I kind of looked around and couldn't find the answer. Can anyone tell Me what the entire original card was supposed to be?

Can't believe this shitty card is on PPV! It has Spike TV written all over it.

Curse, give me a break. It's called reality. People who fight and train hard get hurt.

I have looked around and cant find the answer to this. What was the orginal lineup for 108? I know Evans and Rampage, but I have no clue what other fights were scheduled and changes have had to be made.

I can't imagine why anyone would want to pay for this show :(

Joe Silva must hate his job right about now.

How many of these fights are still in their initially announced form?

evans rampage was supposed to be last night
i think the UFC might need to slow down

Yeah needs to be on spike just based on the qualities of bouts.

In no way is this a PPV. Rampage vs Evans, Yes. Silva, not even close.

I'm innocent this time, I swear.

This is the oldest rumored card I was able to find... of course, the main card has gone through many, many changes since this... at least 4 of the fights have remained unchanged (although technically, Rashad vs. Silva wouldn't have happened since Rashad would have fought Rampage at 107).
Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin
Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort
Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Silva
Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Junior dos Santos
Jim Miller vs. Tyson Griffin
Carlos Condit vs. Paul Daley
Martin Kampmann vs. Rory Markham
Joe Lauzon vs. Sam Stout
Mark Munoz vs. Ryan Jensen
Cole Miller vs. Dan Lauzon
Jake Ellenberger vs. Mike Pyle
