this is gonna be a bloody fight. lesnar and mir is in an under card fight? who else ?

Where do you get Mir and Lesner will be an undercard fight? They just fought at UFC100

yeah i saw their fight in 100. and mir's got a bloody face. i just excited actually and thought when they'd fight again. i still wanted to see a fight between the two that's something devastating.

randy will probably win in this fight. i saw how well he fights in his comeback during gonzaga and him.

It looks like the UFC put together another stellar card in UFC 102. Randy Couture is Randy Couture and Nogueira is a stud. I see this as being a very competitive, spirited bout. Something I found interesting about the scheduled fights for this event is that out of the 10 scheduled fights, 4 of them are between an American fighter versus a Brazilian fighter. It shall be interesting.

Didnt notice that, Nice point out. And have you also notice that 20% of the fighters have the name Silva...lol..Ok maybe not 20% but you get what I am saying.

Dana is really outdoing it for the cards. They just get better and better.

whoever wins this fight most def should be the next challenger for Anderson. The winner of Bisping and Henderson will be one more win away and then that person should get a shot.

LOL it's funny you mention the Silva thing. I am always getting them confused...seems like there are so many of them hehe. It's only a matter of time until we get a "Silva vs. Silva" matchup in the UFC. I wish I could attend this event, but it's a little too far away!
