Doc, have you seen this?

UFC 85 Main Event: Matt Hughes vs. Thiago Alves

According to matt-hughes.com:

June 7th, in England, I fight Thiago Alves. The fight is confirmed, it will be the main event for the card. Dana just called me with the news. Chuck got hurt and couldn’t fight, so he needed a replacement and called me and I said yes. More news as I get it. No matter what happens in this fight, I’ve got Serra next.

as much as this “Frenchie” thinks your a douche bag, i also think you have a good point and i also would like to see Mir vs. Nog. i think the fight would end up a standing affair with Nog out boxing Mir.

Yeah I would buy Mir vs Nog if that ended up being the Main Event. Otherwise, I’m only going to watch it if its free. As much as I like “The Count”, a main event versus Leben wouldn’t be enough incentive for me to purchase the PPV.

i was kinda hoping for a Spike show when Shogun dropped out and it would be really cool if the UFC did do it on Spike, even more so because im sure the pay per view numbers are gonna drop big time with no Iceman selling it.

yeah no doubt Amir if Kalib didn’t fight that night everyone would be ripping on McCarthy. him saying he accomplished somethings and others were out of reach means “at least i got to fight in the UFC even though im not that good” its cool though it makes room for a good middle weight, Filho anyone?

Yea BV,

Pretty laughable that McCarthy is considered a seasoned “vet” in the UFC or that he even considers himself “successful” in this sport. McCarthy should have had his contract torn to pieces right next to Kalib’s, as far as I’m concerned. He’s just lucky that his performance was overshadowed by Starnes.

Charles McCarthy Retires:

“I would like to announce my formal retirement from mixed martial arts competition,” he wrote. “I have achieved many of the goals I set out to accomplish in this sport and found others just out of reach. It is now time for me to lay down my gloves and rededicate my attention towards my business, my fighters, my family and my team.”

I thought Mir was scheduled to face McCully here soon. If the fight does happen it would be a good one. Two of the best submission heavies battle it out. I’m a little torn but for some reason I think Mir would win. He’s started looking like his old self the last couple fights and is an very smart fighter. I would still order the PPV as usual but showing this live on Spike would be better.
