UFC 67: All or Nothing is an upcoming mixed martial arts event to be held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The event is currently scheduled for Saturday, February 3, 2007 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. It will also be the first UFC Pay-Per-View in High-Definition. In the main event, the middleweight winner of The Ultimate Fighter 4, Travis Lutter was scheduled to challenge middleweight champion Anderson Silva for the Middleweight title, however he was not able to make weight and the fight has been changed to a non-title contest.[1]
The welterweight winner of The Ultimate Fighter 4, Matt Serra, was also scheduled to challenge the welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre. However, the latter injured a knee during training and will not defend his title at this event.[2]
Two former PRIDE stars will make their debut in the UFC at this event. Quinton Jackson – who was acquired by the UFC after Zuffa's buyout of the World Fighting Alliance – will debut against Marvin Eastman, whose contract with the WFA was also bought by Zuffa. Eastman has an early win over Jackson in the KOTC promotion.[3]
2006 PRIDE Open-weight Grand Prix Champion Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipović will also make his UFC debut at UFC 67 against Eddie Sanchez.[4][5]
