A journeyman who has fought for the UFC for the past 4 years? The term you're looking for is gatekeeper. And it's easy to connect dots on a conspiracy theory. Anything and everything that can be used to validate your argument is included while anything that hurts it gets thrown out the window. A journeyman?

Bonnar/Jones or Parisyan/Kim compares to Fitch/Gono? Bonnar is a journeyman at best at this point in his career, and Parisyan could have bailed out at any moment due to his anxiety disorder. Fitch took GSP through five rounds, and Gono is a known commodity with a following in Asia due to his time in Pride. Fitch didn't want to give UFC control over his image, so UFC doesn't televise his fight even though he had been a headliner against GSP. Pretty easy to connect the dots on that one.

It's common for UFC to open with a LW fight Karo/Kim - Kim is part of UFC's strategy to break into Korea Bonnar/Jones - Popular TUF 1 finalist and explosive LHW prospect Machida/Silva - LHW #1 Contenders Bout So it's pretty easy to see why Fitch ended up dry humping Gono in the prelims as opposed to the main card.

He had won at least eight consecutive fights and took GSP through five rounds before losing by decision. Putting him in a non-televised fight didn't make sense except as punishment for dragging his feet about UFC's insistence about its right to use his image. After he capitulated and took his public flogging on the undercard, he's back on a televised fight. If you can't see that for what it was, get your eyes checked. If you don't think that White is capable of sending Trigg into the octagon for an ass whipping after his remarks about UFC, you've been swimming in a famous Egyptian River. Da Nile.

Seen him fight lately?" You mean in the ONE fight he's had since he Main Evented against GSP? And oh no, he's gonna be on the main card of UFC 100. Waaaaaah. “Ask Jon Fitch. Seen him fight lately?”

The way I remember it, Trigg said unflattering things about UFC while commentating for Pride before it was bought out by UFC. Trigg later said that the former Pride owners made him do it, which may or may not be true. Either way, I'm sure Dana still remembers, and I don't think he's the forgiving sort. Ask Jon Fitch.

Kos is just too strong, too fast, and too young for Trigg. I don't see Trigg doing so well in his return to the UFC, I like him so I hope I'm wrong but it just doesn't look good to me.

Kos has improved immensely over the years and is coming into this fight hungry and pissed. The only way Trigg wins is if he gets Kos on his back, and that will not happen.

He's bigger, stronger, faster and with better cardio. Trigg's going to need one hell of a performance to win this one. I like Trigg but I think Koscheck is going to curb stomp him.
