Zuffa (the parent company of UFC, WEC, and PRIDE) is holding four events this month -- three UFC events and one WEC event -- literally throughout the world.  Those of you who have read previous entries of mine know that I'm not a huge fan of so many UFC events in one month.  I think UFC pay-per-views require about a month for decompression from the previous event and build up to the next event to generate maximum impact. 

Regardless, UFC President Dana White clearly feels otherwise and these busy stretches are slowly becoming the norm for his promotion.  I'm sure if/when UFC inks a deal with HBO, we will see even more events spread out over Spike TV, HBO and PPV.  The question in my mind is will the MMA market bear so many events in such a short period of time?

Anyway, here are the events with dates and other information for each one.

WEC 30 -- Wednesday, Sept. 5, 9 PM EST live on Versus.  The main event is Richard Crunkilton vs. Rob McCullough in a lightweight bout. 

UFC 75 -- Saturday, Sept. 8, 9 PM EST tape-delayed on Spike TV.  This event is being held in London and features a main event fight between Quinton Jackson and Dan Henderson as well as London native Michael Bisping and Mirko Cro Cop's return to the Octagon.

UFC Fight Night -- Wednesday, Sept. 19, 9 PM EST on Spike TV.  The main event is a lightweight bout between Kenny Florian and Din Thomas.

UFC 76 -- Saturday, Sept. 22, 10 PM EST on PPV.  The main event of this card is Chuck Liddell's return bout vs. Keith Jardine.  This is a less-than-overwhelming main event especially considering both fighters are coming off devastating losses and Jardine is not a title contender.  Another intriguing bout features Mauricio "Shogun" Rua's debut fight in UFC against TUF 1 darling Forrest Griffin.
