Plus Marquardt vs Palhares and Florian vs Maynard. On paper this is shaping up to be one of the best PPVs of the year. http://www.sherdog.com/news/news/Edgar-Penn-2-Couture-Toney-Official-for-UFC-118-25172 UFC 118 Edgar vs. Penn 2 Saturday, Aug. 28 TD Garden Boston UFC Lightweight Championship Frankie Edgar vs. B.J. Penn Randy Couture vs. James Toney Nate Marquardt vs. Rousimar Palhares Kenny Florian vs. Gray Maynard Jorge Rivera vs. Alessio Sakara Joe Lauzon vs. Terry Etim Andre Winner vs. Nik Lentz Nick Osipczak vs. Greg Soto Mike Pierce vs. Amilcar Alves * Phil Baroni vs. John Salter
My only regret is that local boy John "Doomsday" Howard won't be on the bill, since he's appearing on UFC Live: Jones vs. Matyushenko earlier in August. I think he'd said he really hoped to fight in Boston. My ticket is still all but paid for. It should be fun. :good
I disagree with Couture-Toney happening but once I accept its happening you gotta say hey this is pretty dam intriguing. A world class wrestler vs a world class boxer and the fight does start out on its feet so there is a chance for Toney so you do have to have some kind of exictment type of feeling going in because anything truely can happen in MMA. Im exicted for Penn vs Edgar II. I didnt think BJ was in the best shape and I dont think he stepped it up when he needed to win that fight. I think if BJ steps up his game then Frankie has to step up his game and we could have one hell of a fight. Im never exicted to see Gray Maynard fight because hes kinda boring but Kenny Florian ALWAYS produces his fights are always entertaining and Gray can just move around and pot shot KenFlo likes hes did recent opponets. Ken will make Gray fight and I cant wait to see what happens. Rivera vs Sakara is AWESOME someone is getting KTFO IMO. Nate vs Palhares now thats another great fight 2 of the elite at 185 fighting in a a very important bout. Nate's developed into a great striker but Palhares aint afraid to bang his chin is iron and hes very strong he might get the fight to the mat and with him hes always dangerous. Ill be ordering this event for sure.
Baroni id hope so but Rivera has won 3 UFC fights in a row id think even after a loss he gets one more.
Etim-Lauzon and Florian- Maynard are the fight i like beside from the main event. Penn-Edgar 2 :good Couture-Toney is a joke but overall it has pretty good fight card
