Herring getting some knees in?...lol...don't think so
...I noticed a few people giving Heath a good chance via using knees...lol...no way! Kongo is taller and much stronger than Herring, and Kongo is the Muay Thai specialist. To say Herring would win this fight is the equivilent of picking Tank over Kimbo...hello!...  |

According to UFC.com, they are the same height, but I agree that Kongo will probably be more effective with the knees. |

I think Heath can use knees on the ground well.

G'day all
This is an amazing card, full of talent and shows just how strong the UFC is becoming. Should be great!
Predictions:
Some very tough fights early hard to pick a winner.
Silva by TKO, has too many options and is too slick.
Fitch by Sub, hes a BEAST! Fitch vs GSP for title would be an insane war.
Okami by TKO, will beat up on old man.
Kongo by decision, better striker with reasonable takedown defense and scramble.
Leben by KO, but who cares anyway?
Finally a question. Does anyone know if UFC events are broadcast in pubs and clubs in Australia yet? Im sure they would draw a bigger audience than any boxing match.

Kongo is way stronger, more powerful, and an overall better fighter than Heath. Silva is going to take the win against Henderson. Just wait and see. Henderson is going to have to go into retirement. LOL. THATS ALL FOLKS!  |
Knees to the head are illegal, knees to the body are not.

Just bought the PPV. It was 55 dollars. I thought I had read that the UFC was making a standard price of 45 dollars for both SD and HD. But that is not the case. FYI the SD is 45.

It looked like Koscheck had an exciting fight. Man, I think the Arlovski-O'Brien fight is going to be a snoozer. Jake is going to keep shooting and Andrei is just going to sprawl.
