Quinton Jackson vs. Rashad Evans Postponed, Thoughts on UFC 107
On December 12th at UFC 107 it was suppose to be Quinton Jackson vs. Rashad Evans in a light heavyweight bout and it was suppose to be the main event. However the fight is now postponed because Jackson has a role in the new A-Team movie. They expect the fight to take place in March of 2010 sometime. So where does that leave UFC 107. What will be the main event. Three fights have been announced so far.
-Lightweight Championship bout: B.J. Penn vs. Diego Sanchez
-Heavyweight bout: Frank Mir vs. Cheick Kongo
-Welterweight bout: Thiago Alves vs. Paulo Thiago
I must say it’s about time Diego Sanchez gets his title shot but to me that’s not a headline match. Who could you put in the octagon that hasn’t fought since August or before August. Here are some fighters not scheduled for UFC 103-106
Randy Couture
Anderson Silva
Forrest Griffin
Chuck Liddell
Georges St-Pierre
Dan Henderson
Wanderlei Silva
Matt Hughes
Matt Serra
Keith Jardine
That’s a list of names that come December will not have had a fight in quite sometime. There are a lot of great potential match up’s in that list of names so it should be interesting to see what UFC can pull together. Their December show is usually the biggest show of the year and I hope they can come up with a great replacement fight for UFC 107. Keeping checking back for the updated UFC 107 card.
