MMAWeekly.com reports that there could be a matchup at UFC78 between Karo Parisyan and Hayato Sakurai.
Sick.
This adds to a card that is rumored to have BJ Penn, Frank Edgar, Joe Lauzon and Tamden McCrory.
The main event was speculated to have been Sherk-Penn but thats all up in the air due to the ol’ needle in the ass situation that seems to be unfolding in the lightweight division.
Could we be seeing a vacant title bout or perhaps an eliminator? Yes please.

This would be a sick fight winner gets gsp/kos then winner of that fight gets a shot at Hughes/Serra.
man i hope sak woops his ass
So he shuts up, I been waiting for Sak to fight in the ufc for a while they said he was fighting Diego. I hope u guys are right.
Hey guys question.. which fight do you think will be better ufc 77 or 78? the line up for 77 is pretty good.
Do you mean the Main Events if so I think ufc 77 is on top at the moment but as a overall ppv I think ufc 76 will be better here is the card.
Main Event: Chuck Liddell (20-4) vs. Keith Jardine (12-3-1)
Undercard:
205 lbs. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua (16-2) vs. Forrest Griffin (14-4)
170 lbs. Diego Sanchez (17-1) vs. Jon Fitch (14-2)
205 lbs. Ryoto Machida (10-0) vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura (11-6)

155 lbs. Matt Wiman (7-3) vs. Michihiro Omigawa (4-3)
155 lbs. Diego Saraiva (9-5-1) vs. Jeremy Stephens (9-2)
Hvywt. Justin McCully (8-3-2) vs. Christian Wellisch (7-3)*
Im looking forward to this one more because of Shoguns debut and “The Iceman”s return.
Yea i meant the main events. The reason I ask is b/c I don’t know much about it but wanted to get tickets to go for my bf. The ufc 78 is rumored to be in Newark, NJ and since I’m from N.J I thought it would be nice and convenient. However, since I won’t know the fightcard for 78 until (?) I was contemplating making the trip to OH and seeing Ufc 77. Not sure what to do. I’m assuming after this saturday’s turn out they will post more on 78’s fightcard.. Any responses will help. :)
Yeah ufc 78 WILL be in newark, new jersey here is the card so far.Main Event:
