What do you expect from this douche? There's no way this guy isn't on Dana White's payroll.

Agreed, Vitor/Anderson would have interested me, Fitch/Alves is almost guaranteed to be another typical Fitch style decision as is Guida/Dos Anjos and Hughes/Almeida. The only fight that jumps out at me is JDS/Nelson. Silva/Boestch should be funny for the 2 minutes that it lasts.

Crazy to think that you guys can't get excited over a Fitch/Alves rematch. These guys are the #2 & #3 welterweights in the world. That alone is worth the price for me.

Then you add JDS & Big Country! That's a fucking AWESOME match up!

And what about Chael/Silva? After all the shit that Chael has been talking, I can't wait to see what Anderson does to him. Or maybe, Chael pulls it off?

The rest of the card is loaded with exciting fighters and prospects like Guida, Thiago Silva, Struve, etc.

This is probably the most stacked card of 2010 so far.

Can't wait!

An open weight grand prix would be great...

Yes it would be, unfortunately the assholes at the athletic commission's won't allow it in the U.S

in all honesty, if the UFC pulled an Open Weight GP (even in another country) they would probably triple their PPV sales and could add another overall title to the ones they already have... it would be a brilliant business move.. they could do it from england or germany or any other ufc supported country.

It depends what you're into. Fights like the original Griffin/Bonner or more recent ones the Leonard Garcia/Zombie, which are slug-fests with little or no technique. Or, more technical fights like a GSP/Fitch or BJ/Florian. I like both, so to me, this card is full of great fights.

You couldn't pay me to watch that piece of shit.

GSP, and BJ put on good fights too.........just some of these guys get too 1 dimensional with the bjj, and they end up locked on the ground for entire fight...

I'm all for the ref stepping in when there is a stalemate in the ground or in the clinch.

You know when Pride had rematches, they were rematches for a reason, because either it was a close fight or the fans really demanded it...rematches that made sense and no one questioned..with the UFC rematches are a bullshit cash grab, like anyone really wanted to see Ortiz/Liddell 3

Ortiz/Liddell 3 was a joke. I agree. I think Dana was doing Chuck a favor by giving him a win to retire on. What rematch are you referring to on this card...Fitch/Alves? If so, that is an awesome rematch that I definitely want to see.

He is a lot worse than not even that good. He has no talent at all. Just a head like a brick and the fact that he is too stupid to stop attacking even when getting killed that make him fun to watch.

You gotta admit though, there is no other guy with a chin like him in MMA...I've seen the guy take beatings that would put brock in a coma and come back like nothing happened..

No doubt about his chin. If only he had some talent to go with it.

At least he's next to impossible to knock out.. he's halfway there in my book! over the next year or two he will learn how to fight and some BJJ and he will be kickass.
