UFC 69...or UFN 69

Wow, that's a terrible card. There's not a single fight on the card that I would pay to see. Every fight features a TUF guy. Who the hell are they kidding?! I've never been pissed at a UFC card, but this is ridiculous. GSP/Serra is a squash. Sanchez/Kos might be interesting just because of the heat, but I still think Sanchez kills him. Swick will probably be fed another speedbump, and everything else if just crap. This sounds more like an UFN or a WEC event. But hey, that's just my opinion.

GSP/Serra will most likely be won by GSP....but look at the Lutter/Silva fight. Lutter was supposed to get destroyed and he had a chance to finish the fight in the first round. Anything can happen and with the title on the line, it makes it an exciting fight. Kos/Diego will be good due to the bad blood, plus the fight has pretty important future title fight implications. Hopefully Grove puts on a good fight and stomps on Belcher. As far as Swicks fight or Huertas, why not wait to their opponents are announced before dogging the matches. Big names don't equal good fights. Id take a Kos/Diego matchup over Tito/Griffin 2 anyday.

Are you joking? This card is shaping up too be very good. All it needs now is Karo.

I just don't think GSP/Serra will even be competitive. After they won TUF, I thought Lutter stood a better chance of beating Silva than Serra beating GSP. Don't get me wrong, I like the guy, but Serra's not close to champ level. As far as Swick, you're right, I'll wait to see who he's fighting. I would have loved to see Swick/McDonald, but we know that's not happening any time soon. Who else of quality is out there?

Okami, Marquardt, maybe even Leben. Hell maybe they will make Terry Martins dreams come true and through him in there. That would be a bangfest.

Okami. That was the rumored fight right? That actually would be interesting. Wasn't the Marquardt/Lister fight for a title shot? If not, I'm guessing Marquardt fights the winner of Franklin/McDonald for the shot.

As far as Leben; I'm starting a pettition to send him down to the WEC. Who's in?!

Yushin Okami is far from a "speedbump" he is 3-0 in UFC and is no joke of a fighter by any means.

Kendall Grove vs. Alan Belcher is a very competitive fight. You really should get a hold of the Belcher vs. Santiago fight, Belcher is very underrated.

Roger Huerta who just won very impressively at UFC 67 is now on the card.

Sanchez vs. Koscheck is going to be a great fight and Koscheck with his wrestling won't just lay over for Diego.

And while GSP vs. Serra should be a fairly easy win for GSP, you still get to see the best WW in the world fighting.

Just because someone got introduced via TUF DOES NOT make them automatically an inferior fighter.

There's a reason there are winners on the reality shows. Those are the guys that should make the pay-per-views. The only reason the other guys make the pay-per-views is because they're "pop" stars now. From a marketing standpoint, it's brilliant. But as a long-time UFC fan, I just find it annoying. These guys should be on the UFN's or sent down to the WEC until they are proven.
