I guess this has already been discussed, but this sort of confirms Ortiz/Griffin

Quote:

according to UFC.com.

It will be the first show in Great Britain since UFC 38: “Brawl at the Hall” in 2002.

Here’s a snip from UFC Pres Dana White:

“We are very excited to be back in the UK,” said UFC President Dana White. We had a lot of obstacles over the last six years, but I never gave up on bringing the UFC back to the UK. Now we have our UK office up and running, we’re going to have fights in the UK and throughout Europe, so the UFC is here to stay.”

The event, which will held at the Manchester Evening News (M.E.N.) arena, features a bevvy of international mixed martial artists.

With the help of MMAWeekly.com, we have a good idea of who to expect:

Hvywt. : Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic (22-4-2) vs. TBA
205 lb.: Michael Bisping (12-0) vs. Elvis Sinosic (8-9-2)
205 lb.: Tito Ortiz (15-5) vs. Forrest Griffin (13-4)
205 lb.: Alessio Sakara (10-5) vs. Victor Valimaki (9-3)
185 lb.: Dennis Siver (10-3) vs. TBA
155 lb.: David Lee (5-2) vs. TBA
Hvywt.: Cheick Kongo (9-3-1) vs. TBA
170 lb.: Abdul Mohamed (12-4-2) vs. TBA
170 lb.: Jess Liaudin (10-8) vs. TBA

Note: None of these bouts are confirmed by UFC.com

As usual, UFC Fight Club members will have the first crack at purchasing tickets on Monday, February 19 at 10:00 a.m. via the new UFC UK Web site.

I'm going to hold my crap in all day long so I can just go sit on the shitter during the ortiz griffen fight.

Where is the title fight at? not really impressed with this card.

Im not gonna be happy if they pit Cro Cop Vs Arvlovski at UFC 70.

I want Cro Cop to have the belt and then let them duke it out for 5 rounds!

Not really impressed with this card, and theres too many new guys. Like who the hell is Abdul Mohamed?

As I have stated before, I think this would be a pretty solid card IF they put a title fight on it. And that would more than likely have to be Silva correct? But if there isn't a title fight (and knowing how the UFC doesn't like to load cards up too much I'm sure there won't be, which is BS) this card will be nothing more than average.
