This is going to be a HUGE fight! This fight has the potential to be the best fight of the year. I can't even predict this fight, that is how crazy it is, this will be a hell of a fight to watch and I can't wait!
^ True, this is a fight where pretty much anything can happen. The odds makers can't decide either, putting both guys at about -105 for the fight right now.
You're betting 105bucks? I'm scared to bet on this fight mate, that says it all. Like I want Randy to win so he can continue his legacy, but then again I want Brook to win so he can official be a name and every can fear him in the UFC.
Matt Riddell is off the card due to very bad injury. yikes, that's Patrick Cote territory there No word on a replacement, but I'm sure someone will want to fight on this card that will be a huge draw.
Reports have Amir Sadollah being injured and unable to compete at UFC 91. Barn Cat vs. McLovin is likely to replace that fight on the televised card.
^ Confirmed by UFC.com, Sadollah has a leg infection and will not be competing at UFC 91, and his opponent will not get a replacement. http://www.ufc.com/index.cfm?fa=news.detail&gid=15767
Weigh-in Results: Randy Couture (220) vs. Brock Lesnar (265) Kenny Florian (156) vs. Joe Stevenson (156) Gabriel Gonzaga (256) vs. Josh Hendricks (238) Demian Maia (185) vs. Nate Quarry (185) Tamdan McCrory (170) vs. Dustin Hazelett (170) Aaron Riley (156) vs. Jorge Gurgel (155) Rafael dos Anjos (155) vs. Jeremy Stephens (155) Mark Bocek (155) vs. Alvin Robinson (155) Ryan Thomas (170) vs. Matt Brown (171) 220# for Randy? I don't know what to think about that. He will be sacrificing 55+ lbs to Brock. Seems like a bad idea.
It scares me that Brock is at the limit for heavyweights...The more I think about it, the more I want Lesnar to win. I mean it would be sweet for Couture to continue his legacy but this could be the passing of the torch to someone that could potentially dominate for a year or 2. Also, besides Couture and Lesnar this card really isnt that interesting. I think the only other fight I wanted to check out was Amir Sodallah because I wanted to see how far hes progressed since TUF and now hes out of the event.
the only main event fight I'm not that interested in is the Gonzaga fight. McCrory vs Hazeltt aka The Barn Cat vs McLovin will be the FoTN I predict. I love watching Maia on the ground, he goes for it all of the time. how can anyone not want to see the Joe Daddy vs Ken-Flo fight?? It's going to be really good too IMO.
