sherk’s gonna have more viewers for his post fight jog, if he sinks any lower on the undercard.

it doesn’t have star power but this will be a fun card. i don’t really think anything will be boring besides sherk’s fight. but i’m surprised where munoz’s fight is on the card.

Looking at the undercard, if they do the prelims on Spike thing again, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him make it.

This card is looking great, I only see 1 or 2 decisions there are going to be lots of KO’s and subs because with fights like Daley/Condit and Markham/Kampman it’s going to be exciting and over quick.

tough matchup for cantwell and situation. he was building himself nicely in the wec, getting better each fight, but then they cut the division and he gets luis cane in his ufc debut. loses a hard fought decision, then loses a razor thin decision to stann and now faces a terrible style matchup for himself in what could be the last fight on his contract. hopefully the ufc keeps him around and lets him get some matchups against guys around the same experience level again…like szoyzinski, eliiot marshall, eric shcafer, jon jones.
