Is that card for real?
Rashad Evans vs Thiago Silva as the main event?
No decent co-main event either?
Sean Shrek in the preliminaries?
3rd out of 4 UFC events without a title fight?
This card does disappoint as far as overall name value goes. You have to be a hardcore fan to really recognize anybody but Rashad and Sherk. I'm not disappointed by this card, I think most of the fights will be very exciting. I am a bit suprised to see Sherk in a prelim with his name value, but I guess his recent performances do deserve it.
Why are you all acting like you have been living in hibernation for the last few months..This wasnt the original card and it is about to get worse as gg and jds's fight is off
Its still the traditional UFC Year End Show, I know typically its been actually at the end of the year and not the beginning of another but its there big blockbuster card that is usually stacked.
Not bad card itself, but compared to previous "yeard end cards" this is prolly the worst one by far. Then again, the card last year was crazier than ufc 100 card, so with this many injuries it was expected that we wont be seeing a card that is able to beat it this year.
With that being said I don't mind this card. UFN is pretty close to it anyway so I'll get an extra doze of mma from that. Basically Im just hoping that they'll show Sherk's fight too and the card is pretty solid then.
If Martin Kampmann and Sean Sherk were on the main card, it would be decent. If you think this card is amazing, I'd hate to see one you think is bad. :confused02:
I like the card too, but I hope it's just not going to be four main card fights...but mainly, I want to throw my support behind Rashad Evans, a stand up dude with a good heart. I am looking to see him take out Silva, a difficult opponent, and start movin' back up that ladder.
This card needs a good co-main event, and another solid fight
Thiago-Rashad= excited for that
Daley-Condit= should be good, I mean it could be over in a couple min if Condit gets it on the ground. Hopefully Daley worked on some take down defense.
J. Miller -Griffin- half decent fight, hopefully Griffin can continue his short streak of finishing fight.
I was thinking how about Velasquez vs Dos Santos that would be a heck of a fight and another good fight was thinking maybe Carwin vs Velasquez but I think thats out of the question.
I like the card, nice way to start off the year. Since both Silva and Evans lost by knock out to Machida, this one could be FOTN. I got Silva KOing Rashad in the 2. They definitely need to add one more fight to the main card though.
This card really sucks. JDS vs Yvel will be FOTN and Thiago vs Rashad should be great and help clear up LHW. Besides that I'm still upset that they're feeding JDS a UFC nobody (even though Yvel is a great addition to the UFC and a very talented fighter), and I hate the Condit vs Daley fight and I've always been bored to tears with Tyson Griffin.
Where the hell is Grey Maynard? And why is nobody else relevant on this card?
I think that Silva was put to sleep worse but Rashad was definitely funnier due to the fact that he was saying Machida doesn't hit hard enough as Machida knocked him out!
Man cant wait to see one of my favs Hazelett to fight again why is not on the official UFC card.I met him at a b dubs really nice and humble and had a convo with me and my brother everyone knew he was a fighter but werent that excited I had liked him every since seeing him on prelim of 67
Evans is much better all around, Silva is overrated imo, got way to much props for beating the can jardine who was perfectly tailored to stand there and get cracked. Evans will move, counter, take him to the ground and wear him out. Looks like any easy win for Evans.
This card kinda sucks. No title bouts and the fights that are there really aren't very interesting. Its kind of regretable. I do look forward to seeing Rashad in action again though...
