Burkman always pushes the action, and when he gets tired of chasing he will drop his hands and taunt from the center of the cage.... In his desire to push the action and make the fight exciting he has been caught because of that haste. I think if he fights the fight his way, anybody will be hard pressed to beat him at 170, 185, and possibly his natural 205. WAR SALT LAKE!!!!

Go for a takedown, Pete! Pete Sell fights usually end up looking more like toughman fights than MMA, which is why I’m kind of tired of them. Go for a takedown, Pete!

While Almeida looked like complete ass in his fight with Cote, a win over a guy like Horwich would be a step in the right direction. For Horwich to win, it would put him in the 2nd tier status of fighters like Bisping/Leben and would set up future matchups. There is also the Horwich/Almeida fight which will have MW implications.

This card is still 2 1/2 months away, and already has some good and relevant fights. A MW title fight, a fight for the WW number 1 contender, and a fight that could launch Tyson Griffin into the LW title picture. Werdum a top 10 HW has also mentioned that he will be fighting on this card. I have plenty of faith in Joe Silva, that this card will end up loaded. Matt, I agree with you.

This card will end up being really good. People who complain about cards need to chill out. Sherk/Griffin will be awesome and fast paced. Yes, it will go to a decision but who gives a shit? Silva/Cote will end in a KO in the 2nd (I'm giving Cote a round to fight as he has a pretty good chin and decent wrestling that I think he may make it outta the first). Guillard/Fisher is gonna be a slugfest and will end in someone unconscious. And Sanchez/Alves will be for the #1 contender for the WW title. Plus you know that Joe Silva will end up putting additional great fights on this card. Sam, I know you want to up your readership but the recent influx was morons is incredible.

The who is going to a lesser promotion showcase match. Oddly enough this fight will probably be a very exciting matchup. Won't be televised however.
