Dat er van 3 maart tot 14 april uberhaupt niks is voor anderhalve maand dat kan echt niet meer anno 2012 dat zijn 2003 praktijken :P
The Ultimate Fighter begint 9 maart, dus er is nog wel iets wat je kunt bekijken.
Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Shane Del Rosario Leads Additions to UFC 146 Card
The UFC 146 card continues to take shape with the addition of several matches on Wednesday. The Memorial Day weekend event will take place in its traditional home of Las Vegas, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 26.
Among the bouts announced is one including the arrival of unbeaten former Strikeforce heavyweight Shane Del Rosario, who hasn't fought since last February after suffering major injuries during an April 2011 car accident. Del Rosario (11-0) will face Gabriel Gonzaga (13-6).
Also making his UFC debut during the event will be veteran light-heavyweight Glover Teixeira, who has been considered one of the best 205-pounders outside of Zuffa for several years. Teixeira had previously been wooed by the UFC, only to see his octagon hopes dashed by visa problems that have finally been solved.
Teixeira (17-2) is set to square off with Kyle Kingsbury. The AKA product recently had a four-fight win streak snapped in a decision loss to Stephan Bonnar.
In a featherweight bout, recent Ultimate Fighter season 14 winner Diego Brandao (14-7) will battle Darren Elkins (13-2). Brandao is coming off a comeback submission win over Dennis Bermundez in December, while Elkins is riding a two-fight win streak, with victories over Michihiro Omigawa and Zhang Tiequan.
Finally, Jacob Volkmann will put his five-fight win streak on the line against undefeated British submission artist Paul Sass (12-0).
UFC 146 is likely to feature a heavyweight championship main event with titleholder Junior dos Santos looking to defend against Alistair Overeem, although that fight has not yet been officially announced by the promotion.

Junior dos Santos vs. Alistair Overeem Title Fight Confirmed for UFC 146
After months of speculation, Junior dos Santos' first title defense has finally been made official. The UFC's newest heavyweight champion will meet former Strikeforce, DREAM, and K-1 beltholder Alistair Overeem at the main event of UFC 146, slated for May 26 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
UFC officials confirmed the booking on Tuesday. Tickets for are expected to go on sale later this month.
The heavyweight title fight joins a card already highlighted by the return of known UFC commodities Edson Barboza, Dan Hardy, Diego Brandao, and Jason "Mayhem" Miller.
Dos Santos (14-1) last appeared in the main event of November's UFC on FOX debut, where he soundly defeated Cain Velasquez in just 64 seconds to earn "Knockout of the Night" honors and the UFC heavyweight strap. His victory marked the culmination of a stunning nine fight win streak, eight of which took place under the UFC umbrella and six of which ended in the first round. Throughout that time the 27-year-old dos Santos defeated a who's who of the heavyweight division, including Fabricio Werdum, Stefan Struve, Mirko Cro Cop, Roy Nelson, and Shane Carwin.
Likewise, Overeem (36-11, 1 NC) carries his own 12-fight unbeaten streak into the headlining tilt after collecting championships in nearly every other major MMA promotion, often in violent fashion. Before joining the UFC ranks, the 31-year-old Dutch striker ripped through an impressive run in which he finished eight of nine fights within four minutes against the likes of Mark Hunt, Gary Goodridge, Brett Rogers, and Todd Duffee.
After dropping out of the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix due to lingering injuries, Overeem made his long-awaited UFC debut against Brock Lesnar last December, needing just two-and-a-half minutes to floor the former champion with a devastating liver kick.

Antonio 'Bigfoot' Silva vs. Roy Nelson Slated for UFC 146
Antonio Silva's long-awaited Octagon debut is finally on the books.
Announced Wednesday, "Bigfoot" has agreed to face Roy "Big Country" Nelson in a heavyweight tilt at UFC 146, slated for May 26, 2012 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, NV. UFC officials confirmed the bout via Twitter.
Silva and Nelson join their heavyweight brethren on the Memorial Day weekend card, which is headlined by a mammoth title scrap between Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem. Notable fan-favorites Dan Hardy, Jason "Mayhem" Miller, Edson Barboza, and Diego Brandao are also confirmed participants.
Considered to be one of the top scores of Strikeforce's heavyweight migration, Silva (16-3) enters the UFC fresh from a roller-coaster run through the promotion's heavyweight grand prix.
"Bigfoot" notched a stunning upset in the tourney's opening round, dominating Fedor Emelianenko en route to a second-round TKO finish and handing the PRIDE legend just his second loss in over a decade. However Silva's victory would be short-lived, as he then fell victim to an overhand right from injury-replacement Daniel Cormier early in their semifinals match.
Likewise, Nelson (16-7) hopes to rebound after dropping a ‘Fight of the Night' decision loss to Fabricio Werdum last month. Following the setback, the 35-year-old former TUF winner has now lost three of his last four contests to top opponents, with his only win coming in a three-round war that would prove to be Mirko Cro Cop's final MMA match.
Though despite his struggles, "Big Country" has gained recent notoriety for an online bet he made with the mixed martial arts community, in which he pledged to drop to light heavyweight if he gained 100,000 Facebook ‘likes' within two weeks. Just days into the wager, Nelson is already approaching his mark, so it remains to be seen if UFC 146 will be his final bout at heavyweight.

