There's some interesting fights coming up shortly... will be interesting to see Randy as a heavy weight again, I think he's got a good chance against Sylvia... I wonder what weight he will be and if he'd be comfortable with that weight and not gas.

If he beats Sylvia he will go against Crocop... too bad, but maybe he can use the cage to his advantage to take Crocop down? It's too bad Randy lacks offensive qualities... Randy being a wrestler works both in his favor and against him... in his favor the athleticism, control, balance and takedowns... but he lacks a special weapon like submission or KO power.

Light heavyweight looks better than in a long time, I don't think anyone can touch Chuck, but that doesnt mean there's not gonna be a lot of good fights... we'll see a lot of stand up fighting thats for sure!

Bisping will be interesting to watch for sure. He's currently 12-0-0. Rashad Evans too, I wonder how long it will take for him to get a title fight? He's 10-0-0 right now.And then there's Rampage... who will rampage fight before chuck? Maybe they'll put him against Bisping, or Rashad? Then we've got Sobral, he's only got one loss in 4 years... even if he didnt beat chuck, he's still good.

Welterweight... GSP always interesting to watch... not sure who could take him on at this time though. Matt Hughes still good, his gameplan against GSP was horrible, but he's still got a 45-5 record and won over BJ Penn before GSP... speaking of BJ, coming off 2 losses he needs to bring it this time...

What kinda fights you wish for to happen?

Rampage and Chuck are rumored to be fighting May26, at UFC 71 in Las Vegas. Anderson Silva is also rumored to be facing his toughest test in the UFC yet at UFC 72 in June when he will likely face Nate Marquardt. Nate is tough as nails and he's coming off a solid win against Dean Lister, his team is on a roll right now and he has all the tools to pull the upset. If he gets Anderson in any of the positions Lutter had him in he will finish him. Bisping will be fighting Elvis Sinosic at UFC 70 in the Uk which isn't really a big step up nowadays since Elvis hasn't won in the UFC since 2001. Bj Penn will be fighting Jens Pulver in the main event of the TUF 5 finale June 23, with the winner getting a title shot at the 155lb title (Sherk).

Elvis is going to be mauled by Bisping. IMO The Count has better striking and better subs, Elvis hasnt made much of an impression for a while and i dont see this one going the distance by a long way

Agreed

I also read Werdum might be fighting Arlovski at UFC 70 in the Uk, that is a big addition to the UFC if true.

I can't wait to see that Silva vs Marquardt fight. Nate hasn't loss since 2003. He has won his last seven fights. That one should be good. BJ vs Pulver will be another "don't run to the fridge to grab another beer fight" IMO. Can't wait for that one. As far as Bisping goes, he could probably fight Elvis with the flu, a 101 degree fever and a scorching case of Chlamydia and still win a second round KO. Sinosic hasn't beaten any top class guys. He did beat Horn back in 2001 but that was a bad roll out by Horn if I remember correctly.

Werdum by brutal GNP unless Andre regains his heart and swings with the venom he used to. That would make a fight of it atleast

never used to like koshcheck,but i'm starting like him..hope he beats diego!!(can't wait to see that fight) diego has been lucky with winning decisions..i thought nick diaz,john alessio,and karo fights could/should have went the other way(but hey,maybe my judgment is clouded by my strong dislike for the guy)..

anyone that meditates and do a lot of religious stuff like diego deserves to be beaten

that's exactly what i'm talking about..it's ok to believe in God(like a normal catholic or such), but this guy thinks he is some zen master(that zen stuff is pure bullshit)..meditation may be a usefull tool if your a marksman,sniper,surgen,or something like that..hey,even a quick little(and quite) prayer to yourself before entering the cage is something i can understand, but diego just takes it way too far..

i thought Diaz was robbed at first but on reflection he wasnt ever going to win that fight from a judges perspective. I dont know why everyone hates him as much as they do, hes a good enough fighter and in this sport thats all that matters

yes your judgment is definitly clouded because diego was the clear winner in all of those fights

clear winner..no way,they were all close fights..diaz was on bottom alot,but he kept busy,went for submissions(ok,admittedly this fight was not so close as the others i mentioned)..However,i was shocked that he got the decision over alessio..in my opinion,john clearly won that fight..karo fight was close,i was disappointed with karos' performance,although i was very impressed with that awesome throw(when he cartwheeled diego on his head)..I still think diego has no chance with a "A" class fighter like GSP,BJ, or even matt hughes..

I begrudgingly think Diego won the fights with the possible exception of Alessio. If Diego hadn't have been on Alessio's back during the last half of the third round, I think he would have lost.
