Question about the next UFC card

Rhino_Man · 05-31-2006, 03:09 PM

I have to assume Dana knows the card already, why not release it??

I would think that these fighter need some time to prep for there fights, or am I totally off here??? Tell me if I am, I can take it

I imagine that when it is guaranteed, the card will be released. I’m not sure what all goes into it, but I imagine that since fights are usually announced in bunches, that some sort of negotiations or thinking has to go into it first.

I hear you though, I would love to kill the suspense and find out who is fighting on the next card as well. If nothing else, I would like to know who is fighting on the Ultimate Fight Night.

I seriously dont think he knows what the complete card is until every guy shows up for the weigh ins.

Yeah its bad to release a card too early because there is usually always someone dropping out from injury or other reasons. You don't want to hype up a card too early only to have it fall apart.
