This is the UFC's first Event in Hamburg, Germany.

After they already had their last two events in Germany placing in Berlin, they now bring the show to Hamburg...

First fight they announced was the Bader fight and i was like...
Hmmm...hope thats not the ME!

But that Card shaped up pretty well for an Event in Europe...well its not that bad...

Card:
Main Card (UFC Fight Pass)
Heavyweight Andrei Arlovski vs. Josh Barnett
Light Heavyweight Alexander Gustafsson vs. Jan Błachowicz
Light Heavyweight Ryan Bader vs. Ilir Latifi
Lightweight Nick Hein vs. Tae Hyun Bang
Preliminary Card (UFC Fight Pass)
Welterweight Jessin Ayari vs. Jim Wallhead
Welterweight Peter Sobotta vs. Nicolas Dalby
Bantamweight Taylor Lapilus vs. Leandro Issa
Heavyweight Jarjis Danho vs. Christian Colombo
Middleweight Scott Askham vs. Jack Hermansson
Lightweight Rustam Khabilov vs. Leandro Silva
Women's Bantamweight Ashlee Evans-Smith vs. Veronica Macedo


Doesn't look like fireworks but some interesting Match ups:

Arlovski x Barnett
Thats an oldschool match up, which is actually pretty interesting...
How will Barnett rebound from his submission loss to Rothwell?

Bader x Latifi
Two wrestlers against each other with big power in their hands...
I think Bader is happy that he doesn't have to fight Rumble again and he will perform much better

Gustafsson x Blachowicz
The Swede should take this...but you never know!

Khabilov x Silva
Rustam looked like a monster when he came to the ufc...then lost a couple and now is looking to come back...Silva is a bjj bb under Rocian Gracie and has the majority of his wins by sub...

Hein x Bang
Hein got some strong Judo but he likes or more prefers to bang!
He is facing another guy who likes to bang and that last name fits pretty well...Bang.
So just let them bang guys...just let them bang

Also:
Jim Wallhead is making his UFC debut and i'm looking forward to der him perform here

Scott Askham ...allways fun to watch

Ashlee Evans Smith....

What are your thoughts about this card and match ups?
 
I'll take Andrei, Gus, and Latifi...

3/10 card... 6/10 since its free
 
I love Arlovski vs. Barnett and it will be good to see Gus again. Decent card, not bad for free television.
 
It's very decent. For me, it took a blow when Germaine pulled out.

She is so good.
 
I'm excited to have three swedish fighters on one card.

2 fights were canceled for this event, european cards should not suffer there are plenty of europeans to fight

Seems like when a fight gets cancelled in the States they try their best to get another good one on there...or when someone drops out, in fight week, they try to get a late replacement...

...but Europe...they are not really trying it seems
 
Arlovski
Gus
Latifi

Its not the most interesting card but it will do
