While I'm sure some will complain about the lack of a title fight

This has rounded out into a very fun looking card. Looking forward to this and definitely going to see if I can swing a trip to Detroit to check this out.

This card is stacked IMO. Lots of fun fights and I’m already trying to plan a trip from Boston to check it out.

by seanerk88 on Sep 14, 2010 11:23 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions  

121 and 123 are extremely stacked

And I expect 125 (New Year’s) and 127 (Super Bowl weekend) to follow suit barring more injury.

As in most cases,

the cards without a title fight are WAY better than the ones with title fights. UFC 119 looks way better than 118. 116 turned out great, but how many people thought the UFC was just mailing it in and riding Brock to the bank before everyone on that card decided to put on a Fight of the Night candidate? The UFC stacks these cards to make up for the lack of the belt and they are always better looking than ones with the belt.

That said, the poster still sucks.

by Josh Grant on Sep 14, 2010 11:14 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, it's pretty meh.

UFC needs a graphics artist to get some dragons, explosives, and hot women in there. It should look the cover of a Street Fighter game, not a Men’s Fitness cover.

Just kidding.

(Actually, no I’m not. Throw some lightning bolts and bikini models in that bitch.)

Nope. He said that the lightweight he was supposed to fight got injured and then Dana offered him this fight which he couldn’t refuse

If you're worried one of them will be dropped...

I doubt it… the loser will get an easy fight next to build him back up. Yea it sux for either to have 2 losses in a row coz I like them both but they are stars… they’ll be fine.

by Arca MMA on Sep 15, 2010 4:30 AM EDT up reply actions  

My hope is that Karo-Hallman gets on the main card with Soto, Penn-Hughes, and Machida-Rampage. I will be very comfortable putting my money down with those four fights. Add the McDonald or Davis fight in the middle.

Wonder if 122 is Belfort/Okami, Rivera/Sakara, and then a pile of garbage.

I don't know what everybody else is on

I like your little gimmicks. Considering that this board at one point had about 4 different variations of Brock Lesnar, I don’t know if any of us are in a position to criticize.

That shit was legit. Calvin Johnson is going to be a huge threat in the division as he matures, but that was his youth fucking him over. Three years from now he’ll be a top receiver and not on the Lions.

The ruling was correct. The RULE is painfully stupid.

Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.

I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.

Munoz and Simpson is a good fight

I forgot that fight was announced. Overall I think the card has good fights. I dunno what to make of Davis/Boetsch. I’ve no doubt Davis will win, but I think he could face tougher competition. I hope Hallman gives Karo an unhappy return and Paul Kelly whoops Gabe too
