WAMMA heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko vs. Andrei Arlovski
Josh Barnett vs. TBA
Vitor Belfort vs. TBA
Matt Lindland vs. Renato "Babalu" Sobral
Chris Horodecki vs. Dan Lauzon

Vladamir Matyushenko vs. Antontio Rogerio Nogueira
Jay Hieron vs. Jason High
LC. Davis vs. Mark Hominick
Antonio Duarte vs. Albert Rios
Brett Cooper vs. TBA
Paul Buentello vs. Kiril Sidelnikov

Thoughts???


Fedor-Arlovski should be a good fight, no matter how good Fedor is...
Horodecki-Lauzon should keep us entertained and present some awesome young talent.
I'm looking forward to fights like Lindland-Sobral and Matyushenko-Nogueira.

Good Card.

I will be much more excited about this when they announce the competition for Belfort and Barnett. Lindland vs Sobral will be a great fight.

There is some great talent on this card. I really hope they can keep this going so UFC will have some competition and be forced to put better cards together.

...I don't really have a problem with the cards the UFC is putting together...I mean although the last card wasn't exactly start studded...every fight with the exception of one, was finished by either TKO or submission...and the one that went the distance was action packed from start to finish....

My problem is with the pay scale....the UFC is making a lot of money...they truly need to pay the fighters. No fighter should be making less than 15k per fight. I do like the fact that the UFC is now upped the bonuses up to 60k for fight, submission, and TKO of the night.

I am all for super fights...but once..or at the very most a best of three..I have no interest in a Couture vs Lidell 4....How does everyone else feel?

With ya there, XHD...
Its not necesarrily for our entertainment, that i want Affliction to hold on so bad, (although, thats additional), but also for the fighters man...
These nukkaz put there lives on the line stepping into that cage, and deserve not only the utmost respect, but pay enough to help them make a living at their dream goal and sport.

Dana can say he cares about the fighters to the press, and talk like he's buds with em, but when the payscale comes out, we see the fraud for sure.

It looks like they are matching up Barnett with the original bad boy of MMA Gilbert Yvel...I think Barnett should make short work of Yvel...but I guess anything is possible... :)
