Wow, 102 is looking to be as good as 100! I'm really looking forward to Hamill vs. Vera and Marquardt vs. Maia.

I would agree that perhaps Randy's chin is not as good as it used to be. Mind you, his chin was probably in its prime when he was a fair bit younger - not when he was supposedly at his prime, fighting-wise.

I think in Randy's fight against GG he looked possibly the best he ever has - good takedowns, good boxing, and mostly just how brutal he was in the striking. Granted GG was hurt, but before that happened Randy was looking great.

The fight with Brock - well, Brock has dropped everyone he's fought hasn't he?

I hope both Randy and Nog put on a good show - it's just a shame that no matter what happens, people will be saying one or the other is washed up.

Not unless its a dynamic fight.

If the fight is stopped from a less-than-usual fashion like a weak submission or gnp stoppage that we can all complain about then I'd say yeah, that fighter is washed up.

And I believe they both should consider retirement.

This card = AMAZING, almost every fight on this card is a "wow, what is going to happen?!?!" type of fight. There are quite of a few of my favorite fighters on this card and they are all matched up against someone who has the tools to beat them. I hope to see an amazing fight between Nog and Couture, but I have a feeling that most of the other fights will be better, even ones that seem like they will be prelim.

^ Yeah man, thats a good observation saying the opponents have what it takes to beat the other guy.

I like Jardine vs Silva, Gouveia vs Irvin, the main event, Leben's return (lets see how he works when hes not on roids) and Marquardt vs Maia = sex for your eyes.

Wow this card is gonna be dynamite! Great main card and interesting undercard. Most fights are really tough to pick.

UFC 101 looks amazing too with Penn/Florian and Anderson/Griffin as main events.

I wish we always had cards like that

Picks for this card? Randy and Big Nog seems impossible to predict...i would probably make Nog the favorite but wouldn't be surprised if Randy pulls it out.

Marquardt/Maia will be awesome. I'm a huge Maia supporter but Marquardt looks like a killer in the octagon these days - so versatile. And he's friggin' massive for a middleweight. I'd still bet on Maia but it will be close.

Wow this really makes up for the lack of marquee-named talent on UFC95.
