    Lots of good fights on this card. No really big names but matchups I want to see. Even though I am not the sanchez or stevenson fan it should be an interesting match. Demian Maia is a submission beast and I love to watch his fights. Also Marquardt vs Gouveia should be fun to watch also. Hopefully Koscheck can entertain with another huge knockout, I am not too familiar with Paulo Thiago though, is he gonna give Koscheck a challenge.

    He's only competed in Brazil so even the most diehard MMA fans don't know much about him. Brazilians usually suck at wrestling, and he's a submission fighter, so odds are he's being set up to lose.

    I really wanna see how the Santos vs Struve fight pans out. Struve is a hot prospect and I think like 21 yrs old.
    He's already said he thinks he can beat all but maybe 5 UFC HW's now.

    Santos handled Werdum rather easily, it'll be interesting to see if he's for real.

    it's a free UFC card again, so I'm not bitching about a lack of star power.

    I think there is a good chance Maia, in a win, faces the winner of Marquardt/Gouveia at UFC 98-100.

    I'd think if Marquart wins, he's earned another crack at the title.

    Well who else is there? Bisping and Hendo are lined up to face each other, Marquardt is the only feasible option imo.

    I almost want Chael Sonnen to win so I can see Anderson Silva knock him out.

    Diego is on stevia and is ripped up, apparently. I don't really get the stevia hype--I mean, how much sugar does anyone eat? I don't drink coffee so I can't remember the last time I used sugar in anything. The bag just sits in pantry. But Diego has always been a flake.
