UFC 79 had 10 fights, 82 is scheduled for 10 fights, and the April UFN looks like at least 10, maybe 11. Any theories as to why? My pet theory is that the UFC has signed too many fighters and suddenly finds themselves struggling to schedule fights for all of them.

I think you took home some of that Latin temper from Miama! But honestly, I agree with you 100%. Calling bullshit on a rumor being reported by a highly reputable news site just because it hasn't been officially announced is ridiculous. Take with a grain of salt, sure but outright calling it a lie is dumb. Damn, Sam.

It is a big deal. Stop telling trying to tell me what's allowed on my own site and how I should feel. No official announcement has been made but you don't even know who the source is. And if you believe a site can't report anything until something is officially announced, maybe you should stop reading this blog and all others because that's what a lot of blogs do -- BREAK NEWS BEFORE IT IS OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED. We do it all the time here at 5 Oz. and I think our track record for reporting speaks for itself. Countless times we've reported stories that weren't official, only to see them become official days later. So go call your media rep. I'll take Junkie's sources over yours any day of the week. That's all Derek, no big deal here. Derek, stop trying to put words in other people’s mouths. It is a big deal. Stop telling trying to tell me what’s allowed on my own site and how I should feel.

I can call my Media Rep right now and confirm that there is no 3 hour long fight night in Spikes TV scheduling. Unless this is some kind of thing that's going to happen last minute it's not in their scheduling for air times. That's all Sam no big deal here. Sam there’s no official announcement made.

You're questioning Junkie's reporting, which you really are in no position to do. He didn't report it was a rumor, which makes your statement incorrect. The site's track record for reporting speaks for itself. You can't be reckless and try to besmirch someone's reputation unless you have your facts straight, and in this case, you clearly do not. If you're going to say in public that someone's report is wrong on this site and not expect to be challenged, you better damn well state a reason why you feel the report is wrong.

This all just a big rumor. You have to think that the TV network has to allow their other programs to be able to run so they can be more diverse with their advertisers.

Pretty nice change for an awesome card. Nice step up in competition for Diaz as well. I think Pellegrino is going to beat his ass down though. I read that on MMAJunkie too.

They sell TUF season why not UFN???

I would think if Spike was willing to do so, they could easily fill the hour and even maybe tease us with a preview of the new season of TUF. Heck, interview Rampage and Forrest during the show or have them do so play-by-play. 3 hours of fights and then potentially the beginning of the prelimary round of TUF with 32 fighters fighting to make it in the house would be a great block of tv for spike.
