I think they are too afraid to put Kongo against Gonzaga with both coming off losses. With HW so thin, they don't want to risk one of them losing again and losing another heavyweight. So instead of giving Kongo an actual test, they throw him in there with a stepping stone so they can get him an easy win . . . IMO.

I would love to see Kongo Vs Gonzaga by the way.

I don't really think the HW Division is very thin. i mean, we've got Werdum, Vera, Napao, Herring, Kongo, Lesnar, Wellish, Hardonk, Arlovski, McCully, Sanchez...ok, so it's pretty thin. Still, there are a lot of interesting matchups. This should be the next season of TuF. Set up and 8 man tourney. (forget about sanchez and mccully, they're not quite there yet) and give the winner of the tournament a title shot. i know it'll never happen, but think about some of the fights.

Hardonk vs Kongo
Lesnar vs napao
Arlovski vs Herring
Vera vs Werdum(i know, already happening)

note to UFC...BRING IN PRIDE HEAVYWEIGHTS!!!

You're are absolutely right.

I think Napao would sub Kongo and since Kongo is marketable they'd be best for them to spoon feed him for now at least.

Seriously. If Coleman/Lesnar ends up being the main event, I'm not even watching that shit on sopcast.

I will be getting my ticket on the 22nd then I guess

Has anyone here been to an event? Is being front Row advantageous? I see it being difficult to see because of the angle you'd be positioned at but I wanna be as close as I can be and still see the fights

lol well supposedly that is what is being said as the headliner right now. Love him or hate him, Brock will bring a lot of attention just like last time.

I read somewhere that Hendo should be on this card.

Brock Lesnar fighting in his home state is going to generate a lot of revenue for the UFC, which, after all, is the main priority any business.

At the end of the day, I am really looking forward to Florian and Huerta, though. I think it could ultimately be one of the better fights we've seen in a long time.
