VERA--WERDUM = The only fight I'm interested in. We'll see Vera against a legit HW AGAIN. Let's see if he has a good showing. Unlike the last showing against Tim Slyvia. I expect Werdum to lay the smacketh down.

BISPING--LEBEN = I expect Bisping to be way to much for Leben.. and didnt Bisping JUST recently fight? idk, cutting it a bit close. It would have been cooler to see him fight someone like Okami.

RASHAD--IRVIN = Hella Lame... I expect Rashad to steamroll this guy. THIS IS WHY I HATE THE TUF SHOW... It ties up fighters for way to LONG ro build "hype"....happened with Hughes/Serra, it's happening now with Rampage/Griffin. I would have liked to Griffin fight Rashad. Now I cant. OH WELL.

How can you say this is a quality event? It looks like crap compared to 84.

The only reason the UFC even attempted to collect PPV money from this event is because of ONE PERSON. CHUCK LIDDELL. No ICEMAN, no numbers. Thank god Chuck doesnt let this get to his head... Chuck is the posterboy of the UFC. If Chuck were to turn on Dana, I could see the UFC lose it's foothole on the sport.

It may look like crap compared to 84, but compared to 78 it looks fantastic. Bisping fighting again is fine by me. Why should he fight Okami when Okami is going to face Silva next?

And your argument about Rampage/Griffin? They wouldn't have moved that fight up because liddell went out of this one. It wouldn't have happened sooner anyways considering both were recovering from injuries and COULDN'T train to fight because of it.

Hughes will retire after the Serra fight. I can almost guarantee that Dana said, hey can you fight in June? Ill give you Serra next as he is out for a couple months anyways.

And to say the only reason it was a PPV is because Liddell was on it is total bullshit. The UFC will put as many cards as possible on PPV. They are hemoraging money from the UK fights. The UFC has every right to put a card on PPV. Look at UFC 72 or 78.
