Ufc 108

I'm hyped for this card now but it took me a while to get there.

Evans vs Silva has been promoted to main event. Remember it was supposed to be Silva vs Belfort then Nate vs Henderson but now this is the main event.

Daley strikes me as another sub standard Brit being promoted as something he is not. Like Hardy and even Bisping they are losers but hopefully they can improve enough to put their losses behind them.

Yvel is another replacement and not a huge fight but a good fight. Exciting match up. Not one of his wins has ever gone the distance.

Ultimately its a card full of exciting match ups between contenders but other than Rashad vs Silva (which was once an undercard fight) it hasn't really got the huge names to justify a PPV. A mainstream fan would need to be educated about all the fighters except the main event.

 

The fights should be entertaining but I just wont pay for it ill go to a local bar.

 

This has been the most injury riddled card in the history of the UFC. There is a few decent fights but i'm sure it will do low ppv numbers.

 

PPV numbers will be very low for this one, though Rashad v Silva should be a very exciting fight - both fighters with only 1 loss on there record and both to Machida I think this will be a very good fight.

 

I like Daley. He will never be great but he has it in him to pull off the odd surprise.

 

good fight but not that meaningful

 

Sam Stout is always entertaining.Good card.

 

Fairly standard card from a casual fan perspective. Im sure the experts know better so I'll be keeping an eye out.

I hope Rashad gets ktfo.

 

You can add Lesnar vs Carwin to that list.

 

The fight I want to see is Dos Santos vs Yvel. Dos has been stopping everyone so far and has looked good doing it.

 

I've lost count of which fights have fallen through. I think each UFC card lined up has had numerous fallouts.

 

You can see all the fights that have fallen through in this thread - UFC 108 is cursed.

I've never seen a card so plagued by injuries.

Even UFC 85 wasn't this bad.

 

Achilles mate your comments regarding Paul Daley are more than reasonable. He is a good, powerful striker (As you will already be aware) but he is vulnerable to submissions (And he's fighting a submissions expert in Hazelett!). As you rightly say Rogan and the rest of the UFC boys have this hype train full of coal and on greased tracks!! In fact when they were first referring to Daley, it was only by his nickname that I realised it was the same guy i've seen fight in Britain's "Cage Rage"!! He looked good against Kampmann and he definitely has a "Puncher's chance" in almost any fight, the thing is the top echelon fighters will be aware of his vulnerability to submissions and will act accordingly! He has also dropped a few decisions which does indicate that "Semtex" loses his explosiveness after round 1 (Forgive the terrible pun, but you know how it is with us Brits and our so-called "Humour"). I would like to see Daley fight Hardy and I would favour Daley in that match-up (Koscheck is right, Dan Hardy is considered by some to be the #1 contender? WTF!! Mind you, I rather enjoy Hardy's "Trash" and it was hilarious to watch him get under skin of Marcus Davies and his entire camp!!). Paul Daley aside (Who I will be cheering on!) I am looking forward to Saturday!
