and hopefully Shogun v Liddell once they both get rehab’d somewhere around september, that would b best just chalk the Evans v Liddell fight to be a wash it really wasnt a great idea in the first place….
add Bisbing v Leben and Florian v Huerta

then put the winners of Lyoto v Tito , Wanderlei v Jardine against each other on the same card as Shogun v Liddell in sep that would be great in my humble opinion (ok well if Tito wins fuck it, put Evans v Jardine/Wanderlei, o but what if Wanderlei wins but moves down to MW, soo it would be training partners against each other, this is sooooo confusing), make Shogun v Liddell happen now, bottom line please…… cheers

The card as follows: -Fabricio Werdum vs. Brandon Vera -Nate Marquardt vs. Thales Leites -Marcus Davis vs. Mike Swick -Martin Kampmann vs. Jorge Rivera Preliminary Bouts: -Ryo Chonan vs. Roan Carneiro -Thiago Tavares vs. Matt Wiman -Luis Arthur Cane vs. Jason Lambert -Jess Liaudin vs. Paul Taylor -Neil Wain vs. Antoni Hardonk I bet they wish they still had cro-cop on their roster as he'd fit in nicely. My guess is they'll put it on Spike, but wow, Werdum and Marquart as co-main events could = disaster. They are calling Florian & Huerta right now as we speak, as that could be billed as a #1 contender for the shot at the belt and fill in as the main event.

Bisping has a great attack.. with a good mix punches kicks and knees.. and although Leben looked very technical in his bout with Terry Martin.. it looked like he reverted back to his sloppy ways in the Sakara fight [sloppy as they may be... they work] they obviously both have great chins.. Lebens head is just like.. a BIG rock.. and in 16 fights.. Bisping's never been KO'd.. it would come down to Leben swinging for the fences [and eventually gassing] and Bisping countering every attack.. or.. Bisping could take it to the ground.. Then again, we could see a 5 sec. KO.. nothing's for sure these days.. i wouldn’t mind seeing Bisping/Leben.. for free.. it would just be a crappy MAIN EVENT.. as i mentioned earlier.. how weird would it be to go from swick/davis to vera/werdum then to Bisping/Leben??

In my opinion it might be a bit of a risk in how the UFC is building Bisping as a MW contender, because Leben is no joke. They both have TUF popularity, so they might be able to pull it off on Spike.

Terrible scheduling by silva, they should have spread out more of the fights from 84 to 83 and 85. Now they are producing 2 really crappy cards and one pretty good card. Wish Pride was still around and you would see champions fight every couple of months instead of an average of 1.5 times a year. UFC scheduling is a joke. They should just cancel the card.

He said in a post fight interview he might be fighting again rather quickly and this card is in England. Main event of Bisping-Franklin might be interesting.
