|  UFC 88 Card
Is anyone else as unexcited about this card as I am??
UFC 88: Breakthrough
Date: Sep 06, 2008
Location: Atlanta, Ga.
Venue: Phillips Arena
Broadcast: Pay Per View
MAIN CARD
* Rashad Evans vs. Chuck Liddell
* Rich Franklin vs. Matt Hamill
* Martin Kampmann vs. Nate Marquardt
* Karo Parisyan vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida
* Dan Henderson vs. Rousimar Palhares
PRELIMINARY CARD
* Kurt Pellegrino vs. Thiago Tavares
* Jason Day vs. Jason Lambert
* Matt Brown vs. Dong Hyun Kim

The only fights I'm actually interested in are Karo/Yoshida and maybe Hamil/Franklin.
The card has a lot of names, but the fights don't really interest me

Rashad Evans vs. Chuck Liddell- Rashad could give him problems or it could be chuck dominating a wrestler again, we'll see
* Rich Franklin vs. Matt Hamill- interested to see how Rich does with Matt being bigger then him
* Martin Kampmann vs. Nate Marquardt-should be a good fight
* Karo Parisyan vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida-see above

This card has UFC 72 and 78 written all over it. Great names but not great matchups. If you took the same names and matched them up differently, then you're talking but these matchups are just ho hum and don't do a lot for rankings.

I really don't think Chuck vs Rashad will be all that exciting for main event.
Dan Henderson vs. Rousimar has the most potential.

Tavares/Pelligrino and Karo/Yoshida are the only ones who interest me.
ring rust is gunna hamper Chuck/Rashad big time, and the fight already looked like shit IMO. ima still watch the show, but its only because i love MMA lol

Im excited for all of the main card fights man. Haven't seen Chuck in a while so Im stoked to see that. Im interested to see Franklin back at LHW, and Hammill is no joke. Should be a good fight.
Lookin forward to seein Hendo get back on the winning track too.
The fight Im LEAST lookin forward to is Karo, I dont give a shit about that guy.
