Eh, I like that we got a new one actually. It was time to refresh it. I'm excited for a lot of these cards. I'm excited for Shogun/Liddell. I think Liddell can easily take that. If he is serious about utilizing his wrestling more and continues to work with ATT he can easily become relevant again in the LHW. A lot of his losses (minus Jardine) have been by flash KO's that would've knocked anybody out. If the Shogun that showed up against Coleman, shows up against Liddell, Chucky should own him.
Houston Alexander vs Andre Gusmao @ UFC 98. If it hits the ground, Houston is done. They should've gave him Sokoudjou before they cut Sok. That would've been awesome.
George Sotiropolous is injured and will be replaced by Matt Veach. Sotiropolous is now the third fighter injured and off the card along with Hermes Franca and Amir Sadollah.
UFC 100 is going to be held at Mandalay Bay. Supposedly the UFC is gunning for multiple title fights.
Holy crap. That bout makes no sense to me. Any idea when this rumored bout is supposed to take place?
That kind of sucks. I want Wandy/Chuck II. Will we see Hendo/Wandy III ? Who else is at MW for Wandy? He doesn't have much left in his career and he has suffered some vicious knock outs. He is so exciting to watch, I hope he can still perform well and can avoid those left hooks.
that's the one thing.. dropping down to 185 won't take away all the beating he's taken. He'll still be susceptible to being caught and Ko'd.
UFC 97 is going to be called Redemption. For those keeping score at home, yes, UFC 17 was also called Redemption.
Ben Saunders is out for UFC 96. Tamdan McCrory will take his place. So it's a battle of the replacements as Ryan Madigan replaced Dustin Hazelett
