I'm still on the fence about this one. Chances are good I just head for the nearest sports bar that carries UFC pay-per-views and watch it there. UFC 63 should be excellent, barring any freak injuries and/or illnesses (and this coming from the guy who though 62 was going to be a stellar card, when Sherk/Florian and Terrell/Okami were supposed to happen).

as for babalu, i think that he has a big chance against chuck. I am a chuck fan and this one kinda worries me. No one is giving babalu credit and that could be what pushes him. I think babalu can get this one to the ground. I don't believe that this will be an obvious KO in the first. I see a good match up that goes probably about 3 rounds. As for the rest of the card, as killer said, it isn't that bad. griffin and bonnar is a huge rematch that I am kind of excited to see. neer and alves I think is going to be a great match up and I really don't know who to pick in that one. Franca is fighting which should be cool to watch. And we now get to see if kongo is the real deal live. I for one am looking forward to him

I accually dont think its that bad,i'll pay for any PPV thats got the ice man fighting in the main event, forrest bonnar 2 is a stupid move on forrest's part i think, but i wouldnt mind seeing them both take it too eachother in another slugfest, franca,neer,alves,kongo and mcdonald are all good fighters IMO so i dont think it will be THAT bad

babalu did fight fedor... i think it was in rings im not sure though... ive seen the fight on you tube.... and as for chuck and babalu, i think babalu is a great fighter and alot of people think chuck is underestemating him but i think chuck is just confident with his skills! he has koed babalu b4 and knows that he can do it again, also chuck knows that babalu cant take him down and babalu will be forced to stand up with chuck and i dont care how much of a chuck hater you are, you cant deny chucks hands and feet! ask babalu! chuck is confident but not over confident!!

Chuck vs. Babalu-Two of the greatest LHW's in the world fighting for the UFC championship.
Griffin vs. Bonnar-two very exciting fighters.Last time they fought it was one of the greatest fights ever.
Josh Neer vs. Nick Diaz-two great young fighters who have no quit in them.This fight will give Bonnar/Griffin a run for their money for Fight of the Night.
Franca vs. Varner-should be a good fight.Most LW fights usually are.Varner is a good up and comer and Franca is a very exciting fighter
Christian Wellisch vs. Kongo-we finally get to see whether or not Kongo is for real.
Your argument is ridiculous.You haven't given one single good point as to why 62 "sucks".You even went as far as to say that 61 looks better on paper than 62.
I think the 62 main card will be very good.This ppv will be very exciting and these are very good match ups.

| My Fight predictions of UFC 62 Liddell will win with a KO from strikes because he has very good takedown defense and a submission fighter is only going to get a submission if he can get the guy on the ground. I see Neer winning but how many times is Diaz going to lose in a row I thought it was 3 loses in a row and your out of the UFC but it sucks for Diaz losing by decision all 3 times. I see that fight going to the judges in favor of Neer. Rob MacDonald will most likely win in the 2nd round by an arm bar. Cory Walmsley will win by submission in the first round. Wes Combs will win by TKO first round. Alan Belcher will win and no one will care. Kongo will win by TKO in 2nd round. Hermes Franca by submission in 3rd round. The UFC needs to do more ppv's like pride (meaning the different events like pride #, bushido, grand prix, and the open weight tournament) 1 or 2 good fights is good on making more money but what they need to do is have a card that every champion defends his belt and will prolly be the best ppv yet and get more ppl watching UFC.
