I wonder who will be CC's opponent. 
I hope so,those are two great fights right there.It would be nice to see Wandy get back on his winning ways.The Penn/Sherk fight is gonna be great.I'm taking the Muscle Shark on this one.
Vera/Werdum is in the works for UFC 85 as well.That's a great match-up with a slight edge to Werdum IMO.

Honestly, I'd love to see Jardine beat Silva and get a title shot. He's one of the hardest working men in MMA and he doesn't get any of the respect he deserves.
Penn/Sherk will be Penn, no question. He's got better standup and he's solid against wrestlers. The only reason Hughes beat him was because of an injury in the second round. Dense as the 155 division is right now, Penn is the best overall and maybe the best pound-for-pound in the world.
Werdum/Vera would be fun. I'd say Vera standing up and Werdum on the ground.

People keep talking like this is going to be an easy fight for Wandy, same was said to Griffin and Liddell, Keith is Chuck's size, that'll make it hard for Wandy.
I'll go with Penn. Sherk can wrestle and is strong. Mir/Lesner showed an expert at BJJ can trump that.

He definately is a hard working fighter.The Liddell win really was a big accomplishment and most people forgot about that after Chuck beat Wanderlai.If he can get back to back wins against Liddell and Silva that would be very impressive.

Sherk has a much better sub defense than Lesnar. He's also way more experienced.
True, I still say Penn though.
if Jardine wins think they'll have him fight the Shogun/Chuck winner for a title shot
the hardest road to a title ever......
Wand has said in an interview that he is considering a drop to 185
Randy has signed a deal to fight Fedor after his contract expires(oct 12)
Brock Lesnars next opponent rumored to be Justin Mcully

Has that fight been confirmed?That's awesome if it has,those are the two best fighters at executing gameplans in the history of MMA.It would also be interesting to see who else they would have on that card.Maybe if Arlovski leaves the UFC we could see him vs.Aleks,that would be a good fight.
I know it's been brought up before but what's up with Arlovski on the undercard?
Seriously.Him and the UFC have to be on really bad terms to make that move.I hope he puts on an incredible performance and shoves it right up there ass. 😛If so, that's messed up.

Big name fighter to replace Shogun in a fight with Liddell. Winner may well get the winner of Rampage/Griffin......
Rashad Evans maybe?

I was looking forward to seeing Liddell/Shogun,that sucks.
Fedor is going to be a free agent again and his management is rumored to be meeting with the UFC again.It's been a few years since he was the dominant,unbeatable fighter in Pride and the game has evolved alot over those years.The UFC is the place now for top HW's and I would like to see Fedor's skills put to the test.Hopefully if he signs we won't see Noguiera/Fedor 4,at least not right away.

If Fedor signs, it'll be Couture/Fedor as soon as humanly possible. That's why Couture hasn't fought in months. He's been hunting down Fedor.

He really doesn't have the build of someone who is on juice,I would be surprised to hear that he was on it.Crocop and Wandy did look smaller though.Wandy looked really small in his last fight.
Looking like a bodybuilder and taking steroids are not the same thing. If you don't take too much as well as the right kind, it just boosts your energy level, greatly improve your recovery, speed aand increases your endurance. That's why bodybuilders spend time in the gym. You can't just take them and just sit there. My friend's dad was a state champion bodybuilder, he weighed 190lbs and maxed out on bench at 600lbs. It will make you a little bigger, but in MMA speed and explosiveness isthe way4 to tell.

In the other hand, think A. Silva, Rampage and Nogueira.
Well, A. Silva wasn't a champion until the UFC, while he started in Pride, I consider him a UFC guy. In Pride he was 3-2, so he probably wasn on roids but wasn't as dominant against fighters who might have been.
Nog has done what he always did, has the best chin in MMA, gets beat to Hell and then gets a submission win.
Rampage has quick hands and is a strong wrestler, always was.
I never said everyone in Pride was on Roids, but Cro Cop was dominant in Pride, and then sucked in the UFC. Silva is a small 205lbs.,dominated Pride, and is 1-3 in the UFC.
I just said you have to wait and see if Pride stars are good in the UFC. What was your point?
