Default UFN 13 now 3 hours!
Finally, Spike has used their heads

UFC Fight Night 13 Will Be a Three-Hour Broadcast -- MMAjunkie.com

Quote:
UFC Fight Night 13 will be a three-hour broadcast on Spike TV, after all.

The UFC has made no official announcement, and Spike TV could not confirm the news, but a source close to the event exclusively told MMAjunkie.com (UFC News & Rumors - MMA News - UFC Fighters - UFC Event Recaps and Previews - MMAjunkie.com) that April 2’s UFC Fight Night 13 event will, in fact, run three hours.

The event takes place at the Broomfield Event Center near Denver, Colo., and features what is perhaps the most talent-rich fight card in Spike TV history. Kenny Florian and Joe Lauzon meet in the night’s main event, while fan favorites such as Clay Guida, Matt Hamill, Karo Parisyan, Frankie Edgar and Houston Alexander fill out the undercard.

The MMA fanbase recently kicked off a letter-writing campaign to Spike TV executives asking that the broadcast run three hours rather than the usual two. UFC President Dana White recently stated that the decision was Spike TV’s — and Spike TV’s alone — to make, which prompted a campaign fueled by MMA blogs and message boards.

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 UFC middleweight hopefuls, includes UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton Jackson and the original winner of “The Ultimate Fighter,” Forrest Griffin, as coaches.

Spike TV will likely announced news of the three-hour broadcast, as well as an updated televised card, this week, we’re told. With the late switch of Tim Boetsch for Stephan Bonnar, and the inclusion of additional televised bouts, the official card released by the UFC last week is expected to change.

The latest card, in no particular order (aside from the main event), now includes:

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

* — GracieFighter.com today confirmed that “The Ultimate Fighter 6” winner Nate Diaz (8-2 MMA, 3-0 UFC) has been added to the card. He’s expected to face Kurt Pellegrino (11-3 MMA, 3-2 UFC).

Good God. This is some of the best MMA-related news I've heard in a while...every one of those fights should be barn-burners.

Interesting addition of Pellegrino/Diaz, too.

I cant believe this card then with the addition of Diaz vs Pellegrino this could easily be a ppv card that I would pay to see and if its true its good on spikes part to turn it into 3 hours, just a quick question does anyone know why exactly UFC decided to stack this card so many name fighters?

Not only will it be a 3 hour telecast but 11 fights on the card, no one can diss this card at all and not be laughed at.

still think they could've saved a few of these for 83, but at least 1 April event is stacked

Wow, great news. I was just thinking how that card is one of the best cards, including PPV cards, Ive seen in a while. I easily would have paid PPV to watch it, every single fight is interesting
