Fisher
   
5. Middleweight Bout: Dave Terrell Vs. Ed Herman

A fun little show beginning to develop. A newspaper report the other day also listed this as the event where Tito Ortiz and Rashad Evans would have their rematch.

Frank Edgar Vs. Spencer Fisher at UFC 78

Send News


That's according to Edgar in a conversation for Inside the Cage Radio, a joint venture of UFCTakedown.com and Sam Caplan's 5 Ounces of Pain.com

and I agree with Caplan that if this isn't televised its a crime. Edgar who is 2-0 in the UFC will be fighting in front of a home crowd and his fight with Tyson Griffin was one of the best of the year.

Spencer Fisher was to face Din Thomas at Fight Night 11 on 09/19 but pulled out with a staff infection.

If this goes down, I'll be more jealous of Art should he end up attending this show as is tentatively planned.

Florian to replace Fisher at FN 11?

Send News


That's the word given in today's update at wrestlingobserver.com. Florian would be stepping in for Spencer Fisher who is one of a few MFS Fighters in Iowa who has contracted Staff Infection, Drew McFedries and Tim Sylvia also have it.

It would also add another TUF Alumn to a show that was built as a showcase of them.

The card...

1. Lightweight Bout: Din Thomas Vs. Spencer Fisher
   
2. Welterweight Bout: Mike Swick Vs. Jonathan Goulet
   
3. Middleweight Bout: Terry Martin Vs. Chris Leben
   
4. Lightweight Bout: Nathan Diaz Vs. Junior Assuncao
   
5. Welterweight Bout: Kuniyoshi Hironaka Vs. Thiago Alves
   
6. Welterweight Bout: Luke Cummo Vs. Edilberto Crocota

Spencer Fisher out of Fight Night 11 bout against Din Thomas?

Send News


That's the word according to a MySpace.com bulleton that came from his account.

Hey everybody. I just want all of you to know that I am out of my fight in September with Din due to a staph infection in my knee.

I used the ? in the heading of the post because when it comes to things posted on MySpace, it is always good to ? them.
