*Will update OP as we get closer to the event*

 

[Jean Valjean]

In for the Francisco "Massaranduba" Trinaldo fight.

 

[Maklershed]

Head to toe stacked event. Can't wait.

 

[parrotbeak]

RIP Leslie, we hardly knew you.

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

Stipe gonna do Ohio proud. Fantastic card.

 

[Yaari]

what a card. good stufff.

 

[Infernostew]

Such an awesome card. Probably the best one of this year so far and of the future announced events. Too bad I'll be at a wedding. Definitely following it on my phone though. Anyone know sites that will have like live updates or something?

 

[Fox318]

Really curious what the UFC does with Cyborg after this.

 

[Levito]

Really curious what the UFC does with Cyborg after this.

FEED ROUSEY TO HER

 

[Chesskid1]

 

[Fox318]

FEED ROUSEY TO HER

When she actually fights at a weight class the UFC features she can have the fight.

[alr1ght]

Hopefully if Anderson loses to Uriah fucking Hall, he hangs em up.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

I am scared for cyborgs opponent. Survive Leslie Smith!!! SURVIVE!!!

 

[K.Jack]

Really curious what the UFC does with Cyborg after this.

I wouldn't even have let her into the fold. She's not fully woman after all that testosterone use.

 

[Levito]

Yoink! I'll add this to OP

 

[StMeph]

This seems like an unusually great card.

 

[Neffarias_Bredd]

Fire card. Very interested to see how Belfort looks, although I have a feeling he's gonna get choked by the alligator

 

[Levito]

This seems like an unusually great card.

They're trying to fill up a 45,000 seat arena in Brazil!

 

[-MD-]

It's all so good on paper, hope it delivers.

 

[brentech]

I wouldn't even have let her into the fold. She's not fully woman after all that testosterone use.

She still can't even make weight to 135 and I doubt she ever will.

 

[StMeph]

They're trying to fill up a 45,000 seat arena in Brazil!

That explains why there's a Brazilian in every match.

 

[Yamabro]

Hopefully if Anderson loses to Uriah fucking Hall, he hangs em up.

Anderson is out of the fight on Saturday.

[brentech]

Figures. Probably going to get popped again.

 

[strikeselect]

Anderson is out of the fight on Saturday.

https://twitter.com/jason_floyd/status/730205525657391105

Hm. Must have been a mistimed cycle.

 

[Levito]

Anderson is out of the fight on Saturday.

https://twitter.com/jason_floyd/status/730205525657391105

GOD DAMN IT NO

 

[Yaari]

And thats 3 minutes after I just spoke to someone about how great a fight it would be against Hall.

Jeez. Days before the match. Bleh.

 

[BadAss2961]

Hopefully if Anderson loses to Uriah fucking Hall, he hangs em up.

I'd rather lose to Uriah Hall than Michael Bisping in 2016.

Doesn't get much lower than that for a legend.

 

[Neffarias_Bredd]

Anderson is out of the fight on Saturday.

https://twitter.com/jason_floyd/status/730205525657391105

Damn, has this been announced by the UFC anywhere? I dont want to believe

 

[Levito]

Of course right after I post the OT they announce Anderson is out.

 

[Vigilant Walrus]

Hopefully if Anderson loses to Uriah fucking Hall, he hangs em up.

To get through Uriah, you first have to get through Uriahs chin. ( https://twitter.com/urijahs_chin )

 

[-MD-]

Of course right after I post the OT they announce Anderson is out.

I just got done watching the new embedded and I click over to see the news article

So fucking lame.

 

[RBelong2Us]

Silva should just be the replacement if the Weedman or Luke Cuckold get injured. And if that goes smooth just have him on Ufc 200. That surgery isn't long term recovery

Added to the Op


Make me more sad the Spider isn't fighting

 

[parrotbeak]

BJ vs Hall. BJ would make 185 easier than Nate.

 

[ldcommando]

BJ vs Hall. BJ would make 185 easier than Nate.

 

[ldcommando]

Anderson Silva will undergo surgery this wednesday morning

 

[FaceTurn]

Can't believe Maia vs the immortal is prelim and not main.

 

[Jean Valjean]

Can't believe Maia vs the immortal is prelim and not main.

I believe now the fight will be 'promoted' to main event, BC of the Anderson situation.

 

[Levito]

Tim Kennedy wants to replace Anderson.

 

[Maklershed]

Wont that take away from his 'bitching on twitter' time?

 

[ldcommando]

updates:

Uriah Hall pulled from ufc 198 card
Anderson Silva surgery was a success
Alves - Barbarena moves to UFC 198 main card

 

[pixelation]

Rooting for Miocic, can't stand that stupid face Werdum likes to make all the time...

Thanks, adding to the OP.

 

[K.Jack]

Does Uriah get any compensation for all the work he put in, getting pulled this close to the event?

Shitty if not.

 

[Plywood]

Does Uriah get any compensation for all the work he put in, getting pulled this close to the event?

Shitty if not.

No.

 

[ldcommando]

He probably got something back. He came to Brazil
