    Pay-Per-View Line-Up:
    -Fedor Emelianenko vs. Andrei Arlovski
    -Josh Barnett vs. Gilbert Yvel
    -Matt Lindland vs. Vitor Belfort
    -Renato “Babalu” Sobral vs. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou
    -Chris Horodecki vs. Dan Lauzon
    -Paul Buentello vs. Kiril “Baby Fedor” Sidelnikov


    HDNet Line-Up:
    -Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
    -Jay Hieron vs. Jason High
    -Mark Hominick vs. L.C. Davis
    -Antonio Duarte vs. Albert Rios
    -Brett Cooper vs. Patrick Speight



    Nice line up. I'm kind of excited to see Sidelnikov. I wanna see what this guy has to offer. He is pretty ruthless in the ring just like Fedor and Alex. Very calm. Buentello would be a great test for him too.
    Sobral-Sokodjou is ok but with Soko losing the hype its not that interesting anymore. Sobral via sub IMO.
    Lindland - Belford, on paper looks good but it's gona be a boring fight. Dunno hows Belford been recovering. Lindland has looked like **** in his last fight.

    Barnett vs Yvel is an intriguing match. Yvel should give Josh hell in the standup game - but Barnett will hook a submission on the ground.

    Rogerio and Matyushenko is pretty interesting, I think Vlad takes it, he has developed into a damn good LHW.

    I'd rather see Emelianenko against Barnett. But Arlovski is a great test for Fedor. I'm definitely looking forward to that fight. Babalu and Soko should also be kinda interesting. Soko has fallen off lately.

    This card is very attractive it pisses me off I dont have the money to buy all 4 of these sick MMA PPVs in less then one month but ill try to buy 2 of them. This is making me consider it very hard Fedor vs Arlovski ive been calling for years,theres the chance Vitor pulls off a brutal KO and Barnett does serious damage to scumbag Yvel.

    Ever heard of sports bars? It's a cool concept, basically they have a bar with bunch of TVs and for boxing and MMA events they buy them and show them to attract more people. You don't have to pay to get in or anything. :hi:

    Yea, but someone like myself woud drink alot more then what the ppv would cost so it wouldn't be a money saver, I've been getting 4-6 friends over for years now and 10 bucks or less is worth it and have a good time with friends.

    I've always thought AA would be a great match up for Fedor, it seems the bookies have no faith in AA, but with those odds i'll take Arlovski. I think Arlovski can give Fedor hell and just for fun I will even pic him in an avatar bet....assuming i get odds of course.

    Well, thats just your own fault :p.

    Yea, that's what I used to do until people started figuring out that I'm not asking for money(just the way i am). So they stopped giving me any. GG friends.
