Main Event [glow=red,2,300]Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez vs. Joe "Daddy" Stevenson[/glow] Other fights on the main card feature:Dan Hardy vs. Rory Markham Nate "The Great" Marquardt vs. Wilson Gouveia Demian Maia vs. Chael Sonnen Josh Koscheck vs. Paulo Thiago Undercard fights feature:Terry Etim vs. Brian Cobb Stefan Struve vs. Junior dos Santos Neil Grove vs. Mike Ciesnolevicz Evan Dunham vs. Per Ecklund Paul Kelly vs. Troy Mandaloniz Overall, not the best looking card, but I still think it will be a great night of fights.

My picks:
-- Sanchez over Stevenson by TKO
-- Hardy over Markham by KO (Rory could win the same way, but of the two, I think Markham has the weaker chin)
-- Marquardt over Gouveia by unanimous decision
-- Maia over Sonnen by submission (what else?)
-- Koscheck over Thiago by TKO
-- Etim over Cobb, split decision
-- Dos Santos over Struve by TKO
-- Grove over Mike C by TKO
-- Eklund over Dunham by unanimous decision
-- Kelly over Troy M. by TKO

Sanchez is a prick. Stevenson all the way.
Marquardt
Koscheck
Maia.
PS: Watch for Damian Maia...That guy is probably the fastest rising star in the UFC. He'll be champ one day.

Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez vs. Joe "Daddy" Stevenson- I can't see Joe Daddy having anything that can prepare him for someone like Diego. Diego is a beast. Hopefully after this fight Joe Daddy goes to the WEC because if he does lose that just proves he can't hang with the big boys and would be better suited at 145. Other fights on the main card feature: Dan Hardy vs. Rory Markham Nate "The Great" Marquardt vs. Wilson Gouveia Demian Maia vs. Chael Sonnen- The next MW champ right here..he will have the belt when Anderson retires..haha..because nobody is taking that belt from Silva but I do believe Maia to be the most talented guy in that division and is just a complete badass. Josh Koscheck vs. Paulo Thiago Undercard fights feature: Paul Kelly vs. Troy Mandaloniz-  ing b.s. that Paul Kelly is on the undercard.

Why are they even calling this UFC 95? It should be called Fight Night Live for god sakes. Even if this was a FNL...I'd be disappointed in the card.

yeah very lackluster card for UFC95. Some good fights but no real star power that will bring in the casual fan to watch.
I'm still excited though...just because I'm a huge mark for Diego Sanchez

Good god, I'm not a Koscheck fan by any means...but I don't agree with Rogan, or the ref's decision.

This is such a pointless card. It's nothing more than a filler.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a HUGE MMA fan. It's a good card, but like DWright said, it's barely near a fight night card. Stevenson and Sanchez aren't much of star power. I just don't consider this a PPV at all. I'm glad it's on Spike, and Dana is smart for putting it on Spike, cause there is no way in hell this would draw in even average ratings for a ufc ppv event.

Koscheck losing tonight came out of no where and it sucks because I was pulling for him but looking at the replays I'm pretty sure that ref made the right call in stopping the fight.

I disagree with the refs decsion also Rogan. KOS was recovering and I think it wasnt that bad. Nut no biggie. No one doesent lose in MMA KOS will be back...

I disagree with Koscheck's reaction afterward, though. So you think it's a quick stoppage... fair enough. But at least stand there for the official announcement like a professional.
Pulling his arm away from the ref and stewing around the cage was bush league and Thiago deserved better. Quick stoppage or not, Thiago won that fight fair and square. He has no control over how quick the ref stops the fight... he put Koscheck on his back with a pair of legal strikes, and he won the fight. Koscheck should have shown him the respect of standing there for five seconds to let the man enjoy his first UFC win.

I totally agree with the ref stopping the Koscheck fight. He was just lying there.

He raised both legs to ready himself for upkicks, defend from any swarm of G'n'P, and at least be in position for butterfly guard. He also had his hand up ready to defend from Thiago coming in for a flury. I think it was a VERY premature stoppage...but I also agree that Kos acted like a child. |

Thiago did win fair and square. But it was a premature stoppage as D Wright said. And not trying to be a prick but since when has KOS been respectful??  He has always been like that and Always will. Thats why I like him...  He will be back. Hopefully he can get what he wants in 6 fights in 09... |

since when has KOS been respectful?? Only when he wins. He's a class act as long as he's on the right side of the stoppage. Otherwise, he's a crybaby. |
