Now UFC 105 is not for awhile but time does fly by fast and it will be here before you know it.

This card holds some very interesting match ups: Couture vs. Vera, Bisping vs. Kang and Swick vs. Hardy.

But something has grabbed my attention even more then those match ups.... What is that you ask?

Well it's a question that I have of my own will ESPN be the network that UFC has been looking for by premiering UFC 105?

The reason I ask this is because one day I was sitting back and it was a normal boring day so I decided to check on my results for the UFC 103 card for the fantasy league.

After that I went to pick my choices for the UFC 104: Machida vs. Shogun now when I finished with that I was looking at the card for UFC 105.... That's when I noticed this:

UFC® 105 COUTURE vs. VERA - Nov-14-2009


R. Couture

 


B. Vera

 

Date

Nov-14-2009

Event Time

noon PT / 3pm ET / 8pm GMT

Fantasy Cut-Off Time

12:00 PM ET

Event Type

ESPN – Fight Card

Now yes I could be starting a rumor which is why this article is labeled “RUMOR” but why would they have ESPN- Fight Card under event type?

The only reason this could be is it will air on ESPN… Now this card is interesting but not enough to throw some money down for it so like everyone I expect it to come on TV.

Now either it airs on Spike or ESPN we will just have to wait and see…
