UFC 106 looks like it is going to draw big. Lesnar, Forrest and Tito are all big draws. Important fights to their divisions: 1) Lil Nog vs. Cane won't be well known among new fans, but it's definitely an excellent fight to look forward too. Cane looks like a beast, and Lil Nog is an elite LHW. 2) Fitch vs Almeida might not turn out to be exciting but it is a very important fight for the WW division, Fitch if he keeps winning will deserve another title shot, and if Almeida can beat the generally ranked #2 WW, he'd definitely be in the midst of potential contenders. Then there are some clear fights that are matches made for excitment. 1) Amir-Baroni - either Baroni KTFOs Amir, or Amir subs Baroni 2 ) Saunder vs Marcus Davis - two guys that generally keep the fight standing. 3) Karo vs Hazelett - I'm expecting Karo to be explosive early on, maybe land some nice throws, but gas like usual and then Hazelett walking away with a sub. Should be entertaining. 4) George Sitiroupoulous vs Dent - Not impressed with Dent, George's last fight against Roop was exciting as hell, and some slick groundwork by George S, although it was against Roop who isn't a great guy to gauge a fighter's skills against (same with Dent though, albeit Dent is more defensive)
UFC 111, or thereabouts, will take place in mid-late February at the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia.
Yeah if Nog's already going to get a title shot no need for him to risk it by facing Gonzaga. Dos Santos/Gonzaga is a great fight too.
BTW, UFC 108 is looking awesome: 185lbs. Anderson Silva (C) vs. Vitor Belfort 205lbs. Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Silva 185lbs. Nate Marquardt vs. Dan Henderson 265lbs. Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Junior dos Santos 185lbs. Wanderlei Silva vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama 155lbs. Joe Lauzon vs. Sam Stout
^ Well what the hell is Hendo going to do? Let is know if he re-signs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7wIM9bww0w&feature=player_embedded#
I was talking to Heath and he said that contract talks are really slow right now. Who knows, I can't see Hendo going back to Japan and I can't see him going to Strikeforce. Maybe it will happen?
