    On paper theres nothing but mismatches(except fitch vs sanchez) and a disgrace of a main event(Alexander should be fighting Chuck)....but I think the underdogs are good enough to pull off a fluke upset in these matches,soooo.I made a poll just too see peoples opinions on who thinks which match might end up in an upset,sooo take your pick

    This card is a lot better than most of you think.

    Chuck vs Jardine will end in fireworks, obviously I feel Chuck is going to come on top. Chuck needed the knockout from Rampage to humble him a bit, he'll be back better than ever.

    Fitch & Sanchez is a possible candidate for fight of the year. No joke. Whether they both having wrestling type backgrounds or not, there will be so many nice transitions & work going on throughout this fight.

    "Shogun" vs Griffin could either be an absolute war, or it could be one sided. It's just something that's impossible to tell right now. How is "Shogun" going to do in the octagon for the first time? Most PRIDE fellas' track record is bad going into a cage for the first time. I think "Shogun" will be effected the most by the variation in rules from PRIDE/UFC. If you go back & look at "Shogun's" fights, a plethora of them are won via brutal soccer kick, or knees to a downed opponent. But at the same time, if he gets Griffin in the Muay Thai clinch, it's probably going to be game over anyways.

    Funny thing about this fight, is if "Shogun" would have beat "Babalu", and Griffin would have beat Jeremy horn, these two would have fought each other back in 2003 at the IFC Vale Tudo tournament.

    The fight I'm most excited for is Lyoto Machida taking on Kazuhiro Nakamura. Wow, what a fight. I can't express enough to you guys how good this fight is going to be. Both of these guys are absolute warriors, and it's going to be very nice to see Machida get tested for the first time since he won a decision over a bloated Heavyweight BJ Penn.

    I honestly don't think it's a bad card fellas. I'm not going to order it on PPV by any means, but I'll surely be checking it out at my local Hooters.

    The matchups are mismatches on paper, but more then likely, they will be very entertaining. Liddell and Jardine, and Griffen and Rua should be very exciting for as long as they last. Machida and Nakamura is an excellent matchup. Fitch and Sanchez is intriguing, and will probably go to the cards.

    Matchupwise, it's not the best versus the best, but Gatti\Ward wasn't either. Styles make fights, and these fights should be fun.

    Vaginas like SteveDave will take every opportunity to bash MMA, but don't realize how stupid they look when they do it.

    Nakamura-Machida has a high probability of being a stinker.

    Shogun will beat Jackson and Lidell won't have to worry about it. If Lidell is not shot he matches up with Shogun much better than he does against Jackson.

    Shogun will roll through Liddell or Jackson imo.

    Maybe, although I actually picked Shogun as the more likely upset this weekend. I have heard some things that are not good. Also, I am not sure about Shogun's chin, he was dropped pretty good multiple times against Little Nog.

    He got married a couple of weeks ago. But on the safe side, he's only fighting that pathetic piece of no-talent crap Forrest Griffin so it shouldn't be a big deal.

    huh? When evaluating matchups you are just supposed to ignore weakness's or potential weakness's? Yeah that makes a ton of sense. :doh: Not to mention his fight with Little Nog was RAZOR close and could have gone either way.

    There's nothing wrong with his chin,yeah he got hurt but he recovered quickly and let not act like Lil Nog throws pillows in there either:nono: If shogun has any weakness its his standup defense,he's just tooo easy to hit

    Yeah Little Nog hits real hard. That's why he has 1 KO in 15 fights. Shogun hasn't really been hit by a big hitter. The only 1 he really fought was Jackson but he destroyed him to quickly to find out about his chin. The jury is still out on Shogun's chin. Forrest should';t test it to much though because he's not a puncher either.
