Dan Henderson "im ganna kick his ass" how does silva react by laughing which was to cover up his fear Dan henderson is definitely in Silvas head and I think when he steps into the octogon with dan he will be scared of the possibility of losing his belt.

Its always been 9 fights per card now this has 10 the upcoming fight night has a forcast of 12 bouts. Dana and the fratietas realize that the circumstances of randy, fedor, possibly arlovski if he has another boor fest, mirko cro cop, and the upstart of Dream is not good for the UFC. So they react like any good business model should by giving the customer exactly what they want and more of it by putting on incredible fight cards inculding this one and all the others in the forseeable future. Not only that but advertising these great cards aggressively. 2 years ago ufc fans were aware of the upcoming ufc and maybee some of the bouts on the very next card but now ufc fans know nearly every fight card that will take place up to june of this year. So even if your pissed off about ppv prices going up or upset about the ufc not willing to release randy without a fight or you dislike dana for his antics or any other reason for that matter. The mma fan cant help but to be a supporter of the ufc wether they like it or not. The UFC is mounting a major offensive to crush whatever competition there may be.
