    My thought is the UFC is making Jardine a gatekeeper in the LHW division. Jardine has wins over Liddell and Griffin, two former champions, but probably won't be getting a title shot any time soon, even if he beats Jackson. So if Jackson wins, great, they can put him into the title picture. If not, fine, they use Machida instead.

    Here's news that will rock the MMA world: Justin McCully, The Insane One, will not compete at UFC 95! He is being replaced by newcomer Mike Ciesnolevicz! OMFG!

    Supposedly Wolfe is a pretty slick fighter. He is the reason Jon Koppenhaver (War Machine) left the UFC--Joe Silva wanted Koppenhaver to fight Wolfe, but Koppenhaver refused, saying he had too little to gain and too much to lose to the tough Hawaiian kid. We didn't get to see much of Wolfe in his last fight, though, as Ben Saunders kneed him to hell and left a hemotoma on his head like a beehive.

    Yeah, I only had Wolfe's last fight to judge him by and it was not a good showing. Hopefully he gets to show everyone a little more in his next bout.

    Sean Sherk vs. Frankie Edgar possible for UFC 98.

    Wandy could debut at middleweight at UFC 99 or 100.

    GSP/Alves for 100. Check.

    Now my other two predictions, Penn/Kenflo and Rashad/Rampage need to happen : ]

    You're mostly right. 5OP is reporting that Evans/Rampage or Evans/Machida is also going to happen at this event.

    However, three title fights are unlikely. The third co-main event is probably going to be Henderson/Bisping.

    I heard that the TUF fight would be at UFC 100, but couldn't confirm that. I'll take two title fights.

    Rampage/Evans (I think this fight will happen)
    Alves/GSP
    Bisping/Hendo
    ---/Wanderlei
    ---/---

    Any ideas who Wandy can fight at MW @ 100?

    Dunno. If I were Joe Silva, I'd want him to fight Patrick Cote, or perhaps Chris Leben.

    Any predictions on the last fight on the card? A big UFC name? If Liddell somehow gets through Rua with absolutely no injuries or anything, you think they try to ask him to be on UFC 100?

    I haven't heard anything, but anyone who fights between 92-96 should be available.
