ULTIMATE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP® RETURNS TO MANCHESTER, ENGLAND, NOVEMBER 14
MICHAEL ‘THE COUNT’ BISPING AND DAN ‘THE
OUTLAW’ HARDY TAKE ON DANGEROUS ASSIGNMENTS ON NOVEMBER 14, AS BRITAIN’S LEADING MIXED MARTIAL ARTISTS COMPETE TOGETHER ON ONE NIGHT
PLUS MAIN EVENT TO BE ANNOUNCED
London, England – The Ultimate Fighting Championship® organization will once again illuminate the United Kingdom this winter, as UFC 105 heads to the MEN Arena in Manchester, England on Saturday, November 14.
Showcasing a fascinating middleweight (185lbs) showdown between British hero Michael ‘The Count’ Bisping and Denis Kang, as well as a welterweight (170lbs) battle between Dan ‘The Outlaw’ Hardy and Kim Dong-Hyun, UFC 105 will act as a coronation night for the sport of mixed martial arts in the United Kingdom.
Having enjoyed unprecedented success inside the Octagon® in 2009 - including the addition of two new Ultimate Fighter® winners – Great Britain will celebrate on November 14 with a stacked card of leading talent from home and abroad.
Tickets for UFC 105 are priced at £250, £150, £100, £85, £65 and £40 and go on sale for UFC Fight Club members on Thursday, September 10 and for UFC Newsletter subscribers and MEN Arena Newsletter subscribers on Saturday, September 12.
Tickets will then go on general public release on Monday September 14 and will be available via ticketmaster.co.uk and the MEN Arena box office from 10AM.
** Both Michael Bisping and Dan Hardy will be signing autographs at the MEN Arena box office from 5:30pm on Monday September 13.**
#With make-or-break the order of the day at UFC 105, Clitheroe’s Michael Bisping knows only too well the danger he faces against Denis Kang.
The Ultimate Fighter® (TUF®) season three winner remains determined to challenge for the UFC middleweight title and knows that a win over Kang at UFC 105 is imperative.
“Kang is a very good fighter and one of the best in the division,” said Bisping, Britain’s first ever TUF champion from 2006. “This is exactly the sort of fight I need to get right back up there and prove that I’m one of the top guys in the division.
“I’ve watched Kang’s fights over the years and he is very dangerous on the ground with his submissions and is also a powerful striker on his feet. Plus, he’s an explosive fighter. He can explode into a huge strike or takedown from nowhere, which makes him very unpredictable.
“Another thing I’ve noticed is that he never seems to gas in his fights. Going into a fight I can usually plan a strategy and rely on the fact that I will be fresher in the last round than my opponent. However, with Kang I can’t count on that. He’s a great athlete on top of everything else and this could be a very fast-paced fight from start to finish.”
The 30-year-old Bisping (17-2) kicked off the UFC’s invasion of the United Kingdom in April 2007 at UFC 70, when he defeated Elvis Sinosic at the MEN Arena, Manchester. Bisping received staggering support that night, prompting one respected British sports writer to hail the atmosphere as the loudest he’d ever heard at the famous fight venue.
Since that historic evening, Bisping has taken the UFC by storm, scoring wins over Eric Schafer, Sinosic, Matt Hamill, Charles McCarthy, Jason Day and Chris Leben. Now firmly established as one of the UFC’s premier middleweights, Bisping looks to claim the scalp of the hugely respected Kang at UFC 105.
“Both Kang and I are looking to take that next step up the ladder to the top of the division, and there’s so much on the line for both of us,” added ‘The Count’. “I have things to prove and cannot wait to go in all guns blazing in front of my hometown fans in Manchester.”
A talented and battle-tested middleweight, Kang (32-11-1, with 2 No Contests), the Canadian-based ‘Super-Korean’, has faced some of the best fighters in the world, and boasts PRIDE wins over Akihiro Gono and Murilo ‘Ninja’ Rua. Most recently the 31-year-old Kang defeated Xavier Foupa-Pokam over three rounds at UFC 97.
Excited by the potential for fireworks between Bisping and Kang, UFC UK Division President Marshall Zelaznik said: “Both fighters know how important victory will be on November 14 and that can only raise the intensity even further. If UFC 70 was anything to go by, UFC 105 at the MEN Arena will have a furnace-like atmosphere and Michael and Denis are the kind of warriors to thrive on such an atmosphere. This fight could be very special.”
Fireworks are also expected whenever Dan ‘The Outlaw’ Hardy (22-6, with 1 No Contest) enters the Octagon. The Nottingham-based welterweight is enjoying a hot-streak of three straight UFC wins and appears to be getting better with each fight.
The charismatic and dynamic Hardy kicked off his UFC career last October with a thrilling three-round decision verdict over Japanese star Akihiro Gono. ‘The Outlaw’ then signalled his concussive punch power in February, as he emphatically knocked out Rory Markham in just 69 seconds of the first round in London.
The 27-year-old Hardy’s biggest victory to date arrived in June when, following months of bad blood, as he outscored bitter rival Marcus Davis over three hard-fought
rounds.
Standing in his way on November 14 will be Korean sensation Kim ‘Stun Gun’ Dong-Hyun (12-0-1, with 1 No Contest). Currently unbeaten in his mixed martial arts career, Kim has scored UFC wins over Britain’s Jason Tan, Matt Brown and TJ Grant. Armed with some of the most eye-catching judo throws in the sport, Kim looks to present Hardy with a stern test of his credentials at UFC 105.
“Both Mike and I are in there with very dangerous opponents, but at this level that’s what you get,” said Hardy, 3-0 inside the Octagon. “Kim is technically unbeaten and, while he’s been under pressure in his career, has always found a way to win. I will have to break him. He can control people on the ground with his judo and can land strikes. He can boss you on the ground for 15 minutes and that will be his plan.
“But I plan to put a beating on this guy that is so nasty and so one-sided it will be uncomfortable viewing for all the other welterweights in the UFC. I am going to beat him up for a while and then I will catch him with something that really hurts him - then he’ll go to sleep.
“Kim will want to take me down with his judo and bash me up on the ground, but every time he gets close he will eat an elbow or knee in the face. I don’t want a decision, I guarantee a knockout in this one.”
UFC 105 will be screened LIVE on ESPN in the UK and Ireland.

