George Sotiropoulos vs Ross Pearson

Hector Lombard vs Rousimar Palhares

Krzysztof Soszynski vs Ednaldo Oliveira

Chad Mendes vs. Hacran Dias

Anthony Perosh vs. Joey Beltran

Kyle Noke vs. s Seth Baczynski

Pearson is a very, very bad matchup for Sotiropolous.

Luv the Palhares, Lombard match!

The rest of the card, at least at this point is a whole lot of meh.

The whole card is coming off of losses! Almost every guy. Aside from...Perosh.

Lombard vs Palhares seems awesome...two mean SOBs who finish in brutal fashions. But also two guys who have had some strange performances recently...mental mistakes. I don't know if I'm going to get my hopes up too high.

Perosh just got knocked out in like record time a few events ago by Ryan Jimmo.

Noke/Seth B is a damn good fight. Don't look now, but Seth has won six straight UFC contests. Reeeeally exciting fighter.

Haha. You're right. The post-fight interview from his previous fight where he asked for a contender was fresh in my mind.

Jeez.

I thought Soszynski retired or did I just imagine that

You're correct, he did retire and I thought it was because he hated the travel. But it's like going on vacation to fight in Australia in the middle of the winter.

Just noticed this is on the same day as The Ultimate Fighter Final...

A whole day of fights is awesome.

Edit: I guess with the time difference this will actually be Dec. 14th...

Updated card...

George Sotiropoulos vs. Ross Pearson
Norman Parke vs. Colin Fletcher
Robert Whittaker vs. Brad Scott
Hector Lombard vs. Rousimar Palhares
Chad Mendes vs. Hacran Dias

Igor Pokrajac vs. Joey Beltran
Mike Pierce vs. Seth Baczynski
Ben Alloway vs. Manny Rodriguez
Brendan Loughnane vs. Mike Wilkinson
Nick Penner vs. Cody Donovan

Surprised they didn't give more of the TUF guys fights, I think after the performance against Freak Show Richie Vaculik deserves a fight at 135 (his usual weight).

Updated thread title to Dec. 14th, as that is when it will air live in North America.

Lombard/Palhares two beasts staring each other there.

A lot of unstable to go around as well in that duo.

I am really looking forward to this card.

Fletcher/Park at 155 is a fun fight.

Hector and Paul Harris both scare the guff out of me.....

George S is so funny to me. He's a great troll.

I was reading on sherdog that George S. was a total d-bag on the show. That surprised me, he seems like a cool guy.

I know some of you dudes watched. Is that true, or was I just reading some dude from the UK's take? lol.

Well I skipped alot of the reality drama parts, but he mostly just seemed pretty wooden. There was trash-talking with the British team of course, he offered to let the British team train with his coaches after they lost a couple fights (the implication of course being that they weren't be coached well). Nothing unusual by TUF standards really.

Yeah, I skipped to the fights mostly. He didn't seem any more douchey than any of the other coaches.

Um.....George was d-bag in the sense that he knew that he was on TV and was playing up to being a troll and a douche anything from the UK.

Chael said he trained with him, and said he is a perfectionist.

Hector Lombard vs Paul Harris is the best kind of matchup.