UFC 146: Frank Mir vs. Cain Velasquez Set to Determine No. 1 Contender
UFC 146 already boasts a UFC heavyweight championship match, and now it will determine the No. 1 contender, too.
A long-rumored bout between Frank Mir and Cain Velasquez has finally been agreed to, and according to FoxSports.com, the victor will face the winner of the night's main event pitting Junior Dos Santos against Alistair Overeem.
Mir (16-5) will walk into the octagon with the more momentum of the pair, riding a three-fight win streak. In his most recent bout, he earned a technical submission win over Antonio Rodrigo Noegueira at 140. Prior to that he had wins over Roy Nelson and Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic.
Velasquez, meanwhile, will be hoping to rebound from his first career loss, dropping the belt to dos Santos at UFC on FOX 1 last November.
The early line on the fight has Velasquez as a 4-to-1 favorite, likely because his wrestling should allow him to determine the location of the fight, thereby limiting Mir's submission opportunities.
UFC 146 takes place on May 26 in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Aside from the two aforementioned bouts, other fights include Roy Nelson vs. Antonio Silva, Jason "Mayhem" Miller vs. C.B. Dollaway and Dan Hardy vs. Duane Ludwig.

Waanzinnige card, in mijn ogen en mijn roze bril absoluut de allerbeste UFC ooit.
Zo, dat ziet er idd goed uit!
Shiiit man nu je het zegt.... Wat een wrede kaart, wordt zeker een avondje met de boys de nacht doortrekken voor de tv ufc.tv stream aanschaffen laptop aansluiten op de flatscreen en knallen!
Wow! Ga nu toch maar eens serieus kijken of ik daar niet heen kan.
Iemand ervaring met het bestellen van UFC kaarten?
Stel ik boek nu een vlucht, kan ik er dan normaal gesproken van uitgaan dat ik zonder problemen aan (goede) UFC kaarten kan komen?
Nice, ik als UFC hater ben happy met deze card..
supervet!

HOLY SH*T dat is nog eens impressive. Iets wat ze normaal uitsmeren over 3 events, nu alles in 1. Dit wordt echt een heerlijk avondje UFC. Kijk er nu al naar uit, SIKED!!!
Deze card ziet er op papier zo ongelofelijk impressive uit dat het daadwerkelijke event enkel nog maar kan tegenvallen.

Soort van mini UFC HW GP. Letterlijk en figuurlijk "heavy shit"
tering
een van de beste cards ooit
apart (maar prachtig) dat ze zoveel in 1 kaart steken
echt een te gekke card dit! gewoon wat minder UFC events maar dan wel uitpakken zoals deze
hier ga ik zeker voor wakker blijven, voor het eerst sinds lange tijd!
toen pissen plassen werd is het gezeik begonnen!
Na 13 jaar weer een Nederlander die voor een UFC titel vecht, 3 andere vette HW partijen en ook nog Diego Brandao die zijn opwachting maakt na het winnen van TUF.
Hopelijk raakt er niemand geblesseerd.
Chael Sonnen: The only thing bigger than UFC 167 is Wanderlei Silvas forehead
Het ding is natuurlijk wel als je 4 grote heavyweight gevechten op 1 kaart gooit zullen er ook weer heel wat zijn zonder natuurlijk.
Geen idee wat het kost, maar toch wel max. $ 500 per kaart.
Haal ik dat? En ben ik hoe dan ook zeker van kaarten als ik op het moment dat de verkoop start achter de PC zit? Ik wil voorkomen dat ik vlucht / hotel al geboekt heb, en dan voor wat betreft het belangrijkste van een koude kermis thuis kom.
