The Ultimate Fighting Championship® has the cure for what is ailing fight fans, and in a continuing effort to provide what the world is truly waiting for, it is announcing yet another UFC card stacked with at least five fights that include two intense championship bouts and a heated grudge match between two light heavyweight rivals.

[Dork8503]

I guess Heath is alot better then McCully

[smoogy]

Wow Herring is kind of a surprise, I think he's the only candidate I didn't see get brought up before.

[NinjaShogunRua]

I'm really looking forward to this card. It definitely looks much better than the next 2 UFC cards already. The 2 title fights should be great, Tito and Rashad have a heated rivalry going on, and then we can see if Nog can sweep Herring and go 3-0 against him.

[Nate_Deezy]

Nogueira vs. Herring is a welcome addition to the card in my opinion.
