Upcoming Cards - rumored and confirmed

[Diegonightmare]

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.

Thanks Clint for giving the OK to create and sticky this thread.

A quick request to keep responses to this thread to only notification of upcoming rumored/confirmed fights that I might have missed - I don't mean for it to be a catch-all thread for discussion of upcoming fights; just a collection of current info.

I'll do my best to keep on top of things so that nothing needs to be added here at all, but if I do miss something I'd like to know so that this thread can be kept accurate.
