PrintJust jacked this from cagepotato:
MMAmania.com can confirm that a main event title fight between newly crowned UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans (13-0-1) and former 205-pound kingpin Quinton Jackson (29-7) could be added to the UFC 96 card at the Nationwide Arena...
Perhaps the only thing currently standing in the way is time — both fighters face relatively tight turnarounds since their most recent winning performances at UFC 92: “The Ultimate 2008″ on Dec. 27.
Hope that's true and I hope I posted this right. First time FanPost.

we were just talking about 96 not having a good main last night and here we go. i hope this fight does happen at 96 and is till think the ufc will add another big fight to go along with it.
Here comes a little UFC fanboy talk – the way things have been going it doesn’t look like the UFC can do anything wrong.
Adding that fight makes the Gonzaga/Carwin match-up that much better. Add a couple more good match-ups and you’ve got yourself a nice card.
Because nobody wants to see Silva/Leites?

I’d watch a three hour video of Silva dodging tennis balls, or whatever it is that he does to train reflexes, much less dismantle Leites. But maybe that’s just me.
Def just you.
I think most of us would like to see Silva actually take a fight where he has an outside shot of losing for once. Is that too much to ask?
If Leites gets Silva to the ground, there is a good chance of Leites taking home the belt. I realize Silva is a blackbelt in BJJ, but every time I’ve seen him go to the ground I never really saw him try to improve his position.
Leites has looked completely average when he’s matched up against “great” competition. I don’t think he has a chance and think he would get KO’d or TKO’d in the 1st.
Hmm
Leites has a realistic chance of beating Silva IF he gets favorable position on the ground. He certainly has way more of a chance of beating Silva than Cote did…regardless of what some idiots have you believe.

There is always an outside chance
And while it may not be a million+, it’s undeniably not just me.
I’d love better matchups, but Anderson is in a league of his own right now.
thats why i’d like him to fight guys at 205. cause i dont see anyone that can challenge him at 185.. Plus its supposed to be okami there not leites.. Leites needs to rematch marquard first..
