This sounds like interest to me.

I'm interested. I think Shogun decapitates frog legs.

i just mean Evans fights bore me, really the Rampage vs Rashad and Rashad vs Thiago fights just left a taste in my mouth that tasted like horse shit

Yeah, he doesn't do much for me either, but the match up..... It does because I think it plays into Shoguns hands here if he tries to continue pulling that style. But Rua's health will be a concern. It's tough to come back from that injury.

i just faer Rashad having the belt again

I dont think Evans has many fans of his style or himself in general but if he can take Rua down he could win the fight. After saying that i still say he gets knocked out. Is Rampage next nothing like looking to the future.

Seems like I've stated my opinion on this fight a million times but most likely Shogun by TKO anytime from the 3rd on

I think Shogun can catch him while he is back peddling, because he will be back peddling, and knock him over stunned and finish him. Evans won't be able to keep him down but can take him down. I don't think Rua will rely on the leg kicks unless the fight goes into the 2nd round. Evans is fast but but his speed going backwards turns him sloppy.

I wonder if that holds up and they promote Faber-Wineland as the co-main. Seems logical that Faber would be the guy they really give focus to after this merger

Yeah but i still dont know why Faber's first fight is on the East coast kind of stunned they wouldnt milk his West coast appeal.

Yeah a Oakland card would make a lot of sense to the UFC. I don't think they do Arco.

Or I guess they Could: UFC 73 Ortiz vs Evans from Arco Arena.

Looks like another great card, thank you merger.

On the fight, yeah Rashad is annoying to watch, but he is a top LHW, I'll take the chance at seeing Shogun KO him. Hope the layoff and injury don't effect Shogun here, seems like if he can stop the takedowns it's just a matter of time before he catches Shad.

Champ Mauricio "Shogun" Rua vs. Rashad Evans (for light-heavyweight title)
Urijah Faber vs. Eddie Wineland
Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic vs. Brendan Schaub*
Jim Miller vs. Kamal Shalorus*
Ricardo Almeida vs. Mike Pyle*
Kurt Pellegrino vs. Gleison Tibau*
Edson Barboza vs. Anthony Njokuani*
Luiz Cane vs. Karlos Vemola*
Joseph Benavidez vs. Ian Loveland

Its another very good card.

Should have another 2 fights being added. Not sure who but 1 person I hear may be Nick Catone.
