UFC 65

UFC 65: Bad Intentions was a mixed martial arts competition held by the Ultimate Fighting Championship on November 18, 2006, at the ARCO Arena in Sacramento, California – the UFC's first show at this venue. It was broadcast live on pay-per-view in the United States and Canada, and was later released on DVD.

The card featured the anticipated rematch between Matt Hughes and Georges St-Pierre for the UFC Welterweight Championship – a fight originally scheduled for UFC 63. UFC 65 also featured a heavyweight title bout between Undisputed UFC Heavyweight ChampionTim Sylvia and Jeff Monson.

This event marked one of the few occasions that a UFC card with two non-interim title fights featured the lower weight class' title fight as the card's main event. The UFC had stated afterwards that all cards with two title fights will always have the heavier weight class' title fight as the main event. UFC 169 on February 1, 2014, would later feature two non-interim title fights, with the lighter weight class as main event.^[3]

UFC 65's original slated main event was a championship superfight with UFC Light Heavyweight ChampionChuck Liddell defending his title against PRIDE Middleweight Champion Wanderlei Silva, a matchup UFC President Dana White announced during UFC 61 on July 8, 2006. Since then, the matchup appeared to have been postponed or cancelled because Tito Ortiz had been guaranteed a title shot at UFC 66, which was too close to UFC 65, as White stated in several interviews.^[4]

El combate estelar entre Hughes y St-Pierre era muy esperado. Se anunció oficialmente por primera vez para UFC 63 durante la edición del 17 de julio de 2006 de The Hot List en ESPNEWS . La pelea se anunció antes, sin fecha, en una conferencia de prensa en Toronto , Ontario, Canadá, el 7 de abril de 2006, y se hizo alusión al enfrentamiento, pero no se anunció oficialmente, durante la transmisión de pago por evento de UFC 58. ^{[ 5 ]}