- COUTURE VS. VERA AGREED TO FOR UFC 105
Sunday, September 13, 2009 - by Steven Marrocco - MMAWeekly.com
A light heavyweight match-up between five-time UFC champion Randy Couture and Brandon Vera is targeted for UFC 105.
The news was first reported by British website Telegraph.co.uk. According to MMAWeekly.com's sources, both fighters have verbally agreed to the fight and are expected to receive bout agreements shortly.
UFC 105 is set for Nov. 14 at the Manchester Evening News Arena in Manchester, England.
Couture (16-10) appeared last month at UFC 102, losing a unanimous decision to former Pride and interim UFC champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira in a bout considered by many to be an instant classic. Following the bout, Couture hinted at a possible drop to 205 pounds, where he fought for nearly three years, thrice winning title honors.
Vera (14-3) fought alongside Couture on the Pacific Northwest card last month, winning a unanimous decision victory over Krzystzof Soszynski. Once a heavyweight himself, Vera has notched a 3-1 Octagon record as a light heavyweight.

I think Randy is gonna win this one, he has to get a win after the two losses besides Vera's last fight was exactly the most thrilling.

Vera has been soooo painfully boring ever since he dropped down to light-heavy weight, i hope this fights lights a fire under his ass and he starts knocking people out with that sick striking he used to dominate with. I predict another borefest tho.

Brandon has all the talent in the world. Enough to beat Randy. He's great on the ground and his muay Thai is awesome. But for some reason he can never show up in his big fights. We know Randy is someone you can never bet against. We'll see what happens. I can't wait.

