Kid is too stron for Nate. He will probably do the same thing to nate that he did ti Jorge. Gray Maynard is my favorite LW. Hes so explosive, has great wrestling, and KO power. hes gonna be a force soon. Swick by KO. Hes too long for Burkman. I dont see why everyone thinks Cote is gonna KO Drew. Ive seen McFedries take some serious shots from Sakara and Kampman and not even get phased by them. Drew is gonna KO Cote.

swick vs gsp early 09, (although, i think gsp would end his carrer at 170 and he would have to try and make 155) lol

[quote comment=”277748″]wow, swick looks great. he shouldve been at 170 all along[/quote]

Yeah he looks huge frame wise at 170. He’s going to have some serious reach on the vast majority of welterweights.

Kendall Grove has a weak chin? He got hit about on the button against Cote, and Rivera hit him in the head about 20 times! Anyone would hit the mat from that. You bloggers…

[quote comment=”277488″]sorry off topic but I just got my tickets for the Ultimate Fight Night 13 in Colorado today, and since it’ll be my first time going to a UFC event, do you get to meet the fighters? and if you do is it some kind of meet and greet event or can you meet them at the weigh ins? anyone whose been to a UFC event if you could tell me that would be great.

thanks[/quote]

Unfortunately, I don’t know for sure, but I’d assume that there will be some sort of meet and greet at the event.

That’s a pretty sweet lineup for an Ultimate Fight Night card. Should be a good time.

[quote comment=”277712″]If Swick wins this opening fight at 170 I feel like he and Marcus Davis should square off next… It makes sense because they are both fighting around the same time (similar recovery period), and both fighters want tough competition…

I’d agree with that. Or I’d set up a Swick/Diego, Davis/Koscheck or vice versa matchups. I think all of these guys will be having their next fights around the same time. (After UFC 82, that is). So, any way they match up those 4 guys is cool with me.

am i the only one that thinks stephens will kick cole millers ass, and i think cote is finally on track he was doing damn good against doerksen and got caught, alot of ppl tought he won against leben (not me), and lutters just straight ass rapped him in the ground but, hes a tough mofo, he will come in and bang with mcfedries and i think cote will get the best of the exchanges and put drew to sleep. also robinson will overpower and expose diaz. abd Tavares will reign supreme. swick and burkman i think might go to decision, both guys have taken damage and havent been knoced out recently, i give the wrestling edge to burkman but the ground game to swick and standing it kinda even classic speed vs power burkman will get the takedown and pound away alil bit and swick will get back up other than that i see a decision. mmmm swick

[quote comment=”277299″]I am tired of all the critics about the cards and Dana. The fights are all great and this card is no exception. Dana is running a business and nobody runs one without some fork in the road.[/quote]

Based on the card, the last PPV should’ve sucked - but they were great fights! I think we still struggle to differentiate between good fights and good fighters. Two no-names can put on a great show while stars can put on a snoozer (like Koscheck vs. Sanchez, Wedrum vs. Arlovski, Vera vs. Sylvia, etc.). I don’t think anyone can predict whether a card will have good fights, no matter how good or bad the matchups look on paper.
