| SF mainly because Dan Hardy does not belong in the same cage as GSP and no prime time special and no level of "Hardy believing in himself" will make me think otherwise. I'll order the show and it's a strong card but SF is putting on a pretty stellar card for free there and i find the LHW and LW title matches more intriuging than anything on UFC 111...except Fitch-Alves perhaps, that will be badass but i think after GSP and Frank Mir win people will be saying "UFC did it again, they convinced us guys like Hardy and Carwin were contenders" | |

| dont get me wrong, this is still a good SF card, but Fedor not being on it really hurts.
GSP vs Hardy can be compared to Dan Henderson vs Jake Shileds. Both fights will most likely be one sided beatings but i honestly think Hardy has a better shot of landing a haymaker than Shields does of submitting Hendo.
Frank Mir vs Shane Carwin is a huge fight for obvious reasons and while Mousasi is a great fighter the match up with King Mo just cant compare to the clash of heavyweight Titans.
Thiago Alves vs Jon Fitch is a matchup of the 2nd and 3rd best WW's in the world and could be fight of the night. Both fighters have improved tremendously since they last fought. Gilbert Melendez vs Shinya Aoki is a good fight, but let's be honest. Alot of people think Aoki is overrated and one dimensional. The truth is neither of these Lw's be top 5 in all likelyhood in the ufc.
And as for the rest of the card it's not really close. SF will fill their prelims with guys we've never heard of while the UFC has guys like Nate Diaz, Ricardo Almeida, Kurt Pellegrino and so on. | |

| The GSP/Hardy fight garners the least interest from me out of the 6 fights. It being the main event downgrades it's value for me against the SF card also. I think the Hendo Shields Fight will be better then the GSP Hardy fight. | |

| UFC 111. While I agree that the GSP Hardy fight is a bit soft, I think Mir Carwin is a very exciting matchup and Fitch Alves is also very good. SF's 3 big fights are all very good, but I can't even find who the other fighters are on that card. If 2 of the big fights ends early what happens then? We will prob get to see 6 good matchups from UFC, no more then 4 from SF.
then there is also the SF card being for free, but the UFC is commercial free. Bit of a wash there. | |

| SF without a doubt. This shouldn't even be a topic for real. No direspect OP. King Mo is a big time prospect and I am interested in seeing how he does against Mousasi. Aoki vs Melendez is gonna be fireworks for sure. GSP vs Hardy shold be one sided and I could care less about seeing Jon Fitch fight for real. The match I want to see is Mir vs Carwin and that is not a title fight no matter what you have heard. It is a #1 contender match because we know who the champ is. I will watch both for sure anyways. | |

| Its super close. The main events should cancel each other out in one-sidedness. I'm probably looking forward to Mir-Carwin and the destruction of Fitch at the hands of Alves more than the 2 SF fights. Its going to be two awesome cards though | |
