I thought Chuck retired.

That man is risking some brain damage now days.

I also thought he was fighting Tito.

?Fans and media have been asking me for weeks what is happening on The Ultimate Fighter? Season 11, saying things like ?is Tito off the show, is Chuck fighting Rich.? Today, I?m officially announcing that Chuck Liddell will fight Rich Franklin at UFC 115. I wish I could tell you why, but everyone?s just going to have to watch The Ultimate Fighter Season 11 on Spike TV.

Bait and switch! Damn!

I can't wait to see what is the TUF editing crew going to do now. Or if they already edited the show ramping up the coach fight like in TUF 10 :laugh:

The city of Vancouver appears to have embraced the UFC.

sportsnet.ca

The UFC's upcoming debut show in Vancouver sold out in 30 minutes in the UFC Fight Club pre-sale Tuesday.

UFC president Dana White announced it through his Twitter account: "Vancouver sold out in 30 mins!!!! Thank you vancouver we worked hard on getting it there. Thank you mayor robertson."

Tickets for UFC 115: Liddell vs. Franklin, which will be held at GM Place on July 12, were scheduled to go on sale to newsletter subscribers on Wednesday and to the general public on Thursday. As of Tuesday's sellout, the organization's website directed fans to try their luck on StubHub.

The fast sellout broke the previous record set the first time the UFC held a show in Canada. UFC 83, which took place on April 19, 2008, at the Bell Centre in Montreal, sold all but about 1,000 tickets in the advance sales, with the remaining ones going in under a minute of the public sale.

NOTES: The UFC and Spike TV announced that preliminary fights will be shown on the cable channel for UFC 114 on May 29 in Las Vegas prior to its pay-per-view airing. There will be none televised however for the UFC's third trip to Montreal, at UFC 113 on May 8.

Anyone know why the fight is off with Tito. Only thing I have heard is that something happened on TUF but no one seems to know what.

that's what I heard, its a case of watch the ultimate fighter to find out...unless someone leaks it before.

[Bubbabyte]

I heard that Tito voluntarily left the show because of personal issues (rumored to be marital issues) and they brought in rich as the replacement.

oh right sounds about right either that or he's injured

I'm guessing I was right about the rumors, as Tito just got arrested for felony domestic violence. Courtesy of www.tmz.com 2 video's show Tito being arrested and Jenna visibly shaken up saying that she will be pressing charges.

[TheElite]

From the conflicting stories, it seems as though Jenna's lying. First she says that Tito didn't touch her and then an hour later she says that he did. WTF?

And who drives to Las Vegas with friends straight after an incident like this? Crackwhores, thats who.

As much as i hate Tito, I have to side with him on this one. I just don't peg tito as a woman beater, his ex wife has also come forward in his defense, and I think it's more likely that she has a drug problem in all honesty.

I've worked with people in this situation. After an incident like this, you stay at home with your children or take them elsewhere. You don't leave the children with your dad and go to Vegas to party.

Same. I think that Tito is extremely unlikeable. From what I've seen on TUF, there's a good, respectable side to the guy and then there's the overbearing arrogant side.

The guy doesn't look like a wife-beater, well, not as much as Chuck looks like a recovering drug addict.

The last ultimate fighter series i saw he was talking about needing surgery, so i would say its more down to injury than anything else.

Rappy, the video's don't work. Your earlier one as well.

[TheElite]

Hmm. I tried it with IE8 and it works.

Why didn't they work with Chrome?

[freejumper]

works fine for me.

[TheElite]

Had to clear my cache.

Seems like a little bit of a bore PPV. It was slightly interesting for sentimental value when it was Chuck vs. Tito - Feels like a bit of a filler PPV now!
