    I think Jardine makes the most sense, but I think Franklin/Griffin would sell the most.

    Scratch that.

    Griffin/Ortiz II @ 106.

    That card just became worth buying, IMO.

    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)

    Gonzaga/Nog looks like it isn't happening.

    Dos Santos and Gonzaga rumored for 108.

    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.

    Wandy vs. Sexyama pushed back to UFC 111, probably, whenever they are in Australia.

    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?
