Good to see Tamden get another shot. It was pretty on the fence for a while...here's hoping for a win.
I'm really not happy about Manny vs Emerson actually being on the main card. It's such a mediocre fight and sounds like a Fight Night fight. I know you can't always have a stacked card...but my god, that fight just seems INCREDIBLY boring. Lay N Pray Manny vs a guy that Dana obviously likes in Rob Emerson. Does Dana owe this kids family some money?

I never knew Heath Herring's nickname was "TBD", but I'm glad that they gave him a cool Noob Saibot-like graphic.  That said, looks like it could be a good card. Lesnar/Herring is my fight of interest, though. |

I'd love to see Herring destroy Lesnar. It would be funny. Sadly...it looks doubtful.

I don't see how this fight gets to be on the main card at all. At least the rest of the card is pretty strong, but it's just confusing. |

GSP & Lesnar = me buying this PPV. Looks like a stacked card, here's hoping that Rush & Lesnar have convincing victories.

Still so bitter about this PPV. I had tickets to this amazing card, but had to sell them because of a wedding. Considering GSP and Huerta are my favourites respectfully, I'm so bummed about it.
>:(Here's hoping the PPV is terrible.

I should be going to this one, too, but my friends and girlfriend are all going to the Dave Matthews Band concerts in Wisconsin that weekend... So I'm being guilted into it (even though I love DMB).  |

FOR SHAAAAAME! I actually am going to a stupid wedding also, but it's on Friday...but I'm actually going to leave earlier on Saturday in order to get back home and have a bit of time and watch. |

You can take my word on that because I was there in Montreal for UFC #83 when GSP beat Matt Serra and took his belt back. It's an experience you won't soon forget, I'll say that much. And anyone who's witnessed the UFC live would say the exact same thing. Just an awesome, awesome time. This looks like a hell of a card. Hope you have a great time!! |

Alrighty, so we're under way.
Cheick Kongo picks up a win. With the mass exodus of UFC HW Talent, I can see a HW title shot in his future.
Methinks a Kongo vs. Gonzaga fight to determine the opponent of the winner of Lesnar/Herring to determine the #1 contender after Mir/Nog would be pretty epic.
(To make it simple, I'm suggesting Kongo vs. Gonzaga, with the winner facing the winner of Herring/Lesnar. Kongo or Gonzaga vs. Herring or Lesnar would be for the #1 Contendership once Mir and Nog have their HW fight after TUF finishes. )
But, eh, that's just me.
"Fantasy booker extraordinaire" I'm not.

I broke down and ordered the show. I'm really looking forward to Heath/Brock. It should be a damn good fight as well as GSP/Fitch and Huerta/Florian.
