Not very exciting on paper but you know how that goes. Interested to see Liddell's return to the ring. Seems like a pretty favorable matchup for Liddell. Franklin can't take him down and definitely can't out strike him.

I'm interested to watch Pat Barry fight again. Guy is all heart and he's gonna leave it all in the cage.

Should be a good fight. I probably wont see it though.

Lots of UFC goons walking around town the past couple of days. I'll stick with the soccer hooligans thanks.

just not enough for me to pay $60 for.

as for the Chuck vs franklin fight i see Franklin takeing it.

 

[Spineshank]

I normally watch at a bar but lately that bar hasnt been getting it and Hooters is too expensive for this fight.

Franklin has disappointed me lately. Im thinking Liddell.

 

[Tea Bag]

Chuck looked shredded at the weigh-ins so he's definitely ready but let's see if he can stick to his new game plan the entire fight (the one where he doesn't swing wildly and get caught like his last two losses) he may have a shot. I think this one's too close to call. This and the Crocop/Barry fight will be slugfests and MAY redeem an otherwise meh card.

WTF? Another fight already? Didn't they just have one like 3 weekends back?

 

[Spineshank]

Theres another one in 2 weeks. Next week is the Fedor fight for Strikeforce, then in 2 weeks Lesnar defends.

UFC is pretty much doing 2 a month with 1 being in the US and then one international.

Yeah, they are getting more an more frequent. Another card next weekend too....

Was a fairly weak card. Not worth the money thats for sure. Liddell getting knocked out so fast was surprising but once he rushed i knew he was in trouble.
