I usually buy UFC cards, but I probably won’t buy this one. I’m very curious to see Randy’s plan for beating Sylvia, but the other fights (three of which are mismatches) hold very little allure for me.

Babalu will submit Lambert with little difficulty. Franklin’s weakness is his chin, and that won’t get tested by MacDonald. Franklin will win after hitting McDonald a lot. Hughes will either GNP Lytle into oblivion, or he’ll get upset, which will prove to me that his heart isn’t in the game anymore. None of those outcomes are terribly exciting.

Rollo:

I’d rather watch internationals who built their reputation on high profile tournaments and bring that hunger inside the ring then the guy who thinks he earned that spot because he was almost high school regionals champ and he earned his wins with a couple medioche bombs with his sad sack boxing style. There’s more to fighting then watching a dude push down his opponent and smack him around on the head a couple times. If nobody can’t get beyond that, they deserve the ass kicking they get.

A real fan could watch any 2 fighters fight and find something of value in it.

I’m so sick and tired of this argument, you don’t have to like a bunch of shitty match ups (not specifically directed at this card) to be a fan.

Yeah, those fighters from Norway, Russia and Holand are really “dark”. Maybe we need some quality international fighters like Zuluzhino. Then you can pat yourself on the back and feel good about your rainbow UFC. I guess we need JohnMccain to get involved a second time and put a quota system in for MMA cards. Worry about the quality of the fighters more and less about what they look like.

I don’t see a problem with the card. Calling it “The Redneck Showdown” is ridiculous. The UFC has always (even when under SEG long ago) travelled to different areas of the country and tried to use local fighters in shows. It strengthens the regional fan base for other shows not in that particular area. If you don’t like a particular card, then don’t watch it. The endless complaining about matchups and cards is pointless. A real fan could watch any 2 fighters fight and find something of value in it.

Jordan Breen Says:

“He won the first few rounds of the Ricco fight, and won the first round of the Barnett fight. But, okay. ”

You’re correct – but I think the thing with fighting at HW was that he was getting worn out by these guys that were so much bigger than him and as soon as they started pouring it on in the later rounds he was getting thrashed.

IIRC he suffered at least one serious injury (shattered orbital against Ricco) in those two bouts.

“Ok, there are two darker guys on the undercard but thats it and not much international representation: Babalu (Brazil), Jason MacDonald (Canada).”

Gleison Tibau is from Brazil as well, and Martin Kampmann is from Denmark.

Also, why something like Holman/Hamill tickles your fancy blows me away.
