The official unofficial MMANews "Upcoming Cards" thread.
This is just to keep track, in one place, of all the rumored and confirmed fights on upcoming cards. Once an event has occurred, I'll remove it from here.
I'm going to maintain this thread based on conversations in the forums plus my own reading. If you notice that I've missed something that came out, or another error, please let me know in this thread (or via PM).
Confirmed fights on top within each card, rumored below. Title fights in yellow. Champion in bold and listed first.
I've added the feature of noting a ranked top-10 fighter. The rankings are my own and can be found
here.
