Yes i know, after listening to your breakdown i was on the massenzio bandwagon then i saw him come out to the cage on crutches and an ace bandage wrapped from his angle to his hip.

Thats why i am saying if i see edgar get carried out to the cage during his entrance i know it is a sign.

Oh. Yeah, I would agree myself.

Hey Massenzio is still a contender. He just didn't do himself favors in 1 fight. I believe he is under contract for 2 more.

PJ - I was thinking this was on the Philly card - so brain fart.

I remember it being 8 fights and I didn't realize it changed until recently when I thought they listed too many fights in error.

I used to always download the unaired fights, but I haven't been doing that anymore.

Looks like they switched from 8 to 9 fights starting at ufc 57.

Cool - although I wouldn't have noticed that. But 12 really stood out. Wonder there motive, good thing for us of course. they have so many guys to use with all TUF seasons

Definitely a good thing, 8 fights is weak. I am looking forward to tomorrows fights, its not the best fight card ever but it has some intriguing fights. Im gonna do my pre fight write ups now.

They've always had that over boxing. boxing was about a main event which could very well flop. The recently UFC cards also seem to have more fights I care about than ones a year ago or so.

**p-jersey** · 05-22-2009, 11:09 PM

yea, boxing is definitely not worth the 50 bucks. With teh ufc I know i am going to see at least 5 fights and generaly two or three are pretty meaningful.

I think Joe Silva has done a better job lately at creating good match ups even if they are not the biggest names.

The next 3 or 4 events have some good main and co main events.

UFC 100
Lesnar vs.Mir
GSP vs. Alves
Henderson vs. Bisping

UFC 101
Penn vs. Florian
Griffin vs. Silva

UFC 102
Nog vs. Couture
Marquardt vs. Maia
Hamill vs. Vera
Jardine vs. T Silva

UFC 99 is a good card overall but doesnt have a great main event.
Franklin vs. Silva
Velasquez vs. Kongo
The return of cro cop

Some good style matchups that should be exciting fights with Uno vs. Fisher, Marcus Davis vs. Dan Hardy (beat Gono, ko markham), and Swick vs. Saunders.

Actually, I think Franklin - Silva is a great main event.

That's a classic Pride - UFC matchup, 2 former champs.

And although I think Franklin was afraid of ASilva in the rematch, I give him all the respect in the world now - he's in limbo regarding the title, and he gets no easy nights in the cage
