My Predictions......

GSP KO OR SUB RND. 2 MAYBE 3
FLORIAN SUB RND. 3
BROCK TKO RND. 1

An exciting card indeed

Coleman got injured and had to pull out.

Too bad, but I'm just as excited for Herring/Lesnar, I love Heath Herring. Gonna be a tough fight for him though, can't wait to see it LIVE!

Got my tickets in the mail a few days ago.

SO PUMPED.

Can not wait for August 9th, Edgar/Hermes and Maia/Macdonald getting confirmed is freakin sweet too. So great.

Wow. I'm pumped for the Dan Evensen vs. Cheick Kongo fight. First country man ever fighting in the UFC, as far as i know ;-D.

Evensen is supposedly a beast. He used to weigh around 320 lbs - but got interested in MMA and dropped down in weight. He used to be a boxer - and has boxed 4 fights. Also, he was Norway's champion in judo when he was sixteen years old + he played american football for five years. He was also planning on joining the Olympics in Sydney in year 2000 in "sledgehammer - throwing" (don't know the proper word for it.

I actually think he'll surprise some of us, and pull off the upset. (:

i really dont see much chance of fitch winning this one.
his tdd wont stop GSPs gnp.
im still not sold on GSPs chin,
but i dont really see him letting fitch test it out anyway.

i think t.alves would make a better matchup.

curious to see k.flo, huerta and a.johnson.
all 3 have looked really good at times,
but there are still lots of questions about them.
hopefully these fights will help to answer some of that.

Sort of a weak match-up, but hey it looks like the UFC lately is becoming more like the WWE everyday. Slowly but surely, right?

Honestly, WTF are you talking about.... For starters, you make Diego out like some sort of shit fighter, which he obviously isn't considering he is a top 10 WW. Fitch 100% deserves his shot, considering he is 8-0 in the UFC, one of (or equal, ns) the longest winning streaks in the UFC, including Diego Sanchaz AND Thiago Alves.

The Anderson Silva, GSP superfight aint gonna happen for a LONG time, considering GSP hasn't had one successful title defence, and A.Silva is fighting at LHW (and MW i think also).

If we put fights in with outright winners everytime (that seems to be your opinion), then there's just no point of some fights, since favourites always win...

Also, putting the Champion vs. the No.1 Contender is making the UFC more like WWE? To answer question, wrong. If anything it's less, since that got rid of Tito
