What's wrong with Kendall? Grove is an exciting fighter with a marketable personality who is coming off a bad loss. Can't wait to see him roll over Rivera. He can be a force in the 185 division.

There is some eurotrash on there but Lambert vs. Gouveia and Lee vs. Sakara are both very interesting bouts, the two winners will emerge at the bottom end of the ludicrously stacked 205lb picture.

and i did forget to mention that having BJ on any card makes it worth it IMO Quote:

LOL

this card does look rather underwhelming... yes there are possibilities for good matches but i just dont see the entertainment value that the ones surrounding it do... the 2 main events (3 imo with Soku) of 79 and 81 looks very good as well...
i know all of the card cant be amazing like 79 but still.. this does need a co-main event to make it worth heavily concidering for me to buy.. but as it is i wouldnt order it even if i could... damn college im just glad im home for 79 ^_^

I actually really like the look of this card, if Werdum vs Gonzaga is anything like their first fight it will be one hell of a card. IMO theres nothing like to world class BJJ fighters getting into a war, and Daddy vs Penn should be a good main event. I look forward to seeing Lee's UFC debut and Lambert vs Gouviea should be good. Besides that I don't really want to see any other fights on this card but it seems to be that way for most UFC events anyways.

I gave up worrying about the card quality anymore. Half the shows we expect to be fantastic turn out to be lackluster and the cards we expect to he snoozers end up with unexpected all-out-battles and highlight reel knockouts. This card definitely has some potential, and even though it may not look entirely great on paper, you just never know til the end of the night.

its not a bad card really, but they dont have the fights in a good order.
penn vs stevenson
werdum vs gonzaga
gouviea vs lambert
all 3 of those are good fights, definatly main event worthy. and most ppvs only have 3 good fights on average.
sure they arnt as good as some main event fights but at least they have a few other decent fighters on the card like sam stout and marcus davis, and dont forget about per ukland, rofl jk. who the fuck is per ukland? anyways. not a bad card. ppl have become acustumed to cards that are amazing now.
i remember a year or two ago, their was only like 2 good fights on each event. now if the entire main card isnt stacked ppl get pissy.
dont take these fights for granted. 1 day with the emergence of other organizations the ufc may lose some fighters and ppl will be wishing they had cards like this again.
just think of it this way. if this was ANY other organization and they put together this card. ppl would be going wild for it. people just expect to much from the ufc now, becuase they've thrown a few amazing cards together and its like ppl expect it everytime now.
