I respect Lutter generally for being a fighter and accomplished Ju-Jitsu guy, but I don't respect the way he fights. I think by the signings of CroCop and Rampage, the UFC is trying to ultimately veer away from a recent period of boring PPVs (prior to 66), embarrasing performances by it's heavyweight "champion" and Fight Nights along with a very boring TUF season. These new guys are international stars and are a force to be reckoned with, not fighters who take a guy down, keep position and wait for a judge's decision. I'm glad that management is actively seeking to bring in guys with real KO power, which everyone knows...is what everyone wants to see. I don't think the UFC can depend on a guy like Lutter or Serra to be theyr'e marketable champion. Tim Sylvia's clock is ticking and he will surely be gone very soon, I don't see Franklin regaining his belt from Silva, Hughes will get his rematch with GSP but will fail again. Of course, these are my predictions but...I just think the new guys have completley leap-frogged skill wise over the former champions.

If you wanna compare fights, then eastman already has a win over rampage. That doesnt make him the favorite, but it also doesnt mean hes a nobody. Were talking about an old guy man, and really i dunno wat kinda shape rampage is in these days. dont count out Eastman! or Lutter, they can both win their fights man.. although theyre the underdogs, theyre both crazy fighters. Eastman might let rampage gas out then catch him with something. If lutter can take silva down, its a whole different game, think about that to all the doubters. They may just surprise you. For matt serra to win would be a BIG upset, cuz man.. hes a small guy, and GSP is too well rounded, but still.. you never know, it IS a fight after all.. you cant say whos gonna win based on who they beat previously, you need to match the fighter up based on skill, tenacity, age, things liek that.

I guess he really shouldn't have any problems eventually making 205lb. Rampage will demolish Eastman. Didn't Eastman get knocked out by Lutter? That doesn't say much about the guy if even Travis Lutter can knock him out. If I remember correctly, it was a phantom punch that barely even grazed his chin. They have CroCop listed at 218lb.

I know he fought and destroyed Mir, but I had no idea he was fighting Sylvia next. Is that confirmed? I thought his whole idea was to make 205 @ Chucky boy. Dr. J,

Also, Brandon Vera is going to fight Tim Syliva at UFC 68. He last fought at UFC 65 in November against Frank Mir. Not that long ago... Amir,
