Top 10 UFC Fight Card Letdowns of 2009
It seems that 2009 was the year of injuries and letdowns for the UFC and fans. Almost every card had some last-minute alteration to it. Here are our picks for the top 10 letdowns of UFC fight cards in 2009.
10. UFC 98 – Frank Mir vs Brock Lesnar
What Happened: Mir pulled out due to a back surgery. Fortunately, the fight was rescheduled to UFC 100.
Disappointment Level: “Low” The only annoying thing about this rescheduling was waiting two months for a better event.
9. UFC 108 – Gabriel Gonzaga vs Junior Dos Santos
What Happened: Gonzaga pulled out due to a staph infection. The fight has been rescheduled to an unknown date.
Disappointment Level: “Low to moderate” Santos looked great against Cro Cop and it would’ve been awesome to see his skills against a contender like Gonzaga. Other than that, it’s not a fight to lose sleep over.
UPDATE - Dos Santos is facing Gilbert Yvel at UFC 108
8. UFC 99 – Cain Velasquez vs Heath Herring
What Happened: Heath canceled due to an injury. Cheick Kongo stepped in a few weeks before the fight with little time to train and was beaten by unanimous decision.
Disappointment Level: “Moderate” At this point, people were more interested in this rising star than they were the matchup. We were just as satisfied seeing Cain maul Kongo.

UFC Event Live on SpikeTV July 19th
Hey guys Chad here and I will be helping out with updating UFCscene with the latest news from the UFC.
So here we go I want to start off with the announcement of a special UFC broadcast on SpikeTV.
They are making this special broadcast on July 19th in which is the same night as the Affliction event. What could be better then a cable broadcasted event that you can watch and not have to spend $39.95? I know that not spending $39.95 just for an event is fine with but the UFC still makes it better. They are making it better by showcasing Anderson “The Spider” Silva’s debut at light heavyweight versus James “The Sandman” Irvin. I believe that this will be Anderson Silva’s first fight at 205 but I’m not sure. It should be hard for Anderson Silva to put on the twenty pounds that he needs but I think he may be even more dangerous at this weight class because he will be faster then most light heavyweights. With Silva’s superb striking and great BJJ I think he may make his way to the top of this division also. Now Irvin is not your typical light heavyweight though he is one of the more high paced kinds of light heavyweights that fight at a fast tempo. Irvin would be one of the UFC’s top light heavyweights if he didn’t injure his knee against Thiago Silva. I think this will be a stand up war between both men but the only way I can see Irvin having a chance at winning this fight is that he catches Silva off guard with a lucky shot. With Anderson Silva being one of the best pound for pound fighters today I don’t think that will happen.
The only other fights they a have for this event are:
Anthony Johnson (4-1-0) vs. Kevin Burns (7-1-0) at 170lbs.
Hermes Franca (19-5-0) vs. Frank Edgar (7-0-0) at 155lbs.
I will post the other fights when they are announced.
