September 19th is an important date for fight fans. On that date, both the UFC and Mayweather-Marquez will battle on PPV. Mayweather has said some interesting things about MMA in the buildup to this head to head battle.

Fortunately for boxing fans, Floyd Mayweather might not just be all talk. According to both BoxingScene and Steve Kim over at Maxboxing, the undercard of Mayweather vs. Marquez just might not be the garbage fight fans have become accustomed to.

So far the confirmed bouts for this card are:

Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Juan Manuel Marquez

Chris John vs. Rocky Juarez II

Zab Judah vs. Matthew Hatton

Some of the bouts being rumored to be on the card include:

Allan Green vs. Sakio Bika

Michael Katsidis vs. Vicente Escobedo

If both of these bouts end up on the card, the Hatton vs. Judah bout most likely won't be televised. However, this could be a pricey card, so don't be surprised if one or both of the rumored bouts don't end up on the finalized card.

I for one am hoping Katsidis ends up on the card. This guy is all action and the perfect way to kick off any card.

On the UFC side of things, here is the UFC 103 lineup:

Dan Henderson vs. Rich Franklin II

Josh Koscheck vs. Frank Trigg

Mirko Cro Cop vs. Junior Dos Santos

Martin Kampmann vs. Mike Swick

Tyson Griffin vs. Hermes Franca

There are a lot of crazy rumors going around about Fedor, and the return of Tito Ortiz. Rumor has it that Henderson vs. Franklin matchup will not take place in favor of a more fan friendly main event. What that main event will be remains to be seen.

Boxing fans may end of getting one of the best undercards in a long, long time. As for MMA fans, they will be getting a better main event, possibly involving Tito Ortiz.

There will be countless battle lines drawn, as the idiots and trolls on both sides prepare to gloat over PPV numbers and live gates. I'll reserve my predictions until both cards shake out.
