One of the, IF NOT the best overseas card YET!!!!! I will be watching this one for sure!!!! Cant wait!!!! The arrival of Kang, Shogun is back, Kampmann, Franklin vs Hendo…. What a card!!!!
I’ve herd that Horn is finaly training serously. Great card
It says he is going to fight at 170, I wonder who he is going to fight.
Sanchez, Fitch, hazelett, or Shields if they could sign him would all be interesting fights.
I agree , I can’t wait for his event.I’d rather see this card than UFC 92.
good fights
Kampman v Sanchez make it happen.
UFC 92, 93, 94 = amazing cards
