[quote post="3769"]Rivera competed on season four of TUF. He is an Octagon veteran with seven fights inside the eight-sided cage (4-4).[/quote]

Ooops. 7 fights with a record of 4-4?

[quote comment="203414"]It is scary to think about that Grove could one day step in the cage with Franklin. The way things are shaken down with the 185’s, Franklin will be the gate keeper of the top contenders. Tough role for an ex-champ.[/quote]

Actually, the gatekeeper to a division is often times the former champ that isn’t quite himself anymore. I.E. Tito Ortiz being the gatekeeper to the LHW division.

[quote comment="203760"][quote comment="203558"] Then again, prolly wont be many other intriguing fights on this card due to the hype with the co main event.[/quote]

Main Event:

BJ Penn (11-4-1) vs. Joe Stevenson (28-7) for the interim UFC Lightweight Championship

Undercard:

Hvywt.: Gabriel Gonzaga (8-2) vs. Fabricio Werdum (9-3-1)
170 lbs.: Marcus Davis (13-3) vs. Jess Liaudin (12-8)*
155 lbs.: Sam Stout (12-3-1) vs. Terry Etim (10-1)*
185 lbs.: Kendall Grove (8-4) vs. Jorge Rivera (14-6)*

What is the co-main event? That’s the rumored card so far, but I don’t see anything else that has “main event” status other than the LW title fight between BJ and Joe Stevenson.[/quote]

I was wondering the same thing. BJ Penn is the ONLY big name on the card. You would really think that after the aquisiton of PRIDE that we would start getting good events with big name fights month to month. But obviously, that is not the case.

Yeah, maybe he’s thinking of UFC 79.

[quote comment="203792"][quote comment="203558"]I never really say this… but who cares? The UFC is trying to promote Grove to be a popular fighter… put him against Rivera who isnt a ‘bad’ fighter but really hasnt done much in the Octagon. If it makes the main card, I’ll be REALLY surprised… Then again, prolly wont be many other intriguing fights on this card due to the hype with the co main event.[/quote]
hey, i agree[/quote]
what a bunch of lame ass wannabe’s let’s get down to the meat of the matter. Pick the best 8 no weight class, winner take all, just like the good old day’s, the stuff that made us look. I’ts turned into boxing with way too many contenders.
