outside of bj vs joe daddy this fight card looks like shit. the ufc wouldn’t get a fuckin wooden dime out of me for this card! i’d like to see joe daddy beat bj, but do you think i’m going to pay for a card to one exciting light weight fight?

ima pick GG to win.also pick bj to win if its in the early rounds and joe daddy in the later rounds.dont know how bj cardio is now but he use to gas out.dropping his hands and not stuffing take downs.should be an exciting fight though

[quote comment="205015"]Does anyone know if this “interim” title fight will be five rounder?

If it is, I would think it benefits Stevenson. Stevenson has granite for a jaw, and Penn has always been dogged because of his conditioning.[/quote]

It sure should be, I am 99.999999999% sure that it will be.

[quote comment="205064"][quote comment="205053"]Seems like a weak card to me. I would love to watch Penn though. Is anybody gonna pay for this?[/quote]
A weak card? There are only two fights on it so far. How about we wait to see what the other six fights turn out to be.[/quote]

But this looks like it is the ‘official’ promo poster. That would mean that Penn/Stevenson is the main event, and Gonzaga/Werdum is the ‘featured bout’ which will be right before the main event.

[quote comment="204877"]Why does england get the title fights..and Ny/Nj gets bisping vs Rashad as a main event?[/quote]

p.s.. Sorry you get Bisbing.. that sucks, but at least you get to boo him (Which will SO happen) and see him get whooped into the 185 division.

On another note… it is a pretty decent card no title fight aside.

I was thinking the same thing, 5 rounder kind of rough for penn, and a three rounder very rough for stevenson.

The win-loss records on UFC.com are suspect, at best. How is Gonzaga 8-1 if he already lost to Werdum once and just lost to Randy Couture in his last fight? That is two losses right there.
