UFC 68 Fight card

UFC® : Ultimate Fighting Championship®
Anyone look at the UFC 68 fightcard? Doesn't look to good, i'm just hoping that Couture some how beats Sylvia.

Also notice the 2 guys that are 5'12" and 1 guy is 5'13".

It's not stacked with top competition, but the card isn't too bad. I'm interested in Mcdonald vs. Franklin and Babalu vs. Lambert. My picks are Couture, Babalu, Mcdonald, & Hughes. Poor Chris Lytle.

I hope MacDonald wins. Don't really care for the other fights.

I am also quite interested in McDonald vs. Franklin and Babalu vs. Lambert. I really want Couture to win, but I don't think he's going to. Getting beaten by much larger guys is what caused him to drop to 205, and from his last fights he seems slower than he used to be.

Can't say I'm super excited about UFC 68 or 69, but the rumors for UFC 70 look great.

68 sounds awesome for your average UFC fan, alot of names that they hyped themselves, it will definitely be better than 67.

I think Sokoudjou was a fluke, he's lost to a pretty unknown guy named Glover Teixeira (whos lost to ed herman if it means anything, sherdog math I know).

In my mind, saying that UFC 68 is full of 'interesting' fights is analogous to saying that UFC is full of 'potentially boring' fights.

Sylvia vs Couture: This is a simple payday. Randy gets some free cash and the UFC profits either by having a champ who 'beats one of the best of all time' (i.e. and finally manage to get Sylvia some heat outside of his small group of current fans); or else they have a 'return of the King' type scenario. Neither interest me. This is just marketing.

Lyttle versus Hughes: Give me a break. The fact that Hughes got absolutely destroyed by GSP does not make him a fighter of Lyttle's calibre. There is no way Hughes loses this fight other than by total fluke.

Franklin vs MacD: Probably the most interesting fight of the night. MacD has already stopped 2 people he was supposed to lose to, and it will be interesting to see how Franklin's psyche is holding up after his severe beating at the hands of the Spider.

Lambert vs Bablu: What's the point? Babalu is not getting another title shot in the foreseeable future. I don't see Lambert having a real shot - not athletic or well-rounded enough. Again, getting KOd by Chuck does not make Babalu a fighter of Lambert's calibre. Babalu probably wins - but so what?

So all in all, thanks bittorrent! I'll be seeing these fights on Sunday.

Well, TBH, I kind of miss Couture, he's a great technical figher and has a killer clinch > takedown. I've been wanting to watch this style match up for a long time. Big time doesn't hit as hard as Chuck.

This is obviously a Tune-up fight. Hughes needs to build some serious fuckin self esteem before fighting GSP again.

Can't wait to see this one. Pretty decent opponent, I'm surprised Ace didn't take a total Can.

Babalu vs Rampage for #1 contender.

Great Karo clip. I love seeing his footwork and balance. Its also cool to see how he is applying Judo techniques to MMA in ways that work - I've probably seen him do all those takedowns in a real fight at some point or another.

This is an interview with Chuck Lidell. He's barely coherent at the best of times and, well, I can't believe they let him on.

Rough Morning for "The Iceman"
Sherdog article says he was sick, had very little sleep, and had a ton of nyquil. Never good conditions to be interviewed.

I never liked Babalu so I'm glad he lost.
