Beautiful. Hopefully they'll be up by the day after. Unfortunately I have to go thru the hassle of registering to yet another site.  >:(

These two fights should be pretty entertaining and I doubt they will go to a decision.
Predictions
 40/61

Anyone who isn't a TUF nuthugging piece of shit will be buying this card. I can't wait to see these fights. Can't even describe how pumped I am for this card, so many big names on it. Just wish Arona was fighting.

That's just it.  Most of US fans are...well, nuthugging TUF noobs who think fedor is an old fucking hat.  You can tell that UFC is somewhat intimidated.  Every match on their card is a name athlete for UFC (Ortiz/Liddell, griffin, Arlovski).

Hell yeah, Aoki is pretty slick on the ground, but I think Hansen is good enough on the ground to avoid being submitted and I think he will eventually win by entertaining KO.

Hansen is a tough mofo, but I am hoping Aoki will win.

Earl, I've used it long before you. It just seems to have a nice impact here. Maybe I do use it too much, but when you got clowns claiming CroCop has to watch out for Liddell, then it's pretty well deserved.

I would LOVE to see Chack versus Mirko.  World class striker against a good MMA striker.  TUF pundits would finally see that MMA was around before TUF 1 aired.

I went to a seminar of his, and he has major skills on the mat.  Extremely slick, good transitions, good set ups.  Really tight inverted heal hook had me crying like a little girl.
