You aren't kidding.

With fights currently rumored to happen there (this is including the rumored Anderson-Okami fight if Anderson emerges ok from the fight with Sandman), there would be six top-10 fighters in the world at their weight classes; two of them would fight one another, one fight would be a move up in weight for a world #2, there would be one title fight, and two of the most well-rounded fighters in the world - Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson - would be on the card, as well as one of the most exciting strikers in MMA, Chuck Liddell.

88 is shaping up to be one of the best UFC cards this year.

...I`m kinda interested to see Rich fight Hamill as well....even though it`s prob a temporary move. Just to see how Rich handles a great wrestler like Hamill.

K wait a minute here I must be missing something. So Bj penn beats a washed up Jens Pulver, Then Joe Stevenson a guys who coundnt compete with elite ww so went down to lightweight and sean sherk again another guy who couldnt compete with eliet ww so went down to lightweight. Then he has his last two fight a ww as losses and he stepping right up to fight for a title. Now we have Anderson who has destroyed Rich franklin twice who looked unbeateable until Anderson came and hanldled him like he was a child. Then finshed Dan henderson dominte fassion aswell as every othe guy in the division who could be concidered a contender. And he doesnt get a title shot at 205 right away ? Henderson went a close five rounds with rampage and couldnt last two with Anderson so why no title shot for Anderson I think its bullshit

If he beats Irvin, i hope he comes in healthy against Okami because that is a weight change and a tough ass dude, i hope Anderson isn't underestimating Okami.

Rather see Cote win so if Anderson does make it past irvin, and Okami, then in someone shortly after Okami he can have a easy fight in knocking out Cote.

Anderson hasnt fought more than three times in a year... I'm not so sure he'll be able to fight every 2-3 months. I'd love it if he can but nobody seems to do it in the ufc.

Frankly I would love to see GSp and him at 185. Style wise and athletically thats a great fight.
