An announced bout between “The Ultimate Fighter 6″ castmembers Ben Saunders and Jared Rollins has been moved from UFC 86, on July 5th, to the undercard of UFC 87.
The transfer was recently made on the official fight cards for the pay-per-view events.

I am suprised that Rollins is still in the UFC, I bet if he loses this fight he wont be
neither one of these guys impressed me. even though j-roc won fight of the night last time, it was a sloppy brawl.
I hope J-Roc wins, because I’d like to see him last in the UFC a little longer.
I got Fitch over GSP. Am I crazy?
I actually like saunders…I think he could make some noise in the UFC…he will stomp rollins… he is a pansy..the guy looks tough by being ripped.. mohawk…but he fights as tough as his voice sounds….
you are crazy bc this thread is about saunders and jrock…not fitch gsp….
Fixxer,
I got….no no no….I WANT Fitch to win and know he can. Just not sure he will. JRoc looks like a monkey with a mohawk. That was a funny thing with JRoc and Koppenhaver over the poop in the tank of the toilet. I’m glad Koppenhaver won their match. The only reason I want both fighters to do well is so we the fans eventually get another battle out of the two at a higher level with better skills. Then again, nothing says these guys get any better.
You have to admit guys… the Koppenhaver JRoc fight is what had the refs start looking more closely at the downward elbows to the top of the head. I had never seen such great use of it till that fight and Jon still won!
I really thought Saunders would win TUF that year and hope he does well. He has some great base skills and a good physique for his weight class… if he can keep his brain acting like a sponge he will be great one day. That means no drinking/partying Ben!
GSP over Fitch via 1st or 2nd round submission. Has potential to be fight of the night, though.
fiXxer
i think we could be in for an upset in the fitch gsp fight, i like fitch an really hes going into this fight with no pressure on him at all, that could be an advantage fitch is an animal and if he can get some combos going on gsp i could see him winning via tko. so to answer ur question i dont think your that crazy haha
dont like any of j-roc or saunders, any1 think saunders looks like a washed up school sports teacher wiv horse shoe hair style, or maybe its just me haha
i dont think your crazy but gsp goes in a big favourite. im not too sure i really care about j roc and saunders but for the record saunders will beat him.
well i get to see this live so thats alll that matters….nope not on tv the real deal and gsp wont lose!!!