Considering I'm from London I will say I can't stand Bispin. Anyways Kang is a very underated fighter and teaches in Victoria BC where I basicaly grew up. It will be a interesting fight. If Kang wins he will fly to the top of the rankings and once again Bispin will be exposed.
For the first time in his 13-year career, Randy Couture will headline a UFC event on Spike TV. UFC 105, which will take place Nov. 14 at the Manchester Evening News Arena in Manchester, England, will air on same-day tape delay at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on the cable channel. Couture will face light heavyweight Brandon Vera.
Couture, 46, will make his return to the 205-pound division following his loss to heavyweight Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira at UFC 102 on Aug. 29 in Portland, Ore. It will be the third time the four-time Olympic Greco-Roman wrestling alternate has moved between the two UFC divisions. Couture has captured the UFC heavyweight title three times, the light heavyweight title twice, and also won an interim light heavyweight title in 2003.
Vera, 32, earned a unanimous decision against Krzysztof Soszynski at UFC 102, and collected a key win against former heavyweight champion Frank Mir before dropping to the light heavyweight division in July 2008. Vera is 3-1 in the 205-pound ranks.
Also on the card, British striker Dan Hardy will face off with Mike Swick in a welterweight title elimination bout, while homegrown favorite Michael Bisping will return in a middleweight contest against Denis Kang.

Paul Kelly vs. Dennis Siver
Round 1
Siver batters Kelly with an array of strikes, but most notably a pair of left hooks. Kelly closes the distance and grabs a front headlock and knees to the legs and body of Siver, sending a chorus of cheers up from the English crowd with each shot. Siver continues to get the better of the striking exchanges, but Kelly scores a takedown with just 15 seconds left in the round. Sherdog.com scores the round 10-9 for Siver.
Round 2
Siver and Kelly trade punches and Kelly, again, tries to take the fight to the mat. Unsuccessful, Kelly is force to stand and Siver takes advantage. He lands a picture-perfect spinning-back kick to the midsection that folds Kelly in two and puts him on his seat. Siver swarms before backing away and inviting Kelly to stand. In obvious pain, Kelly struggles to his feet only to be overwhelmed by Siver strikes. Referee Dan Miragliotta stops the bout at 2:53 of the second frame. Kelly stays down on the mat for a couple minutes as he is tended to. He leaves the cage with help of his team, who are holding a bucket in front of him in case he has to vomit.

Etim vs. Gugerty.
Terry Etim vs. Shannon Gugerty
Round 1
The fighters circle for nearly a minute, exchanging measured shots before Gugerty rushes in for a takedown. Etim clinches along the cage and lands a nice short-left elbow. Referee Dan Miragliotta breaks them and Etim starts to stalk Gugerty in earnest. He snaps his head back with a jab after punctuating a punching combo with a nice low kick. Gugerty stays out of range for the rest of the round and scores with a takedown in the closing seconds. The close first round gets a 10-10 on the Sherdog card.
Round 2
Round two begins with an Etim head kick that is partially blocked by Gugerty. He follows it with a low kick that spins his foe. Gugerty shoots in, but Etim grabs an underhook and jumps into an arm-in guillotine. Gugerty tries to fight it, off but Etim adjusts the choke by rolling over and locking in a body triangle. Gugerty can not resist any longer and taps out at 1:24 of the second frame.
Paul Taylor vs. John Hathaway
Round 1
Hathaway scores an early takedown after a brief exchange and settles into Taylor's guard. Taylor tries to break free but is put right back down by Hathaway. Referee Kevin Mulhall doesn't believe there is enough action on the ground and stands the bout back up. Hathaway immediately plants Taylor with another takedown. Hathaway gets to work on the mat, punching Taylor from the top position. Taylor is warned by Mulhall for an upkick while Hathaway is grounded. Hathaway is not affected and continues to punch from the top. Round one goes to Hathaway on the Sherdog card, 10-9.
Round 2
Hathaway scores with a right hand and takes Taylor down. He elbows the head repeatedly as Taylor attempts to tie him up. Hathaway moves to side control and elbows some more before Taylor gets his guard back. Hathaway stands, and Taylor goes for a leglock. Hathaway easily escapes and punishes Taylor for the mistake. Hathaway lands in half-guard and batters Taylor with punches and elbows. A game Taylor valiantly tries to fight back, but Hathaway has been too much to this point. Hathaway takes round two 10-9 on the Sherdog card.
Round 3
Hathaway takes the fight back to the mat to start off round three. He is abusing Taylor from half-guard again. Taylor backs up against the cage in hopes of using it to aide him back to his feet but Hathaway pulls his legs out and flattens him. He then punches away from the top again. Hathaway stands in Taylor's guard along the cage and punches before sinking back into his guard to continue the one-sided assault. Hathaway is having his way again in the third, just teeing off from inside the guard with a minute left in the fight. Taylor rallies up to his feet for a brief moment but is pushed back to the mat as the final horn sounds. Hathaway takes round three again on the Sherdog.com scorecard 10-9.
The official scores are 30-27 (twice) and 30-26 for Hathaway, who takes the unanimous decision.

(http://www.sherdog.com/pictures/gallery/fighter/f_36618/100827/48)Dave Mandel/Sherdog.com
Pearson vs. Riley.
Lots of feinting in the first minute from the orthodox Pearson and the southpaw Riley, but nothing lands clean. Pearson lands two short right hands, and comes back with a low kick. Riley lunges with his left hand and misses, and Pearson retaliates with a head kick which is partially blocked. Pearson gets the collar tie on Riley, and swings him into the fence, landing punches and knees. Pearson is all over Riley against the fence, bashing him with knees and punches to the head and body. At range, Pearson continues to land short punches, and puts a loud kick into Riley’s midsection. Pearson continues his multi-faceted attack, with a head kick, followed by a volley of punches that Riley can’t seem to escape. Riley goes for a half-hearted single-leg attempt, which Pearson easily shakes off. Pearson easily sucks Riley into the clinch again, and lands another handful of knees before the horn sounds.
Jordan Breen scores the round 10-9 Pearson
Brian Knapp scores the round 10-9 Pearson
Loretta Hunt scores the round 10-9 Pearson
Round 2
Lazy Riley kicks allow Pearson to land a series of right hand counters, pushing Riley into the fence again. Riley lands a series of stern elbows in the clinch, while Pearson puts a knee into his gut. They separate, and resume boxing from distance, with nothing landing until a clean left hook from Pearson. Pearson doubles his right hand, and lands both on Riley, who has been two steps behind the whole bout. Riley continues to throw lunging left hooks and miss. Pearson grabs Riley’s neck as he wades in, and lands a volley of knees, punctuated with a flush jumping knee that smashes Riley’s nose. Blood instantly begins to flow out of Riley’s nostrils, prompting referee Marc Goddard to call for a doctor check. The doctor takes one look at Riley’s bloody nose, and says, “That’s got to go,” making Ross Pearson the victor at 4:38 of the second round.
James Wilks vs. Matt Brown
Round 1
Brown bulls Wilks into the fence, but Wilks quickly pummels, putting Brown’s back against the cage. Brown lands a stern elbow over the top, and Wilks drops levels for a takedown. Brown defends, but as he turns away, Wilks jumps on his back for a moment. They each have over-unders again, as Wilks fights for a takedown without success until Leon Roberts breaks the pair up. Brown flurries with his hands, landing with two clean right crosses before Wilks pushes him into the fence again. Wilks again can’t find the takedown, and Leon Roberts again separates them. Wilks lands a clean head kick and a cross, forcing Brown back into the cage, but even with double underhooks, can’t get Brown on the floor. Another single-leg takedown attempt from Wilks is defended by Brown, who locks up a guillotine with a figure-four grip standing, wrenching it tight before Wilks finishes the takedown. Brown quickly scoots up the fence to his feet as the round ends. Wilks has some swelling under his left eye.
Round 2
Both fighters more active from range early, Wilks landing jabs, but Brown lands a clean counter hook. Brown explodes with a flying knee, and a staggered Wilks slowly falls to the mat. Brown pounces on top, pounding away on Wilks, who is able to compose himself enough to go for an Achilles lock, which Brown thwarts, and escapes to his feet. Wilks is now visibly tired, as Brown shakes off his takedown attempt. Brown lands two nice chopping elbows, but the tired Wilks keeps his punches straight, forcing “The Immortal” into the fence again as he seeks a single-leg takedown. The left side of Wilks’ face continues to swell underneath the eye as he continues to fruitlessly grind Brown into the fence until Leon Roberts separates them again. On the reset, Brown easily lands a six-punch combination -- one to the body and five to the head -- that rocks Wilks and forces him to sloppily shoot in. Brown continues to pound on top, but Wilks still has enough presence to bridge and roll Brown straight into side control. The visibly gassed Wilks can’t land much offense on top as Brown regains guard. Wilks dives into Brown’s guard, straight into a tight triangle as the horn goes.
Round 3

