That isn't the full card yet but it certainly isn't bad so far. The title fight though is only for an interim belt.
There are some big names on there though for sure (Hendo, Shogun, Evans, Shields, Lil' Nog).

Nice! Thanks for that, I think that might be the best way to ensure I get in the building.
^as I was in the middle of typing that my mom called me and told me to do the same thing, I'm signing up right now

Still decided to go ahead and sign up, id rather have 2 shots at getting tickets (possibly, i guess). I wonder how many people they can get in the building

Agreed.
It is already pretty stellar. Plus we are all buy guaranteed action fights in the top 3 unless Rashad tries to put us to sleep. Shogun, Berry and Barao usually make for fun fights.

Thats a pretty awesome card, hopefully everyone can stay without injury. Stout is an amazing addition, this just keeps getting better and better!

Enjoy your flight
I wonder if we'll see Winnipeg's Ultimate Fighter alumni on the cards. Krzysztof Soszynski and Roland Delorme.
Man the former's name is a nightmare to spell.

Delorme is probable I'd guess (UFC usually gives hometown guys a shot); Krzysztof conversely is probably doubtful after he was absolutely destroyed by Pokrajac just over one year ago and hasn't fought since.

Delorme could whup my ass but everytime I see him he reminds of that timid-looking goofy actor Jay Baruchel.
Delorme already confirmed he is on the card as per his facebook page. Krzysztof is retired so I doubt he will be fighting, but we'll see.

Big country added to the card. He will face Stipe Miocic.

Has anyone heard about any pre-fight festivities? I know there will be the weigh-ins, is there tickets for that? Anything else?
So Calgary got screwed last year with last second cancellations by fighters on the main card due to "injury." Guess it's Winnipeg's turn this year.

Nogueira vs. Rua fight off due to an "injury" to Nogueira. UFC didn't even attempt to replace the fight. I mean why bother, right? The fight is already sold out and they alreasy have the people's money.
Yes, I know injuries happen, but I can't help but be suspicious with this being the second year in a row that a card in Western Canada had been decimated by injuries. I'm sure if it was Vegas, Dana White and UFC would have put some effort into replacing these fighters or the fighters themselves wouldn't have pulled out with "injuries."
UFC pulls the ol' bait and switch again.

Chael Sonnen was going to step in vs Rua, but he ran into visa issues (possibly because he is a convicted criminal).
I am not really concerned one way or the other. Losing two big fights sucks, but big fights do not always make good fights. Almost every year a card will be shat on heavily on the lead in a turn out to be one of the best cards of the year.
You never know how things are going to go until the guys get in there.
I'm still stoked.

I agree with you as well. It really is dissapointing that two of the fights have been canceled due to injuries but thats what happens in the fight game.
Sometimes the actual fightingis what makes it great and not the big names.
I am still stoked and looking forward to a fun night/weekend with good friends and entertainment. It will be a great experience as I have not had the chance to attend one live. Cant wait!
