Hopefully his opponent makes "quick" work of him and spares us the pain of sitting through another 3 round of Mike. Yeah I’ll be grabbing a cold one during Mike’s “fight”.

I'm a huge Swick fan even though his last two at WW have not been that great. Hazelett would be the perfect opponent. Markham would be ok but I think that might end up looking alot like Swick/Davis.

No disrespect to Cote, but he's a striker who's fighting the best p4p striker on the planet. UFC will have move Silva up to light heavy on a regular basis because there isn't anybody at 185 who can challenge him. Watching Silva destroy lesser competition at 185 will get old very quickly.

Yes, it was by decision, but I think it showed much more than an early stoppage might've that Koscheck will not beat GSP if given a second opportunity anytime soon. HOWEVER, the best thing for Kos would be if either one of those guys could defeat GSP (especially Diego). Kos would be the immediate #1 contender without even having to fight a top 10 guy. Koscheck can continue to fight up-and-comers like Hazelett and still keep his standing in the division. I don't think GSP will lose, but I'm just saying that Koscheck's best chance is in GSP losing the belt. I think Koscheck is kind of stuck with having recently lost to GSP quite decisively.

As much as I hate to say it, shouldn't Kos and Diego fight again to see who gets the shot? I mean, Kos did beat diego. Granted, he lost to GSP right after that but he has won two in a row since. although, I can;t stand either fighter. I am not sure Diego Sanchez deserves a title shot right now.

I am very excited. I hope they get a good opponent for Swick. Middleweight champ Anderson Silva vs. Patrick Cote Thiago Alves vs. Diego Sanchez Tyson Griffin vs. Sean Sherk Fabricio Werdum vs. TBA Thales Leites vs. Goran Reljic Mike Swick vs. TBA Hermes Franca vs. Gleison Tibau Ricardo Almeida vs. Matt Horwich Josh Burkman vs. Pete Sell There is not one fight on there that I would not pay money to watch. Just an awesome fight card. Hopefully Swick and Werdum get interesting matchups to put the cherry on top.
