We’re only three weeks into the New Year, fight fans, and we are spoiled brats. Not only do we have UFC on FX 7 live from Brazil tomorrow night to get our blood pumping, but we also have UFC on FOX: Johnson vs. Dodson next Saturday to determine who the best –son fighter is. That’s two consecutive weeks of free fights to lead into UFC 156 on Feb. 2, and that’s just playing precursor to UFC on Fuel on Feb. 16 and then the PPV event that we’re all drooling over – UFC 157: Rousey vs. Carmouche. Man, I am worn out just thinking about all of those amazing upcoming live discussions.
But let’s focus on tomorrow, as Vitor Belfort and Michael Bisping are headlining a card that’s just a tad underwhelming, but that’s not anybody’s fault but the ol’ injury bug. Originally, we were going to see some exciting fighters like Johnny Eduardo, Thiago Perpetuo and Roger Hollet, but they all got hurt and were replaced. Hell, Yuri Alcantara must have been confused as all hell, because he was supposed to face Eduardo in the lone Bantamweight fight, and then George Roop replaced him. But Roop was injured, too and he was replaced by Pedro Nobre.
While Belfort-Bisping should be an entertaining match (I’m leaning toward Bisping, but don’t tell Belfort), I’m predicting the star of the night to be fellow middleweight Daniel Sarafian, who was a finalist on The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil before he was – you guessed it – injured. So I’m predicting that he’ll be just a tad bit fired up.
After the jump, check out the rest of the card, and make yourself familiar with our own Lobster Mobster’s fight primer. The action starts at 6 PM ET with three hours of preliminary fights on Fuel before the main action begins at 9 PM ET on FX.

Ensign Barbossa will be Captain Barbossa in no time.
We named the monkey Bisping.
Ha ha!
How hard is it to win a fight after you blast a dude in his junk? Everybody underestimates the kick to the groin.
THEY SHOULD WEAR THOSE METAL MUAY THAI DIAPERS
(since Joe Rogan isn’t here)
well this is new to me….so HOW BOUT THAT DICK KICK?!
He wasn’t coming back from that one
should’ve been, “The Move of the Fight.”
Well hey, at least England still has Bradley Wiggins to cheer for, though they have been short on sports heroes for quite a while.
They have the Brownlee brothers in triathlon.
Hey, they’re doing rather well with the very attractive Jessica Ennis as a sports hero?
How bout a hand for Michael Bisping
boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I really thought Bisping had it.
You know, if he didn’t get kicked in the temple, he could have pulled it off. . . MAYBE
Well until that happened, he seemed to be really taking control of the round. And then, you know, that happened.
Delusional Michael Bisping is FUCKING delusion.
Worst attempt at trash talking ever?
Bisping is still the MAN!
NOPE.
trolololololol
You heard it here first guys, God is powerful.
Yay they fix badgers! +Uproxx
badges are back, everyone!!
bisping must have stole them. vitor made him give them back.
Woohoo!
Its God, he is someone very powerful
True, Mr. Myer!!
Hurray! I just wished I’d have more than one badge from tonight. I liked this thread on facebook and everything!
Who turned out the lights?
Now they should make Dana and Dan M fight in “No Holds Barred Loser Leaves Home Lions Den Match.”
In a*
GOT MY BADGE!
Really?
yup!
Tried everything, no steenking badges. I just want to belong!! I. Just. Want. To. BELONG. :’(
Well hell, it popped up as soon as I sent that. WTH? Only a 5 minute delay.
That knockout was exactly how I pictured it when I was masturbating.
So now who is good enough for Anderson? ANYBODY?
………..bones
When you’re the best, you’re just The Best, it seems.
WEIDMAN SHOULD GET A SHOT >:(
Steven Segal
Bisping should get a shot against Spider… right now.
I think Vitor could give Spider a run for his money.
Is Bisping like fucking bitching about it?
Belfort looks like he watches his carbs.
