Talk:UFC 96

Evans Challenge

"Following the main event, Rashad Evans, training partner of Jardine and then-Light Heavyweight Champion, entered the cage and publicly challenged Jackson. " -- Rashad Evans joined the colour commentary team for this fight, as it was announced well in advance that the winner of the Jackson-Jardine fight was to face Evans. I think this makes the wording in this article misleading; whilst the two did square up in the ring, it wasn't an outright challenge to a fight from Evans, it was just a (commonly occurring) "You're gonna go down" kind of face-off, even ending in the two shaking hands.

Shane Nelson is linked to the former linebacker of the Buffalo Bills...now he fights as a lightweight? lol. I'm thinking it's Shane Nelson from TUF 8. 207.250.61.96 (talk) 21:17, 9 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak card

Does anyone else think that this is a really weak card for a pay-per-view event?--2008Olympian^chitchat 07:16, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is, but after four UFC events in just over one month (95, Lauzon vs Stephens, 94 and 93), two of which were free to everyone, I'm not complaining. Then again I can see them without paying, so... --aktsu ^(t / c) 08:11, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Basically it's one headliner, and the rest would normally be in the undercard. I won't be paying for this when it'll be up online only a day later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.129.31.189 (talk) 23:33, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Submission/No Sumbission

I think the clarification needs to occur regarding the Tamdan McCrory/Ryan Madigan match. The page and sherdog.com list the match ending in Submission (punches). However, under the awards section, Submission of the Night is listed with "Not awarded as no matches ended with submission." Therefore, I assume 1 of 2 things occurred:

1. It is wrongly listed as a 'submission' and should instead be listed as 'TKO'.

2. It actually ended in submission, but for whatever reason the UFC decided not to award if Submission of the Night.

There may be other things that occurred, but I think these are the most likely. Does anyone have information to clarify this? I think the way it sits, the article is wrong on its face (i.e., the article clearly contradicts itself). This should be changed by someone who more information.
