This is so ****ing stupid I'm pissed at the UFC look at this why is Swick fighting Okami and Macdonald fighting Franklin? That's so incredibly WRONG it's ridiculous!! Why do they have to do this shit to us? We're not stupid. We know who should be fighting who and that is NOT who MacDonald should be fighting and NOT who Swick should be fighting. Anyone with a brain knows they should be switched.
At least they got Kampmann vs. McFedries on. I doubt we'll get to see it on PPV though. That sucks cuz that will be a crazy war. So what weight is this gonna be at? Cuz Kampmann is a MW and McFedries is a LHW.

I agree. I think it should be Franklin v Swick and Okami v MacDonald, but MacDonald has been so unbeatable in his last two fights and Franklin looked so bad against Silva that I understand that matchups a little bit better.
As for Okami v Swick, I see the logic there too. It almost looks like this could be a tournament bracket. The winner of Okami/Swick and Franklin/MacDonald fight and whoever wins gets a shot at Silva. Any thoughts on that?
As for Kampmann v McFedries, I really just want to see Kampmann kick some more ass. He came into his last fight as an unfairly toted underdog and he kicked the crap out of his opponent. I just want to see McFedries get whupped, but it'll be a better fight then that. As far as the weight, I have no clue. Kampmann is skinny at 185, so I don't think he would naturally fight to much heavier than that. I can see McFedries pretty easily losing some pounds and coming down to 185, cause he's not that big at 205. Stilly, not that sure.
Yea it would make the most sense for Drew to come down. I'll be rootin for Kampmann. Do you all remember me and Evil telling you to keep your eye on this guy. He's gonna be a contender very shortly and sneak up on Silva. Kampmann has a better striking background than Silva, just don't know if his kickboxing training will be effective against the clinch. Hopefully he's been practicing cuz I'll give him another year and he'll be fighting for the title.
Good post BTW, it kind of makes sense to give Swick Okami but then again Swick deserves to fight Rich more than MacDonald. I mean Okami is good and all but he is most definately not a step up from the crow. Swick deserves the chance to prove himself again, he's undefeated in like 5 or 6 UFC fights and MacDonald is just starting out.

While Swickk has more fights in the UFC, MacDonald has beaten two guys as an underdog. Not only did he beat them, he demolished them. MacDonald has looked nothing short of invincible in his last two fights. I don't know how that will turn out against Franklin, but if he comes in with that kind of performance I expect him to pull out another win.
I think that, according to the numbers Swick deserves the fight, but he didn't have as good a showing against Loiseau as the UFC might have expected. The UFC makes the point that if you want a title shot you have to finish your opponents, not just win decisions, and that's what Swick did.
The UFC clearly expects Swick to smash Okami. I don't know if he will, but I expect one of these two guys to knock the other one out. Either way, this will be a good matchup.
Is MacDonald ranked #1 among Canadian middleweights yet? If he's not I'd be very surprised. He decimated Herman and Leben, so I don't know where that puts him. Starnes shouldn't be up there any more, and I don't think Loiseau is #1 either. Anyway, if he keeps destroying opponents he should be in line for a title shot.
This still looks to be a good card, alot of good fighters that night.... What upsets me is I definitly want to see Crocop beat Tim, but that wont happen if Randy takes the belt, hmm....
