The field of 18 fighters for UFC 77: “Hostile Territory” have all weighed-in for the pay-per-view (PPV) event tomorrow night from the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Welterweight Josh Burkman was the only one to not make weight initially, shedding every layer of clothing he had to try and make the 170-pound limit. He came in at 171.5 and eventually made weight. He is now good to go.
Other than that it was a rather uneventful event. However, it seems as though the lightweight fight between hometown product Jorge Gurgel and his opponent, Alvin Robinson, have been bumped up to the main card.
That guarantees at least five televised fights. The middleweight showdown between Yushin Okami and Jason MacDonald is not among them, however.
Here are the official results:
185 lbs.: Anderson Silva (184.5) vs. Rich Franklin (184)
Hvywt.: Tim Sylvia (260.5) vs. Brandon Vera (225.5)
205 lbs.: Stephan Bonnar (204) vs. Eric Schafer (203)
185 lbs.: Kalib Starnes (186) vs. Alan Belcher (186)
155 lbs.: Jorge Gurgel (155) vs. Alvin Robinson (155.5)
185 lbs.: Jason MacDonald (184.5) vs. Yushin Okami (186)
185 lbs.: Ryan Jensen (185.5) vs. Demian Maia (185)
170 lbs.: Josh Burkman (171) vs. Forrest Petz (170)
155 lbs.: Jason Black (156) vs. Matt Grice (155)
The televised portion of the pay-per-view (PPV) event begins Saturday, October 20, at 10 p.m. ET. We will provide LIVE blow-by-blow, round-by-round coverage of the main card action at this time.
UFC 77 quick results, however, will begin to flow earlier than that here at UFCmania.com at about 8:30 p.m. ET with the prelim fights.
It’s going to be a killer night — see you all then!

(In addition, “The Meat Cleaver” feels he’ll win this fight with body shots. That’s different.)
Note: Disregard the news anchor in the video. He is an utter moron.

UFC 77: “Hostile Territory” is set for Saturday, October 20 at 10 p.m. ET on pay-per-view (PPV) from the U.S. Bank Arena in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Even though the event is little more than two weeks away, we decided to make the usual announcement a bit early because it is such a slow news day.
We’ll cover the second-ever UFC event in the Buckeye State like we do all the rest — with up-to-the-minute quick updates of the undercard action and round-by-round coverage of the televised portion of the card.
UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva defends his title in the main event against hometown favorite and former 185-pound titleholder, Rich Franklin. “Ace” is out for redemption after getting torched by the “Spider” in their first encounter at UFC 64 almost exactly one year ago.
This rematch is going to be a much better fight than the first. Franklin seems determined to get his title back.
Here are the rest of the fights we can expect:
Main card (televised)
Hvywt.: Tim Sylvia (23-3) vs. Brandon Vera (8-0)
205 lbs.: Stephan Bonnar (10-4) vs. Eric Schafer (7-2-2)
185 lbs.: Kalib Starnes (8-1-1) vs. Alan Belcher (10-3)
Undercard (may not be broadcast):
185 lbs.: Jason MacDonald (19-8) vs. Yushin Okami (20-4)
155 lbs.: Jorge Gurgel (11-2) vs. Alvin Robinson (8-2)
170 lbs.: Josh Burkman (8-4) vs. Forrest Petz (13-4)
185 lbs.: Ryan Jensen (11-2) vs. Demian Maia (5-0)
155 lbs.: Jason Black (21-3-1) vs. Matt Grice (8-1)
I have no idea the reason Okami-MacDonald would not be a guaranteed televised bout. Regardless, this line up has some real competitve fights from top to bottom — make sure to tune-in. However, if you can’t we will have everything you need right here come fight night.

Josh Burkman (8-4) and Forrest Petz (13-4) will meet in a welterweight bout at UFC 77: “Hostile Territory” in Cincinnati, Ohio, on October 20, according to a recent MySpace bulletin from “The People’s Warrior.”
The 170-pound clash finalizes the UFC 77 fight card from the U.S. Bank Arena.
Burkman is coming off of a unanimous decision loss to Karo Parisyan at UFC 74 this past May. The former contestant on The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) — who also dates UFC ring girl Arianny Celeste — possesses a decent record inside the Octagon (4-2) since his debut in 2005.
Petz is from nearby Cleveland, Ohio, and will look to put together back-to-back UFC wins for the first time in his career. “The Meat Cleaver” recently outpointed the game Luigi Fioravanti on all three judges scorecards at UFC Fight Night 10 back in June.
Both Burkman and Petz share a common opponent, Sam Morgan, who Burkman crushed with a slam and Petz earned a unanimous decision.
