UFC Releases UFC Fight Night 13 Televised Card
Posted by MMA Junkie on February 14, 2008 at 9:30 am ET

UFC Fight Night 13The UFC has released its televised card for UFC Fight Night 13, a Spike TV event that takes place April 2 at the Broomfield Event Center near Denver, Colo.

The 10-fight event, headlined by a lightweight bout between Kenny Florian and Joe Lauzon, is arguably the deepest and most talent-rich fight card in Spike TV and Fight Night history.

As of now, the broadcast is set for two hours. However, MMAjunkie.com (UFC News & Rumors - MMA News - UFC Fighters - UFC Event Recaps and Previews - MMAjunkie.com) recently spoke to a Spike TV representative who said the cable station is considering making it a three-hour broadcast to squeeze in an extra fight or two. Currently, only four fights are guaranteed TV time. However, a number of websites — with FightLinker.com leading the charge — have bombarded Spike TV with email requests for an additional hour of broadcast time.

Time will tell if it works.

The official card for the event — for now — includes:

MAIN CARD

* Kenny Florian vs. Joe Lauzon
* Thiago Alves vs. Karo Parisyan
* Tim Boetsch* vs. Matt Hamill
* Houston Alexander vs. James Irvin

PRELIMINARY CARD

* Frank Edgar vs. Gray Maynard
* Marcus Aurelio vs. Spencer Fisher
* Josh Neer vs. Din Thomas
* Clay Guida vs. Samy Schiavo
* Roman Mitichyan vs. George Sotiropoulos
* Anthony Johnson vs. Tommy Speer

* — Boetsch, a replacement for injured Stephan Bonnar, has not yet been confirmed by the UFC.

UFC Fight Night 13 will serve as a lead-in for “The Ultimate Fighter 7,” the latest installment of the UFC and Spike TV’s hit reality series. The seventh season of the show, which will feature 32 middleweight hopefuls, includes UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson and the original winner of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Forrest Griffin, as coaches.

Is may be just me...But personally the prelim card is by far better than some previous UFN televised cards....

At the very least...If they can't make this a 3 hr. event.... I think Edgar should be switched with Hamill since Bonnar is out...but either way...I really think the UFC over stacked this card.

This is the shit, that's for sure.

the hamill fight should be replaced with the fisher or edgar fights now that bonnar is injured, but dunno. very solid.

You imagine if they actually add extra time?
That Fight with Edgar and Maynard should be foolish.
I hope to god Clay wins...he definitely needs it.

All in all I'm pretty stoked.

[Bran]

you know, i'm mad that certain fights are on the undercard, but i don't wanna replace them with any fights that are on the main card. its really a perfect card.

[Quintessential Studmuffin]

Looks pretty good. I would however make Karos fight a prelim. His fights are always hit or miss. Some can be fights of the nights,and others can be 3round huggers/anti climatic UD's.


Regardless this entire card is insane,and its a shame every fight wont be televised.

[foundstarr]

I'm so going to this event, I hope they extend it to 3 hours for everybody to see. I want everyone to see this whole card becasue its fantastic for a free tv event.

[kingrobert]

That would be great if Spike lets the UFC have 3 hours. I really want to see the Edgar fight and wouldnt mind seeing how Tommy does to.

This will be a hit, trust me. No way Alves let's this be boring, no way.