LOLSLOLS
OUCHTOWN, population Bisling.
Or Bisping.
I’ve got to hand it to Bisping, he sure knows how to get knocked the fuck out.
LOL@ The Brazillians are going nuts!
BOOM!
hahahah FUCK YOU BISPING
Oh shit that’s not what I thought was going to happen at all.
Never read you curse before!
Bispinged.
Eyepokes against Michael Bisping should be legal.
Huh? It would be hilarious if Dan M fucked the fuck outta this fight.
After this is all over, it’d be so rad if we all just kept talking about random stuff all night.
/lonely
You on twitter?
indeed
follow @MightyFeklhr and I will follow you back. Twitter has a decent night crowd.
Sure! Wanna talk some hockey?
/wife is talking to pregnant bff who’s all suicidal and shit.
You can marvel at my stupidity @MrPooni.
I try to follow ppl that follow me if you want random raving in your twitter feed.
Following Glen! Fek, we follow each other lol
i’ll probs put in a old mma dvd and live tweet that. or other things
Thatsamare, I know many a peep that has to sit through that a lot!
Oh, uh, I knew that…
Lobby, you have my attention!
I never really use twitter, but, I will follow fek and glenn out of sheer boredom and drunkeness.
IN YOUR FACE, DANA! HE’S BACK!
fuck Dan M must have just read Dana’s tweet
Bisping and Chael Sonnen must have the same barber.
What’s he checking his hair for, he got a shiv in there?
probably to make sure there isn’t excess grease
You can see that grease from SPACE.
Excess grease? It’s not like he’s GSP.
Belfort via rat tail submission
His secret submission move
That hair style is actually know as the “skunk ass”.
I’m picking the Count to win. I wonder if he’s related to Count Dracula?
NOPE. Chocula.
mmm. delicious
Do they even have counts in England? There weren’t any on The Tudors.
he’s a cypriot!
Because his chin has the consistency of processed cacao beans.
It’s really too bad that Amy Winehouse and Bisping never made a baby.
They did, Amy just died 7 months too soon.
Fek wins!!
Sooo, will this go 5 rounds? They kinda gave the impression that it would earlier?
if belfort wins, it’ll end early.
Honestly, I think Vitor will win by round 3
Well, all I mean is that it has 5 rounds scheduled?
it does
Many shanks
I wonder if he has Hendo nightmares.
i like tht people tweet pictures/gifs of that to him daily
He probably doesn’t even remember it.
I giggle like a Japanese schoolgirl when I see them.
Joe Flacco is in UFC, too?
I just choked on my beer reading that
“I was put on this planet to fat”
“I don’t care what he say”
The english as a second language guy wins over the englishman.
at English.
Yay, Bisping is going to say the words into the microphone.
Matthias Lilleg @MightyFeklhr
@roynelsonmma Dude, if you come liveblog with us, Burnsy will give you a free tshirt!
and a restraining order signed by Kate Upton’s attorney.
vitor looked great on roids
Holy shit, I can’t wait for the Aldo/Edgar fight.
To say thanks to the fans, the Vancouver Canucks have decided to have Sarah McLaughlin sing the national anthems for tonight. You spoiler your fans, Francesco Aquillini.
I am on Twitter trying to talk Roy Nelson into rivebrogging with us.
yay!
It would help if he wasn’t a complete and utter moron.
With that said, he’d probably fit right in around here.
YOU SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH GLEN
BAN GLEN (loljk)
Have Glen done a boo boo? Glen sorry! Nakey hug?
Dude, we are just messing with you.
No nakey hug?
I am still so torn over who to root for in this fight. I hate Bisping so much, more than any other fighter…but I want to see him destroyed by the Spider.
Bisping’s a right plonker, a proper git.
Don’t mention that bloody advert.
This crowd loves CB. Listen to them woo him.
*Ric Flair/Jackie Fargo Strut*
They keep whistling at him. They totally love him!
