Personally I wanna see Hendo vs Palhares and Nate vs Kampman.

Other than that... I don't know

Definitely looking forward to Evans getting peeled back for the first time...

Rich is always cool to watch too..

That card sucks. I am looking forward to seeing Rashad get KTFO once and for all.

I really like having Rich and Chuck on the same card. Both are great draws. There isn't much in the way of superstar battles, but the sheer star power here will make for a fun night. I do think a lot of these are going to be pretty one sided though. And it's live from Atlanta, which I believe is a first.

to me it looks like a REALLY good card..like it was said before chuck, rich AND henderson all on the same card. it sounds good anyway..i really hope all 3 of the guys win if they do i will say it was worth the money

I met matt hamill real good guy.underrated should be undefeated

when the fuck is Kimbo fighting again?

Wow cant believe they would match up Matt Hammill with Franklin. I wonder how he landed that fight. Looks like Matt Brown has his hands full.

It's a decent card,I've definetly seen worse.....

Tavares and Pellegrino sounds like the best fight on there !

Dball · « **Reply #12 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:22:17 PM »

Like I said, not the most competitive card out there, but the number of good fighters on that card alone should make for a decent night. In Austin, Texas anyway...

americanbulldog · « **Reply #13 on:** August 14, 2008, 10:24:07 PM »

Hendo/Palhares for me.

I'm looking forward to James Lee getting his first UFC win. Michigan MMA!

I don't like this fight, cause I don't want either to lose...

this would be one of those fights if hamil does lose (and I'd give Frankling a definite edge) that he'd learn a lot in the process

you might be right,Hamil's almost like a 205 version of lesnar on the ground....

problem is if it stays standing up I don't think Hamils hands are good enough to deal with a southpaw like franklin

I see Rich picking apart Matt on the feet.

Really bad matchup for Ace. He is used to being the bigger and stronger fighter, he will get mauled by Hamil.
