Wow there is alot of MMA coming up

September 17th (Spike TV) - Jake Shields vs. Jake Ellenberger headlines a loaded main card in New Orleans at UFC Fight Night 25. This card also marks the return of middleweight contender Alan Belcher against Jason MacDonald, and rising FW star Erik Koch against TUF 12 winner Jonathan Brookins. The co-main is for some reason Court McGee vs. Dongi Yang but whatever.
September 24th (PPV) - UFC 135 in Denver features Jon Jones' first title defense against Quinton Jackson. I don't care what people say about Jon Jones, he is the future of this sport and will be one of the best to ever fight. Don't let your personal dislike cloud the fact that he has run through every opponent he has beaten and has dismantled opponents in ways no one ever has. There is no way he will flame out like Brandon Vera and there is no way he won't be a champion in the UFC for a long long time. Also on the card is Matt Hughes vs. Diego Sanchez in a fight that could vault Diego into the title picture. Nate Diaz also looks to duplicate his brother's success against Takanori Gomi without getting popped for drugs.
October 1st (Versus) - Dominick Cruz vs. Demetrious Johnson for the Bantamweight Championship. If you ask me, Dominick Cruz is one of the top p4p fighters on the planet and could be as dominant in his weight class as GSP or Anderson Silva. He's come close to defeat a couple of times but with a win over Mighty Mouse he'll have more title defenses than Miguel Torres, who is currently the only other person who could challenge him, and he's 2-3 in his last 5. This is the first free title fight on cable TV for the UFC since UFC 75: Rampage vs. Henderson. Other bouts include Pat Barry vs. Stefan Struve in what should be a fight of comical proportions, and Anthony Johnson against Charlie Brenneman. It should be a great night of action with the low ratings we've all come to expect on Versus.
October 8th (PPV) - UFC 136 is so stacked that they could remove Edgar vs. Maynard III and Aldo vs. Florian and it would still be a damn good card. The aforementioned title fights in Houston are the main attraction along with Chael Sonnen's return to the ring against Brian Stann, who luckily has no deep history of submissions. Melvin Guillard looks to rise up the LW ladder against Joe Lauzon. Wow this is a sick card. I haven't even mentioned the Spike TV portion with Demian Maia vs. Jorge Santiago and Anthony Pettis vs. Jeremy Stephens! Both fights that could headline a Fight Night caliber card and neither will disappoint. There's Dave Herman vs. Mike Russow on the main card, too. War Herman.
October 29th (PPV) - UFC 137 in Las Vegas. Georges St. Pierre vs. Nick Diaz and BJ Penn vs. Carlos Condit. Plus Hatsu Hioki's UFC debut against George Roop, which made the main card. You know, Nick Diaz could be GSP's Chael Sonnen. Honestly GSP should destroy Nick like Anderson was supposed to destroy Chael. Diaz loves to talk trash and will always put up a good fight. Chael Sonnen took the fight to Anderson Silva like no other fighter has ever done. He still got stopped but if we ignore a broken rib and TRTs then we know the blueprint to beat Anderson Silva. Nick Diaz has the striking and submission game to hang with GSP but absolutely no wrestling ability at all.....but strange things happen in MMA. GSP has been criticized for not finishing fights and not really pushing the pace, well Nick will force him to push the pace just like Chael forced Anderson Silva to work. Carlos Condit is arguably the best "bigger weight class" fighter to ever come out of the WEC and he's had no problem bringing his entertaining style and crushing finishes to the UFC. If he can beat BJ Penn he absolutely deserves the next title shot. The best thing about Condit? He's still in his 20s. And I haven't even mentioned Cheick Kongo vs. Matt Mitrione or Donald Cerrone vs. Dennis Siver, the latter fight on Spike TV this card is so loaded. Mirko Cro-Cop is fighting Roy Nelson in what will be a tragic fight but you know what? In light of the UFC 134 results....PRIDE NEVER DIE!!!!
November 5th (Spike TV) - UFC 138 marks the return to England and the first five-round non-title main event in UFC history. Chris Leben will concuss Mark Munoz within 1 minute so we won't have to worry about this one going the distance. It's a UK show so the card is filled with UK fighters with 60% of them likely to never make a dent in the promotion. Two good fights to look out for are Brad Pickett vs. Renan Barao and Thiago Alves vs. Pepe Abedi. If you notice a subdued crowd during this event it's likely due to the vicious beating Anthony Njokuani will deliver on Paul Taylor.
November 12th (UFC on FOX 1) - Cain Velasquez vs. Junior Dos Santos for the Heavyweight Championship of the WORLD ON FREE TV OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!! I'm sorry but this is self-explanatory.
November 19th (PPV) - UFC 139! The main event for this show in San Jose was supposed to be Cain vs. JDS but there will be a new one. There are still some great fights in place, including Urijah Faber vs. Brian Bowles and Martin Kampmann vs. Rick Story. Josh Koscheck will return to action at middleweight after GSP jabbed one of his eyes blind. Jon Fitch may also be on this card but he's the very definition of MMAmbien.
