Today the UFC announced that members of the UFC Fight Club will be able to purchase tickets for UFC 78 “Validation” tomorrow at 7PM/PT while the rest of the masses will have to wait until October 6th.  What bugs me about this is that the UFC has not released an official fight card for the event that will take place in New Jersey.  If you view their website, you’ll see that they haven’t announced a single fight for UFC 78.  Secondly, the rumored main event is Tito Ortiz vs. Rashad Evans II.  How do you “validate” that worthy of a main event?  With five different weight classes one would think that they would be able to drum up at least one title fight.  Maybe they will announce a fight card soon and it will kick ass and I’ll be left eating crow.  Until then, here is the star-studded rumored UFC 78 fight card:

Rashad Evans vs. Tito Ortiz
Karo Parisyan vs. Hector Lombard
Frankie Edgar vs. Spencer Fisher
Ed Herman vs. Dave Terrell
Akihiro Gono vs. Tamdan McCrory
Joe Lauzon vs. Jason Reinhardt

Looks more like an Ultimate Fight Night line up than a PPV event to me. And if you are just pumped that the UFC is coming to New Jersey and want to get a jump on the rest with presale purchase, you can buy tickets on October 4th with the code:  ROGAN
