    You'd have to imagine that seeing the #1 P4P in the world would be enough to garner 250K on its own...although Cote-Silva may have left a poor taste in some people's mouths.

    97 is just as bad, the saving grace is to see a fighter of Silvas stature

    I am actually glad that Dana keeps putting out cards like these, there is no way to go but down. I want to see Le vs. Lawler, I dont care if I wait 6 months.

    Penn/GSP was as big as theyre going to get in the next couple of years unless they bring Fedor to fight Brock.

    Why do you think theyre milking Liddell and Randy?? There is nothing.

    Picture UFC 100

    Rashad vs. Jardine
    HAzelett vs. Fitch as the co main event.

    It's funny you would have thought that they would have made the **** card UFC 95. I mean forget that the main event is **** but the card is very good. Some good scraps there.

    since it's free i can't complain too much just after a free UFN. They have been puting a lot of cards on lately and it's hard to keep every card stacked.

    Its free its ok, If its PPV they should stack it even if they have to wait every 3 months to put out one.

    Matchups are pretty easy, its not like these fighters are all undefeated, treat them as they do in K1, if they havent fought, put them together even if both have come off loses. Styles makes fights.

    I dont understand milking fighters who has 3 years at the most to go in this sport. Put Diego against Sherk, MAia against Hendo, Wand against Vera, Forrest against Lyoto. I can think of a hundred matchups thats enough to fill a whole years worth of PPvs. Its crazy!

    Forget the main events, they suck anyway (see Jardine against anyone), put 5 co main events, even 6 just like Pride used to do, they never ran out of events.

    :lol: I think if he gets hit low first we can expect that. But I think Hardonk has a better chance than people think to win this fight. Hardonk and Patrick Berry are the only other guys in the UFC HW division that have the skills to stand with Kongo.

    No he can't bro. Don't let that Crocop KO fool you. Kongo is a world class Kickboxer and Gonzaga would try and play Jiu-jitsu with him. Gonzaga would be stupid to play the striking game with him.
