I'm sure certain people would find reason to complain even if the card did wind up looking like that.

I'd figured maybe they'd hold Anderson v. Yushin off to like 90 with the info coming out that 89 would be a free card with 90 coming a week later.

If this is the case though, I certainly won't be complaining.

If Rashad didn't look so boring in his last two fights, I would probably rank this is one of their best cards ever. I thought more highly of him going into the Tito fight than I do now. I think he will back up most of the fight and it will be a boring 3 rounder. The other 3 of the top 4 are very good; I think Franklin-Hamill and Henderson-Palhares are very exciting.

Agreed, I highly doubt Silva will be on this card. There wont be a many main event options for UFC 90 and it will give him a longer recovery time from the Irvin fight.

All Rashad really does is set up a highlight reel KO for Chuck. Rashad is a grappler primarily, and we all heard ad nauseum what Chuck did to "only grapplers" before he fought Wanderlei last year.

They want Anderson to fight one more time this year, possibly on the year end card, so they'd probably prefer to give him an earlier fight and let him recover to fight in December.
