|  UFC 125, many bouts official for New Years day
- UFC 125, MANY BOUTS OFFICIAL FOR NEW YEAR'S DAY- MMA WEEKLY - Mixed Martial Arts & UFC News, Photos, Rankings & more Quote:
The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Monday made official its year opening party.
The promotion plans to kick off 2011 with UFC 125, headlined by lightweight champion Frankie Edgar defending his belt against undefeated Gray Maynard, the only fighter to ever defeat him.
UFC officials also confirmed a much talked about heavyweight match-up between Shane Carwin and Roy Nelson, along with a slew of other bouts for Jan. 1 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The nights announced featured bouts round out the card with Clay Guida against Takanori Gomi, Chris Leben versus Brian Stann, Nate Diaz facing Dong Hyun Kim, and Brandon Vera fighting Thiago Silva.
“We always put a huge card together in Vegas to kick off the New Year,” said UFC president Dana White. “This is going to be a killer start to 2011.”
Tickets for UFC 125: Resolution go on sale Saturday, Oct. 23 at 10 a.m. PT to the general public. UFC Fight Club members will have the opportunity to purchase tickets on Thursday, Oct. 21 at 10 a.m. PT via the website UFC.com. A special Internet ticket pre-sale will be available to UFC newsletter subscribers Friday, Oct. 22, starting at 10 a.m. PT. To access this presale, users must register for the UFC newsletter through UFC.com.
| This will be UFC's first event on New Years day. Hopefully they make it a tradition, but it's doubtful. They will probably stick with the Saturday night and sometimes Wednesday UFN cards.
Sounds like a decent card so far, I am sure it will only get better...I just hope everyone stays healthy until Jan. 1st.

I hope everyone makes it on the main card. But I could see Leben/Stann, and Vera/Thiago getting pushed to the spike portion, not both, just one of the fights.

Sick, sick, SIIIICK card, however the mere thought of New Years Day has me nauseous as sin and I'll probably be too hungover for this one.

STACKED card. Looking forward to this. Hopefully we will get to see all these fights. Some of these could be pretty short, giving us an opportunity to see them all.
I'm really stoked to see Diaz/Kim, Carwin/Nelson, and T.Silva/Vera. All of these are going to be exciting and explosive fights. Gomi/Guida is going to be a grueling fight (in a good way) and I think Leben/Stann has the ability to go the distance if Leben doesn't put Stann away early.
What a sick card. WAR SILVA!
