Main Card Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Cain Velasquez Michael Bisping vs. Wanderlei Silva George Sotiropoulos vs. Joe Stevenson Ryan Bader vs. Keith Jardine Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic vs. Ben Rothwell Prelims Chris Haseman vs. Elvis Sinosic Stephan Bonnar vs. Krzysztof Soszynski Brian Foster vs. Chris Lytle C.B. Dollaway vs. Goran Reljic Igor Pokrajac vs. James Te Huna http://uk.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=eventDetail.Home&eid=2629 It's not great, but I still think it's a decent card. Good solid main event, must win fights for Wand and Cro Cop and a big (and difficult) opportunity for Sotiropoulos. Also nice to see Reljic back in action.
hope bonnar wins and i never liked joe stevenson, in his interviews he talks like hes in the p4p list or hes a ex champ or some ****. if crop cop cant beat Rothwell then i dunno man, it might be time to hang em up.
I think it looks like a really good card. A lot of tight match-ups near the top. Really looking forward to the Georgie-Stevenson fight.
Jardine is due an upset Like D-Mac im looking forward to Sotiropoulos i don't think he will beat Stevenson but he is going to give him a good fight. Was Akiyama not on the bill at some point
If Bader is intelligent, he WONT lose the fight. The man is the BEST wrestler in the division. A great athlete and he has power in his hands, he is crude but very young. I hope his knee injury didnt slow him down. He can't lose to someone like Jardine.
This is a serious card. Nog vs Cain is interesting. Cain has battered the striker in Kongo, took down the big guy in Rothwell and now he's fighting the submission expert. Can he avoid all those subs? Cain has stamina, good wrestling and okay striking. He can win every second but when you are facing a tough guy who can lock any move on you, he is always dangerous... ...ask Tim if you don't believe me!
I like his chances, provided he doesn't go out "stand and bang" with Jardine; he could possibly knock Jardine out, but he stands a much better chance of doing it in the context of mixing things up rather than just playing Jardines game the whole fight. Both HW fights are pretty interesting; Cain vs Nog is huge in terms of the title picture and Rothwell vs CroCop is just interesting style wise and to see where CroCop is at. Dolloway vs Reljic is also a good matchup.
Damn, I see lots a giving Cain a chance. If the Nog that fought Randy shows up, Cain has no chance whatsoever, standing or on the ground. Very good card btw
Cain has a chance and a very good one. Looking good against a smaller 46yrold and going against a young gun like Cain is a different story. I'm picking Cain.
:thumbsup I think this is a very good card namewise. CC just needs to call it a day though. Mentally i dont think he has it anymore taking into account his recent performances. Will be good to see what Nog really has left along with Wandy. Almost looks like an old PRIDE show..
Can't wait for this card. Really hope Nog can go out there and win convincingly, but it looks like a great fight. I hope Bisping does well but he's getting knocked out and I odn't mind seeing Wanderlei knock people out, interesting fight. Also really looking forward to Bader - Jardine. I'm dissapointed Kim has pulled out of another card with injury, I was really looking forward to seeing him against Lytle.
