[quote comment=”295010″]Cote will either fight Alan Belcher or Rees (whoever he is). Not the marquee match up that I was expecting.[/quote]

I think Belcher would make a decent matchup…he likes to bang so it would be a stand up war and probably wouldn’t last too long. There are so many middleweights on this card that I wish they would rotate them around for some better matchups.

Franklin vs Cote
Bisping vs Herman
Maia vs Lutter

Now those are some quality matchups with the same fighters on the card. I’m getting a little annoyed with the UFC trying to bring too many fighters along slowly that they think they can market. Lets see the fights the fans want to see for a change instead of trying to showcase the TUF fighters or former champs.

First off martin kampann was never in line to fight anderson silva. he was gonna fight rich franklin but he got hurt and okami took his place.

cote will probably fight jorge rivera or alen belcher.

I should have looked on the UFC site first….seems like MMAMANIA.com is my 1st choice.

UFC have sold 13000 presale tickets to this event in one day. The rest are going for sale to the public. This is what they said on the radio today so I am not sure if it is confirmed but I know people were picking up tickets in a hurry.

Not bad for day’s sales eh?

another 10 fight card maybe all pay per views will have them now, i don’t know who he would fight right now, maybe jorge rivera?? or kendell grove but i doubt it. so the 5 fights on the main card has to be gsp, sam stout fight, franklin, ed herman fight and the 5th being bisping or the cote fight

My fault, I forgot the skinny ass apologizing after every fight lately Mike Swick dropped to 170. I would say Cote vs Kampman for number 1 contendership but I don’t know if Kampman is still injured.

Lutter is the only person to take it to the Spider Silva in the UFC?? He wasn’t in good condition though for some reason, and couldn’t make weight?

I know how people can forget about it, but i think it’ll be cool to see if he can take it to Franklin [if hes in shape, and makes weight this time]

As for the last fight there, My man Hands of Stone Stout will have his hands full !!!! I think its all round pretty good card… especially with all the Canadian fighters =p

AND the ALL CANADIAN matchup: i think the Athlete will beat up old Joe… who knows. Should be a fun night, as of late there have been many surprises and upsets. I don’t think its about the names anymore— its pure action with all the talent floating around now =p
