With it being on a military base that may limit the ticket pool, check though you never know. If you do get tickets, plan on getting there 3-4 hours prior to get through the security check point at the front gate.

If they want him back for this card, they better hope the "Bully" doesn't beat him up too bad. Luigi Fiorivanti and Steve Bruno will probably end up on this card as well with their military backgrounds, despite losses in their most recent fights.

It would be awsome if UFC could sign Tim Kennedy and put him on this card, the place would go insane to see him fight. This is an awsome thing for UFC to do, can’t wait.

Zuffa has 4 fight cards in the month of December, can't wait for that month. Tons of good action.

Sam wrote, "The show, which will be broadcast on Spike TV, will be a fundraiser for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, a nonprofit organization that provides financial support to deceased and wounded U.S. military veterans. White indicated that viewers will be encouraged to call-in and donate to the fund during the broadcast." I wonder if the UFC is donating a percentage of the gate to the Intrepid fund? Anyone that can spare a dollar or two, please donate. As a retired Army nurse and a 100% disabled veteran, I say BRAVO! to the UFC for putting on this fundraiser for the troops in need.

But I guess when it comes to the UFC, it's a sink or swim situation. Kos/Yoshida looks like a great fight, but that’s a huge step up in competition for Yoshida so soon.

That fight should bring the house down. I hope they put Brian Stann on this card as well. It would be an excellent way to bring him into the UFC fold. Holy Shnikes…KOS vs. Yoshida???
