Jesus Christ, Sam was right, there are fucking idiots everywhere in here. Rashad is undefeated but still gets no love, wouldn’t any body watch, if anything, just to see him finally get beat. Since he has never been beaten, wouldn’t he be the favorite? Turtle-Fuck or not he is a force to be reckoned with.

I see what you mean about it being Franklin’s only choice to drop down, but its not like he will ever get the LHW belt either. I think the Henderson thought may be true. Henderson is much better than a lot of newbees realize. They just see he’s 0-2 in his return stint to the UFC. I’m sorry, but losing two fights is NOT a big deal considering who he lost to. He gave Rampage all he could handle and beat Anderson in the first round. I still think Henderson fairs better than anybody against anderson at MW. I would like to eventually see a rematch.

#7 – Houston Alexander vs Chuck? Houston doesn’t deserve to fight any top contenders until he proves himself. He has a HUGE hole in his game.

#20 – Rumor has it that Franklin moved up to avoid the fight against Henderson. I doubt it though, more likely that he realized that he will most likely never get the middleweight belt back from Anderson so I guess there is no other option.

#24 – Thiago Silva is fighting Lyotho Machida at UFC 89. Should be an interesting match

Liddell is a better fighter, but he will loose. Evans has the power to take down and get points, he wont exchange. Chuck cannot out-wrestle him. I bet the fight will be boring and chuck gets pissed evans wont stand and exchange…Evans by decision…Unfortunately

i like the card. i think lidell should fight thiago silva hes finished all his opponents. including alexander and irvin. and franklin should fight henderson. as far as evans havent seen much from him. if he somehow someway beats liddel he ll be mentioned but not till. i will not count any 1 out after the jackson griffin fight.

I’m just glad to see the UFC come closer to South Carolina.

I am praying Chuck knocks out Rashad. How does he even deserve a fight against Chuck anyway? He gets a draw against Tito and barely beats Bisping. How the hell does that justify the matchup?

This card looks great. I am still surprised that they did not put Franklin vs. Henderson, but there matches will be intriguing nonetheless. I heard Anderson Silva maybe fighting Okami for the title as well, but that is yet to be confirmed.

“Rashad is a great athlete. Chuck is a great fighter. I’ll take the fighter.”

RASHARD WHO?

After watching Evans gas out in the first round in his last fight I was asking my buddy’s wheres the professionalism? This guy is a BUM

It’s coming back to Georgia! That’s whats important to me.

At UFC 13 I paid $40 for third row seats. I’m all over the DVD if you look into the crowd. I sat right in between Kevin Randleman’s & Mark Coleman’s families.

Seats like that now would be, what…. $2,000?

@14 nah, Hamill looked gassed too, but he just had more in the tank. That last round was almost in slow motion.

#14, Boetsch did toss David Heath into the cage like somebody kicking their little brother’s ass!!

I hope Yoshida beats the shit out of Karo.

The altitude didn’t seem to bother Hamill.

Seriously, I hope Boetsch can get back to his tossing opponents against the cage days!

I’m looking forward to Boetsch minus the Denver altitude! I hate Colorado!!

This card is pretty good so far, I don’t know what everyone is thinking here.

Chuck Liddell vs. Rashad Evans, 2 top 10 LHWs

Rich Franklin vs. Matt Hamill, a top 10 MW going up in weight to fight a promising young fighter

Dan Henderson vs. Rousimar Palhares, a top 10 fighter at MW & LHW going against a future star of the 185 lb. division

Karo Parisyan vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida, a top ten WW and another guy who has all the skills to be a top 10 fighter in time

James Lee vs. Tim Boetsch, fight is nothing special but for a preliminary fight is perfectly fine.
