Leben vs Biping is off. Leben has to serve 35 days in jail.

^^I wanted to see Leben beat Bisping.

Gamespot.com is reporting that THQ has announced that the upcoming UFC video game will be released in the spring of 2009. Below is an excerpt from an article on Gamespot.com:

"That isn't the only fight for which THQ is spoiling, as the publisher also addressed today the Ultimate Fighting Championship game, which has kept an exceptionally low profile since the 2007 E3 Media and Business Summit. That project will now see release in spring of 2009, and like Legends of Wrestlemania, its release will be tied to one of the UFC's major events."

Rashard Evans is off the London show. They should just cancel the show at this point, or just put it on Spike. There's no way you can justify a $40 price tag for that show, no way.

I agree... this card just isn't PPV worthy - there's not one "big" match-up (...compare it to UFC 84 where there are THREE huge matches!).

It should be a Spike show - or just cancel/postpone the whole thing a few months until Liddell and Shogun are fit (...make all the tickets sold still be valid etc.).

Word is if Hughes beats Alves this weekend, his next fight will be against Serra.

[Nintendomark]

I think he fights Serra win or lose. I really want to see that fight especially after watching TUF 5.

[Steve O'Mac]

Yeah - we're definitely owed this fight after TUF season they did. It's a real shame Serra got injured - that fight had a fantastic build-up!
