    Will take place in Atlanta on September 6th. The main event is Chuck Liddel vs Rashad Evans. Disappointed in the main event as I was hoping they would match up Chuck with someone like Machida. The main event is simliar to the one for UFC 86. :-(

    Liddel-Evans was already scheduled, but Liddel pulled out due to his hamstring injury.

    I'm not excited about this fight. Evans has a chance, but I don't think their styles will blend well.

    If nothing else it will put Evans to the back of the bus.

    I think the winner of this fight should fight machida and the winner of that fight should get the title shot

    To be honest Machida-Liddell would have had a high likelyhood of being 3 rounds of circling and feinting. I think Thiago Silva - Machida is both a better fight entertainment wise and better for the division because the winner of that deserves a title shot right away.

    Kind of wish it would be Liddell - Shogun as that was the original fight, then Shogun got hurt and he was replaced with Rashad.

    It's not a "horrible" main event, but it's definitely one that requires a strong undercard to make the whole thing worth paying for.

    Looks like Henderson vs Palhares is going to be on this card. Looking forward to see how Toquinho does against a fighter like Henderson.

    That should be intresting Palhares BJJ looks sick but Henderson should be able to keep it standing and land that big right. Its been awhile I miss the old Henderson right :!:

    I hope they pack out the undercard for this one like they did the last one. Hopefully us Brits will see it for free.
