UFC147 (June 23) looks like a snoozer

Main Card
Silva vs Franklin
Werdum vs Russow
Alcantara vs Dias

Prelims
Arantes vs Vieira


no, not Anderson Silva. He's in UFC 148 (Silva vs Sonnen) in July. Now that fight i want to see.

This one is Dana White saying "lets see if i can push the envelope on how low garbage i can get away with."
and laughing all the way to the bank

There may be decent prelim & undercard fights. I agree not much compared to that last Heavyweight card they showed.

Silva/Franklin 2 is a big fight actually. Both men usually draw well in any fight regardless. There have been much more boring cards in the past year than this. But the last card was very good.

It was rather funny that last night during the UF finale, they pretty much skipped over 147 to promote 148.

I wish the UFC had a fee scale for PPV, a card like this should be half priced.

Has been Franklin draws well?!

they could have rolled some has beens from UFC 148 to this one and named it appropiately.
ie: Ortiz

Just find a place to go watch it for $5-$10 bucks.

I prefer to watch big boxing events, where there's more than just street punks fighting that are covered in sponsorship paraphernalia that have worked out at an "MMA" gym for a couple years.

Franklin's still a fan favorite and outside of a semi boring fight with Forrest last year which wasn't even really that bad compared to a lot. His fights are always damn good. He's lost to Anderson x2, had a close decision to Hendo and a loss to Forrest. Dude's still top tier and Wand always brings it. It's going to be a sick fight, better than the Silva Vs Belfort it replaced. Vitor would have murked Silva again.

it could be a great card. i remember one that everyone was saying it was going to suck and it should be free. then ended up being one of the best PPV's i have ever seen.

just no huge names that i care to pay for heh

Where I live all the pubs and bars show UFC fights for free. Previously you had to pay a $10 cover.