(http://www.sherdog.com/pictures/gallery/fighter/f_36618/100828/48)Dave Mandel/Sherdog.com
Brown vs. Wilks.
The pair trade straight punches, which land without much mustard. Wilks’ punches remain straight despite now coming at half speed. The pair ends up clinched against the fence again, and Wilks is able to wrangle a standing kimura on Brown, and drops to guard. Wilks gets full guard, and tries to sweep Brown to full mount with the kimura, but can’t get his arm close enough to his body to crank it. Brown rolls and escapes, and it appears that the kimura was the last salvo Wilks had in him. Wilks goes for a desperate takedown, and Brown squats on a guillotine, pushing himself into top control. Brown easily takes mount on the exhausted Wilks, and begins to rip away with right hooks. Wilks rolls to his stomach and offers no defense to Brown’s torrent of punches, forcing Leon Roberts to intervene at 2:27 of the third round.
Michael Bisping vs. Denis Kang
Round 1
A Bisping head kick is the first significant strike of the bout, but is blocked. Lots of anxious feinting and missed jabs from both fighters. Bisping comes forward straight into a short right hook which puts him on the mat. Kang dives into his full guard, and immediately begins to work on top. Kang methodically works his way to side control, and looks to power his way to mount before Bisping regains half guard. Kang relentlessly trying to pass, flirting with quarter guard and full mount, but the Brit continues to regain position on the bottom. Kang finally gets to a better mount, and lands a nice elbow and punches to follow, but Bisping continues to show great hip escapes, getting back to full guard. Bisping continues to trap Kang’s right arm and looks for armbars, but Kang diligently pounds on top. A third armbar attempt from Bisping is closer, but allows Kang to momentarily pass to side control. The round ends with Kang smothering in half guard.
Jordan Breen scores the round 10-9 Kang
Brian Knapp scores the round 10-9 Kang
Loretta Hunt scores the round 10-9 Kang
Round 2
A pair of early Bisping head kicks meet nothing but air. A lunging overhand right from Kang lands on Bisping. Kang continues to look for the short right hook as Bisping comes in. Bisping drops levels for a takedown, transitions to a single-leg takedown, and finishes in Kang’s full guard. Bisping postures up and liberally throws down rights and lefts as Kang tries desperately to escape. Kang finally gets back to his feet, but is cut and looks shaken. Bisping gets another takedown, and mashes on top again as Kang rolls to escape, being pounded the whole way. The tide of the fight has quickly turned in favor of the former “Ultimate Fighter” winner. With a minute to go, Bisping gets an effortless double leg, and continues to pound on Kang, who looks completely inert and helpless. As Dan Miragliotta warns Kang that he needs to defend himself, he gets to his feet, only to be pelted with more knees and punches that force him right back down to all fours. Miragliotta steps in to rescue the overwhelmed Kang at 4:24 of the second round, giving Bisping the emphatic win.

Havent decided yet bro. I've went with some underdogs lately. aka Shogun in the last fight. If I was to pick right now, id go with...
Randy Couture Vs. Brandon Vera - Vera (I think he's going to clip Randy)
Michael Bisping Vs. Denis Kang - Bisping by KO
Dan Hardy Vs. Mike Swick - Hardy by decision
Ross Pearson Vs. Aaron Riley - Aaron Riley
Terry Etim Vs. Shannon Gugerty - Etim by KO
Those are the only one's I can call at the moment. I'm a little sketched out by the brit judges and refs quite frankly.
Wow, I was pretty fucking close on these calls. Im not talking about the fights either, but the refs and judges!
