We will never ever see Frank Shamrock in the UFC octagon again. He doesn’t even like it there, EliteXC gives him too much freedom on his fights and promotions, he gets a lot of money from them too.

Gonzaga is a super talent but I know that Couture will find a way to avoid his initial rushes and take the fight through the distance. That is his best chance he has at finishing off Gonzaga or getting the decision. I’m going for Couture because of his experience and knowledge of the sport.

The fighter I don’t know to much about is Marquardt and I’m anxious to see how he does against Silvia. Everyone is saying that he will get rolled, but I’m hoping its at least a good fight.

Damn dave u about discussed everything and i agree with both of u guys but u guys didnt talk about Frank Shamrock who is a very good and cocky fighter who could be good for the UFC but dana doesnt like him I doubt u will see him in the UFC and alot of New fans we never even know who he is and also Paulo Filho going to WEC that sucks. He would easily be in the top 3 Middleweight fighters as far as talent if not #1 Idont think Anderson Silva is that good. I think he will lose at UFC 73 by Unanimous dec./or by tapout Luteer had anderson mounted and he sucks. And Rich is an overrated fighter as well most Middleweights are there because they r not good enough to beat LHW’s. E#veryone knows 205lb class is the best by far then Welterweight and then Heavyweight but Fedor hasent fought for a while and it will be along time before we even see him with a contract with everyone wanting him and stuff i still thin he will sign with UFC but it will be a while and a log time before we see him fight in the UFC. I am curious to see how Gonzaga handles Couture because he looked very good against Crocop but I think Cro Cop took him lightly so That is one thing I am concerned with and also with Fedor not fighting in the UFC the heavyweight division will remain weak.

yeah the jackson vs henderson fight is huge but not as huge as a unification fight I think they should get rid of Pride all together because it is so confusing right now and it will be a very long time if ever till they fix it and get it running and that doesnt garuantee success anyways so to me UFC is the place to fight and Pride is history I just wish UFC would put great cards like stacked all the time. They have the talent and the fighters to do it why they dont kills me.
Tito and Dana will always fight and hate eachother but the both sort of repsect eachother deep down. and UFC 75 and 76 will probally be very explosive considering Shogun will probally fight and that wont even be the main event and 75 with Cro Cop vs Kongo that should be fight of the night because someone is getting knocked out out both of them want nothing to do with the ground unless its their opponent hitting it and Ofcourse the fight with Henderson and Rampage if true that its not a Title fight will be very disappointing in a sense but still will be the best 2 fighters in a cage since fedor vs nogeuria. Look for Nogeuria to make a huge impact in the UFC becuse he is the opposite of cro cop but then again he isnt because he has a good stand up but his ground game is world class and the best a heavy weight has ever been on the ground so theats what im saying about this Until next time.

Two things I got from this. First, Dana is probably half and half on weather or not to just do away with Pride, or get it going again. He also mentioned that if it gets going again a Super Bowl type event would probably be in the works among the two organizations.

Two, the Rampage vs. Henderson match is just an exhibition, three rounds, and both fighters will walk away from the match with their titles. Kinda sucks to me.
