This is definitely shaping up to be a card I am looking forward to! I’m still a bit gun shy since the main event hasn’t been announced, but everything else sounds pretty exciting!

Forrest would be a nice fit...
to face Little Nog. What’s his injury / suspension situation after UFC 101? He should be good to go by Nov. Then again, does he get a cut of pay-per-views? This being on Spike may rule him out…
Awesome idea!
What’s the standard medical suspension for bruised pride?

Chipper is going to be too strong and aggressive for Nick.

anybody know
what kind of Kung Fu Osipczak studied?
Not that he’ll have a chance to use it against Riddle.

LOL
It’s amazing how many people I’ve met who said they studied kung fu and I ask them what kind and they just shrug their shoulders and say “just kung fu”. Ugh. Let us know if you find out!

My gopher style kung fu is clearly stronger than his water mongoose kung fu, that’s all I’m saying.

wow jared hamman was supposedly one of the next poster boys for strikeforce’s LHW division. if it ends up being true it will amaze me even more how dana is literally stealing all strikeforce’s roster from under their nose
Hamman is definitely signed by the UFC. Link

nice find! thanks for that link dude. i am like i said i would be… (amazed) at how dana is killing it in and out of the office. this seems like the year of great contract signings for the ufc.. it definitely would deserve that title if they signed u know who.. as for hamman i dont think he is going to be faring very well against gustaffson but hey you never know!
How are they stealing all strikeforce’s roster"? Hamman and Baroni?

heh your right now that i think about it i cant think of any other guys that ufc has recently signed besides hamman and baroni, that were already a part of strike force :).. Although i do recall strikeforce trying to pick up some of the afflictions dud show card fighters. some guys just off the top of my head i know strikeforce was trying to sign but ufc picked up were todd duffee, paul daley, rafaello oliveira, chase gormley, a few others i just think the ufc has been doing an awesome job signing exciting fighters this year. i know strikeforce is missing out on a lot of that.. btw i need to read it again but also i think ufc recently picked up some guys on your (prospects) article.
Hamman was a top prospect but FAR from being their LHW posterboy. That title goes to Feijao. Hamman got KOed by a flying knee from Suganuma before he beat Suganuma in the rematch.

Agreed
Riddle is just way too strong…I see him smothering Osipczak on the ground en-route to a dominant decision win.
Good odds on Kim and Kang, even if I told myself I would never pick Kang again as long as I lived.
This shirt is "dry clean only", which means it's dirty.
That's exactly what I was thinking
I think Kang should take this fight, and anything better than an even line for Denis is a steal. I’d take the money and run

Pretty good free card
Please give Little Nog a decent opponent. Bisping/Kang for a main event is stupid.

i wouldnt throw forrest in there just because the dude just lost two fights in a row and im sure he wants a tune up fight.. what ever the hell that means, maybe just not a guy who for sure is going to embarrass him again..(at least so soon). a couple guys i think would make sense for nogs debut would be; jake obrien, brandon vera, brian stann, steve cantwell, thiago silva, stephen bonnar, luiz cane… eric schafer? i think eric might be signed to fight bader later this year dont know if not bader wouldnt be a bad first fight either.
forrest vs ksos would be good. funny you mention that match up because i was thinking about it as well then remembered there was recently an article bout how ksos considered himself the next forrest or jardine dont remember but one of them.. also there was another article about how ksos looked like forrest lol i dont think too much but i could see a tiny resemblance
FORREST?!!
That’s 1:30 he lasts.
Dana should be smart enough to throw Forrest away from the wolves and towards an opponent he can assure will be beaten.
