Yes Amir, they put crappy PPV shows together on purpose, and its all because of me! How did you know?!?! What a d-bag you are. “Experts” call this card one of the best in a while, and so do people who make a living talking, writing, and analyzing this stuff. Not to mention the people who are involved in the UFC. Just because you didnt know who Fitch was before this, or think that Huerta is overhyped just because he was on the cover of SI, doesnt mean you have to try to sound smart by picking it apart. I will pay for this, and i wont regret it.

Ya i was watching this Interview with Wandy and he was talking about how Tyson needs to get a title shot. Wandy has also been training Demian Maia for his fight this weekend.

can someone please define “real fan” for me, i just need to know if im faking it or not lol. if you watch fights and enjoy them and hope to watch more fights i would call you a fan. if you like football and the Cowboys are your favorite team your not expected to buy tickets to a Steelers vs. Colts game and it doesnt make you any less of a fan, but a lot of hardcore MMA fans act all snobby if you dont watch every fight and know every fighter, and that sucks. lets just build the sport up and not rip on everyone who didnt see UFC 1 in 1993. i urge you all to buy every MMA card that you can, why? because it helps build the sport i love, am i going to treat you like sh*t if you dont? nope, but i will try and let you know you missed a good one.

yeah man thats pretty well the way i see it going to. Lesnar vs. Kongo would be a good match for Brock, McCully or Coleman would be ok for Lesnar. but i think Heath has a great ground defense and is to well rounded and thats why i think we’ll see Lesnar spending more time tying to defend him self as opposed to him imposing him self, and i fully see Lesnar taking a hard one in the lips and having a little freak out moment and going for the desperation shot and getting cough in a choke.

So its Sherk vs Tyson Griffin at UFC 90.. DAM.. theyre really throwing him to the wolves man. Hes been climbing the division fighting tough guys so he deserves a big name fight, but what a bad matchup for Tyson.

Sherk is just better than Tyson at every one of Tysons main strengths. He cant outwrestle Sherk, he sure as hell cant out cardio Sherk, especially in a 3 round fight. I dont see how Tyson can win this fight..

Sucks bigtime, he would have done so much better against someone like Huerta, or even Kenny or BJ, atleast he might get lucky, but i think Sherk is the WORST possible matchup for Tyson..

Alright there “Newbie”,

So I suppose your a “real” fight fan, huh? based on your condesending tone, I prefer to call you a chump rather than a real fan, but hey…some people like wasting their money. BTW, I didn’t say I wasn’t going to watch it, I just said I was not going to pay for it.
The way I see it is, the more success a crappy PPV like this gets from a knucklehead like you, the more crappy PPVs we all have to deal with in the future. (Ex. Bisping/Leben)

based on Bisping/Evans

*And if you actually chose to READ what I wrote, you would see that I did make mention of the lightweights, but I just don’t think it’s a PPV caliber fight…so do us all a favor and pay attention next time before you make asenine accusations of anyone here.

Nah Mallot, i agree with Amir, it IS a sub par fightcard. Ofcourse ill be watching it, but theres really only 3 fights that are even remotely interesting. What im looking forward to here is Kenny vs Huerta and i believe that Kenny will get the submission victory, hes just been so amazing lately.

Well Amir, sounds like you arent really sure what you want. You dont want the one because it will be technical and a “chess match”, you dont want the other because it will be “sloppy” and “toughman competition”, so what do you want?

Did you also know that Huerta and Florian are fighting?

I think the GSP fight looks good. Im also anxious to see if Lesnar can show some good improvements. And the Florian/Huerta fight has the ability to be a fight of the year.

You can sit this one out Amir, let the real fans buy this PPV.

RJ im with you 100% bro, i say Herring all the way. Heres why..

Lesnar has wrestling and NOTHING else, hes strong, but his strength only applys to wrestling, it doesnt translate into a heavy handed striker. From the kind of GnP he displayed against Mir, its obvious he still has a LOOONG way to go. So he can get a takedown and essentially try and pin Herring, but i dont think theres any way he can win the fight except for a decision.

Herring has striking skills man and Lesnar still hasnt fought a striker. On top of that, he already KNOWS that all Lesnar is gonna do is shoot for a takedown and its alot easier to defend something when you know whats coming. Will he out-wrestle Lesnar? ofcourse not, but i think he will eventually connect on Lesnars face, possibly a knee or a short hook.

We havent seen Lesnar get hit in the face and i believe were going to see it in this fight. LESNAR WILL GET THE JITTERS!! no not because of the cameras or the people, but because hes in a FIGHT. I see Lesnar getting clocked and panicking, getting stunned for a few seconds allowing Herring to rain blows on him and get the stoppage. Then Lesnar will get up saying hes not hurt (which he probably wont be) but he still loses because of inexperience..
