2 beefs with this card

why are we watching gusmao vs mendes and mohr vs siver and the undersard contains Lytle vs Davis and Palhares vs horn? I would love to see those two undercard fights. Now we have to pray for knockouts.

I don’t believe for one second that Davis v. Lytle will go unaired.

In all seriousness, this is a pretty lousy card. People like to criticize bad PRIDE matchmaking, but here it is again, except in unnecessary rematch form. Mohr/Siver? Gusmao/Mendes? Lytle/Davis should be fun but utterly meaningless since neither is anywhere near title contention; maybe the winner gets Condit? I don’t get why anyone cares about Palahares/Horn though. I like Jeremy Horn plenty but he’s a guy who way way past his best. I really wish I had that fight with Niko on tape to see whether or not he’s really won any of his last 5.

Add me to the list

that is wondering why Davis/Lytle is on the undercard?

The UFC seriously needs to give Davis a push and see if he can move his way into title contention.

How haven’t they given him a push? He was given 6 fairly safe opponents and then a shot at entering legitimate title contention against Mike Swick. He lost. What more should they do for him?
