It's hard to beat a card like UFC 84, as that was a great, great card. UFC 85 still has some really interesting fights, like Leites vs Marquardt, Alves vs Hughes, Fab Doom vs Vera and Davis vs Swick. All of those fights are important, and hell, we could be seeing new contenders.

That really is the only problem; UFC 84 is just a hard card to follow. Add in the fact that a ton of fighters have dropped from the card, and some people start off with a negative expectation.

It doesn't matter in some peoples eyes that the replacement fights are almost as good or even better because their "faith", so to speak, in the card has been shaken.

Put all that together and I understand why it is hard for some people, especially more casual fans, to get hyped. I also understand people not neccesarily wanting to shell out another 50 bones after doing it less than a month earlier.

But I can gaurentee there will be some really awsome fights on this card; so many close mathch ups. I won't be super hyped going in, but I am pretty sure I will be very satisfied by nights end.

I've been waiting to see Vera fight again.

Me too...I don't know why but that fight excites me the most.

na what it is.. we all paid to see Chuck thats why it sold out so quickly, the guys a legend and to be honest alot of people wouldnt of gone looking at the card currently. I like the UFC and im a pretty big fan but I may not get a chance again to see Chuck fight live unless i travelled to america, so I think that is why im so dissapointed especially with the fact a few other biggish names pulled out and were not really replaced.

Leben got busted.

You've said yourself Chuck got injured, how is that Dana White and the UFC's fault? It's just bad luck, and it's been a fuckin cursed card from the beginning. You're moaning about the mponey you paid but the UFC were fully intending to deliver Liddell to the fans here in England.

I lost some excitment after all the injuries, but I've got a feeling some of the fights are going to be wars. In fact the more I think about it the more I like the Vera, Hughes, Davis and Marquardt fights. I'm looking forward to see Vera most but Kampmann too.

Sure I wish Shogun, Liddell, Evans, Irvin etc were all on the card but there will be plenty more UFC's here in the future and I'll be going to all of them

He his serving time for an old DUI charge i think it is. he tried to get it cleared up so he could get a visa, probably expecting community service, and got his ass taken to jail. He isn't in for long, infact he might be out already, but he meant he wouldn't have been able to train properly for the fight so dropped out.

Bisping Day should be a fun fight even if I was looking forward to Bisping finally fighting a striker.

Of Course Matt Hughes, Michael Bisping, Fabricio Verdum, Nate "the Great" And The Irish Hand Granade....

By The Way Who Is Going To Be The #1 Contender For The Ufc Mw Title???? Is The Ufc Getting Michael Bisping To Be That Man???? Is There Going To Be A Bisping Vs. Franklin To Determine The #1 Contendership???

How About A 3rd Fight Between The Ace And The Spider... 3rd May Be The Charm For Rich Franklin...

Damn!!!!!! I'm Juiced On Ufc
