More Bouts Added to Upcoming UFC Events

Brad Blackburn blocks kick
(Brad Blackburn is moving on up.)

The UFC has been busy this week. Between throwing together the July 19 Anti-Affliction show and preparing for the TUF 7 Finale on Saturday, someone in the Zuffa offices has definitely earned themselves a vacay (don't worry, Anderson Silva will fill in for you while you're gone).

For Saturday night's show, Tim Credeur vs. Cale Yarbrough has been officially added, bringing the total number of scheduled bouts to eleven. They won't all fit into the three-hour broadcast, but that might just mean we get spared having to sit through another Marvin Eastman joint.

For the July 19 show, former IFL fighter Brad Blackburn has reportedly been signed to take on fellow UFC newcomer James Giboo. As previously reported, another former IFL fighter, Reese Andy, will make his UFC debut as he welcomes Brandon Vera to the light heavyweight division.

While a lot of fans may not be familiar with Andy, he's a former college wrestling standout at the University of Wyoming who could potentially give Vera some problems on the mat. He's also competed at heavyweight before, so he probably won't be giving up too much weight.

Also expected on this card -- which is officially titled UFC Fight Night 14 -- is Frankie Edgar squaring off with Hermes Franca, Jake O'Brien and Cain Velasquez, and Kevin Burns against Anthony Johnson.

Oh, and that Anderson Silva guy will be taking on James Irvin. If that sort of thing interests you.

I think all this competition is great for us fans. You won't see me complaining about being able to watch 2 great shows during the weekend.

Hey fuck you Ben, Marvin is the man. Never been in a boring fight. Always comes out looking to whoop ass as long as Tito and Ricco don't KO him a week before. Marvin will take a TKO in the clinch.

Wow, I'm pretty excited for the return of Hermes Franca, and against Frankie Edgar, NICE! Vera, Anderson Silva, the UFC is taking the Anti-Affliction show seriously.

This card, is absolutely as good if not better than Affliction's. The only fight that Affliction has right now that trumps this UFC fight night card is Fedor Vs. Sylvia, and to be honest, I think Anderson Silva vs. James Irvin is going to be more exciting.

I think the UFC has officially "out-carded" Affliction.

Anthony "Knocked Tommy Speer Back to the Farm" Johnson, Anderson "God-Of-All-That-Is-MMA" Silva, Hermes "Yep I Shot Up, Ya Got Me" Franca, Frankie Edgar, Jake O'Brien, Cain "MY FUCKIN NAME ISN'T CAYENNE" Velasquez, not to mention Brandon "That Ref Fuckin' Sucks" Vera?

Dude.
This card is fucking PPV worthy.

>to watch 2 great shows during the weekend.

Get Dana's cock out of your mouth.

This UFC light and considering that the UFC cards were pretty light, this is gonna be Budweiser garbage light.

This is what happens when shitheads watch reality TV and consider those nobodies stars. Anyone excited at seeing Billy Vera fight must be in it for the cock and not the fighting.

Just because youve seen some douche on TV and he 'is famous', doesnt make him a good fighter.

And James Irvin in a headliner?
Why not just have him fight Bo Cantrell for a third time?

Thanks for reminding us that the HW class sucks in the UFC and wouldnt be worthy of an undercard.
