UFC 73 : Stacked

by marco054 on Jul 5, 2007 2:41 PM CDT

It has been a very boring time for Sox fans lately except for trade rumors so I figured I'd post about Saturdays UFC event. I've been following the UFC for awhile and absolutely love it. UFC 73 is suppose to be the most exciting event the UFC has ever had. It is featuring two title fights and two other great fights along with all the undercard fights which are usually just as great.

Middleweight Championship (185lb)
Anderson Silva (champ) vs Nate Marquardt

Lightweight Championship (155lb)
Sean Sherk (champ) vs Hermes Franca

Tito Ortiz vs Rashad Evans (205lb fight)
-Ortiz is a former Light Heavyweight Champion
-Evans was the Ultimate Fighter 2 Champion
-Winner of this fight could be looking at a title shot

Antonio "Minotauro" Nogueria vs Heath Herring
-Minotauro is one of the top 5 Heavyweights in the world and is making his UFC debut after fighting in Pride for years.

I highly recommend that you should get the fight. It costs $40 to get the event and the fights are about 3 hours long. Its always a good event to get people together and drink a few beers while watching it. Thats definitly what I'll be doing on Saturday and if you get people to chip in its even better. Well just thought I'd inform you guys/gals of this event so if you got nothing to do on Saturday then order it.

Oh yea for any type of MMA news check out www.bloodyelbow.com its a great site

I will be missing it

I watched UFC 71 & 72 and enjoyed both. I'd like to watch UFC 73 but I will be out of town. So, I guess I won't be able to watch it.

Go Badgers!

that sucks

71 was awesome and I skipped 72 because of the timing since it was in Ireland

Damn Sox

PPV for like a week. You'll have to look though cause i'm not sure of the times. I know Youtube can't have any UFC fights on it.

Damn Sox

well have fun

I know they show it a few more times during the week so you can order it then. I think its still costs 40 though but just avoid the internet and you'll never know who won

Damn Sox
