Both those fights should be great, but it'd be nice if a few other fights were possible...
Wanderlei vs Belfort

That'd be a totally stacked card with just those 4 fights

I wonder which way Silva will choose to knock him out. I guess it's gotta happen though. Just another name to put under the win column
i will be in the building, book it
Okami?
LOL, wow.
Gay.
Forrest Griffin vs. Mauricio Rua Rematch to Take Place at UFC Rio Event
A rematch of the epic September 2007 matchup between Forrest Griffin and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua will take place at the UFC's upcoming event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, MMA Fighting has learned from sources with knowledge of the situation.
Early Friday morning, UFC president Dana White confirmed the bout to MMA Fighting.

Heard Royce Gracie on Inside MMA last night talk about how he is scheduled to talk with Dana White & crew in a couple of weeks, about a possible appearance on this card, maybe fighting Matt Hughes?
the first fight that got me into MMA
nice. UFC 40: Shamrock vs Ortiz really got me really watching and the rest was historythe first fight that got me into MMA
I didn't watch it till it was on e. Before that I didn't know as simple as the difference between UFC and MMA. It's crazy how important UFC and e TV are to each other
yes, what makes this better is this lands on my birthday.
Am I the only one who thinks this card blows? Sorry, but I don't want to see a 90 year old Gracie get his ruined, again, or a bunch of other butt Brazilians fight. This has my vote for, 'Gayer than Dallaskd' card.
You got me all excited. But it looks like florian fighting at UFC 131 and Wanderlei at UFC 132. I guess florian could fight again but Wanderlei probably not.

Great
Another aging legend for that idiot Schaub to beat up on..
Nog wins imo
He's talking about deserving a le shot soon, but he doesn't realize he's still middle of the pack even with a KO of Big Nog. CroCop was busting him up before that freak KO, but Mir did the same thing. Unless it's by last minute KO, Nog will beat him even tho he's old and worn out.
Schaub is nowhere near a le shot. He's gotta beat Carwin or JDS to get that and they'd both wreck him..
I think big Nog is a good opponent for Schaub. If he doesn't win, he doesn't deserve to move into the top 5 guys...it will be a good test with Nog being close to retirement already (hopefully)...
Agreed, Fat Nelson lit up Schaub and JDS did the same to Nelson...unless there is a drastic chin improvement, i don't see Schaub beating a top guy (JDS, Carwin, Brock, etc.)
Certain guys in the UFC annoy me when they are basically just gate-keeping and they keep talking themsleves up for le shots. Bisping has been doing this forever. Last elite fighter he fought was Hendo and we all rememeber how that went..
He thinks he is gonna get a shot beating up guys like Rivera and Akiyama. when guys like Sonnen (IF he ever gets licensed again) and Okami are well ahead of him..
See, I actually don't mind them creating hype for themselves by saying they need a " le shot" or "#1 contender" fight...they gotta pay bills, get sponsors, AND I like seeing guys like him and Bisping get ed out against quality fighters.
My problem is when fighters diminish other fighters, whether it be out of jealousy because someone else is higher on the food chain or in a lesser known promotion. Calling out dudes is a no-no and it deserves a slappin - basically Bisping in every fight but recently haha.
All good points especially the 2nd part..
I just think some of these guys need to earn their spots a little more before they start yammering about le shots. Some guys talk just to cause trouble and because they have big ego's..
Although as i am saying this GSP once in the ring begged for a le shot..
