It's strange that the MEN Arena has no record of it on their books either.

It is deffinately happening as Bisping has confirmed his fight with Dennis Kang to be there and Joe Rogan as a standup date the night before.

Is it true that Bisping crapped in his shorts after Hendo knocked him out at UFC 100?

Randy Couture now headling UFC 105 at the M.E.N Arena. Looks like he's dropping back down to light-heavy to take on Brandon Vera. http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/ ... ne_ufc_105

I'm pleased I decided against going now, what a stinker of a card compared to the cards either side of it in the US.

How much longer do they reckon fans will pay to see bog standard cards over here?

As a note, people in the Manchester area, Dan Hardy and Michael Bisping are signing autographs at the MEN arena box office from 5.30pm tonight.

To be fair, if you're not an MMA aficionado, the likes of Couture, Lesnar, Liddell will always be a big draw. I went to an MMA event at the M.E.N hosted by Bas Rutten and I'd hazard a guess many went just to see the special guest, Mike Tyson, say hello.

It has always been the case in WWE too. A lot of its true aficionados despise the fact that the likes of Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Batista et al were the big draws while the technicians (or as technical as they can be in 'sports entertainment') were never given the main event platform.

I'm not sure when it's shown over here, but go out of your way to track down UFC Fight Night 19 from last night.

One of the best shows I've ever seen and two legit fight of the year contenders in Quarry v Credeur and Condit v Ellenberger.
