Michael Bisping and Rashad Evans will square off on Nov. 17 as the main event of UFC 78 in New Jersey.
UFC 78 returns to New Jersey for the first time in over two years, On Saturday, November 17th and in
the main event at Newark’s Prudential Center, two of the best from The Ultimate Fighter will meet,
as season two winner “Sugar” Rashad Evans (15-0-1) battles season three winner Michael “The Count”
Bisping (15-0) in a battle that will not only leave one of these unbeatens with a loss on his record,
but it will validate the victor as the future of the light heavyweight division.
The bout pits the winners from seasons two and three of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) reality series against
one another. It also ends a rather bizarre situation to find a “marquee” bout to bolster a very solid yet
rather underwhelming card in terms of high profile names.
Evans is itching to get back in the cage after fighting to a draw with Ortiz at UFC 73: “Stacked” on
July 7. He, too, was supposed to rematch Ortiz right away but things behind the scenes clearly
did not go as planned.
UFC 78 also brings us a terrific light heavyweight bout between two fighters with ultra aggressive styles.
Houston Alexander looks to continue his string of impressive KO wins when he takes on Thiago Silva.
The UFC 78 "Validation" card continues on with some of the more polarizing fighters in MMA. Love'em or
Hate'em: Karo Parisyan, Spencer Fisher and Ed "Short Fuse" Herman all show up.
