Gleison Tibau Def. Jeff Cox
CARE/Jabronis Pick: Cox (Euan) Tibau (Everyone Else)
Euan starts off 0-3 as Cox loses by first round submission. The 2 men with the nickname of “Grinder” were ground in to dead meat. Wade, Casey, Art and Ric improve to 1-2 and Scott is 2-1.

CARE/Jabronis Pick: Spratt (Wade, Euan and Art) McCrory (Ric, Scott and Casey)

Fisher, Stout Rematch to headline Fight Night from Florida

FIGHT NIGHT™ RETURNS TO FLORIDA
AT THE SEMINOLE HARD ROCK HOTEL & CASINO
IN HARD ROCK LIVE

SPENCER FISHER vs. SAM STOUT
JON FITCH vs. ROAN CARNEIRO

Tickets Go On Sale Saturday, May 12 at 12pm ET

Las Vegas, NV (USA) – The Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®) organization brings its UFC® Fight Night™ series of live events telecast on Spike TV back
to Hollywood, Fla. for its third event at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hard Rock Live. Headlining the South Florida card is Spencer “The King”
Fisher vs. Canada’s Sam “Hands of Stone” Stout in a highly anticipated rematch of one of 2006’s best lightweight bouts. As a special feature, undefeated
wrestling expert Jon Fitch will take on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specialist Roan Carneiro in a sizzling170-pound matchup. UFC Fight Night will take place inside
the Hard Rock Live and will telecast live on Spike TV Tuesday, June 12 starting at 9pm ET/PT (tape delay).



Tickets for UFC Fight Night go on sale Saturday, May 12 starting at 12:00pm ET and are priced at $250, $150, $100 and $50. All seats are reserved and available
at the Hard Rock Live Box Office, open daily from noon until 7 p.m. Tickets also are available at all Ticketmaster outlets online at www.ticketmaster.com

A special Internet ticket pre-sale will be available to UFC newsletter subscribers Friday, May 11 starting at 10:00am ET. To access this presale, users

With over 20 pro fights to his name in just four years, Spencer “The King” Fisher is one of the most active lightweights in mixed martial arts today. That
description can also apply to his aggressive fighting style, which led to two Fight of the Year candidates in 2006 as he went to war in successive bouts
against Sam Stout and Matt Wiman. Fisher finished off 2006 with an emphatic first round TKO win over Dan Lauzon at UFC 64 in October, and though he suffered
a setback when he was stopped by Hermes Franca in January, the Bettendorf, Iowa resident plans on extracting some payback from the man who gave him his
first UFC loss, Sam “Hands of Stone” Stout.

“Fighting in this sport, you want to be the best, and that’s what I strive to be, so fighting as the main event for UFC Fight Night is a dream come true,”
said Fisher. “I’m excited about this fight. I am going to go out there and try to submit him as fast as possible.”

Stout is the North American Welterweight Kickboxing champion, the Canadian lightweight Muay Thai champion and the Canadian lightweight mixed martial arts
champion. He is an excellent striker and seven of his eight MMA victories have come by knockout. This 23-year old striking ace, who is 1-1 in the Octagon,
hopes to duplicate his March 2006 win over Spencer Fisher and send the respected Team MFS fighter back to the drawing board.

“I’m twice the fighter I was when we fought last time. I beat him by majority decision, but I’m excited to fight him again. To beat him twice would be great!”
said Stout. “Being the main event, there is always a little more pressure, but I fight best that way. I’m looking forward to giving the millions of fans
watching a finish June 12.”

In a featured bout, Jon Fitch will face Brazilian Roan Carneiro in a three round welterweight battle. Fitch carries a simple philosophy when it comes to
fighting, stating, “I fight like a thief. If you leave a window open I will crawl through it and make you pay.” So far, that approach has worked like a charm as the former Division I wrestler from Purdue has compiled
five straight wins in the UFC without a loss, the most recent being a submission win over Luigi Fioravanti at UFC 68 in March of this year. But to continue
his upward climb in the sport’s most competitive division, 28-year old Fitch must get by tough BJJ expert Roan Carneiro.

Once Rio de Janeiro native Carneiro got a foothold in the world’s most competitive sport, he ran off a five-fight win streak that stamped him as a fighter
to watch. With tenacity, talent, and a devastating Anaconda choke, this 29-year entered the Octagon for the first time in April and defeated standout veteran
Rich Clementi. Now he faces Fitch and looks to establish himself as one of the best 170-pounders in the UFC.

The remaining bouts for UFC Fight Night will be announced shortly. All bouts are subject to change.

Early MMA Newsbits for 05/01

According to a post at Sherdog.com, looking at the show which will take place June 12 and not June 9 as previously reported, a Minatoro Nogueira Vs. Justin McCully match could headline. The story goes on to state that if the fight doesn't happen on 6/12 it could happen at the Ultimate Fighter finale on June 23.

The rumored card as it stands:

Spencer Fisher Vs. Sam Stout
Drew McFeddries Vs. Jordan Radev
Stephan Bonnar Vs. Mike Nickles
Luigi Fioravanti Vs. Forrest Petz

While I'm here, the WEC show on May 12 has undergone another change as Jamie Varner has been forced off the card with a rib injury.

At UFC 73, could we see Chris Lytle Vs. Jeff Joslin?

Joe Lauzon has another recap of TUF 5. Seriously, his articles are great. Joe talks a lot about Gabe "Easy way out" Ruediger and so why not profile him?

Chuck Liddell says that he'll end the string of upsets at UFC 71.

UFC.com has video of Rampage training for the fight.

I'll have more stuff later this afternoon.

It just gets hotter and hotter.

According to this story you can pencil in Fight Night 10 for June 9 2007.

This officially makes June vorse than Hulk Hogan in terms of the amount of shows.

8. The Ultimate Fighter Live Finale: June 23
   
9. WWE Vengeance: June 24
   

You'll forgive me if I've forgotten something. It helps that a number of these events I won't have to pay for. It is worse if you count Saturday Night's Main Event which airs on June 2.

This was April's Schedule if you've already forgotten.

Casey and Euan Audio Assault for 04/09

Euan and I recorded a show so big we had to split it in to 2 parts.

Part 1 looks at Fight Night Live, iMPACT, Smackdown, UFC 69 and Pride 34.

Part 2 we take a look at some disturbing news from the world of disturbing news.

I apologize for the echo, I have recently purchased a new microphone and it does its job a little too well. So, now it picks up Euan in my computer speakers so you hear everything he says twice which is bad enough. However, rest assured I am committed to making this thing sound as good as possible and the new microphone has improved the audio quality somewhat, and I assure you for the TNA preview show, the speakers will not be heard in the background.
