Luke Cummo is fighting Edilberto Crocota, hopefully he is on the main card.

Unless his fight with Jardine was a fluke, Houston Alexander is going to be a force to be reckoned with.

True. Jardine might not be a great fighter but he's good, and certainly no push over. And Houston Alexander swatted him like a fly. We'll find out for sure after the Sakara fight whether he's for real or he got lucky.

I'm totally going to UFC 77 in Cincinnati. As soon as tickets go on sale i'm there. Right now theres a couple fights with the ME being Anderson Silva vs Rich Franklin ( amazing ME ). I'm hoping they add Fedors debut, but if Couture beats Gonzales at 74, i cant see how Fedor doesnt debut against Couture. More on that later.

Doesnt matter. Couture outclasses him in everything and Couture wont be dumb enough to walk right into a kick to the face. Plus unlike Cro Crop, Couture is pretty well versed in the cage if you know what i mean. Gonzaga wont win this fight.

I still stand by my pick of Gabe. Though I do hope Randy wins, I pick Gabe.

See the Russians want Fedor to have a warm up fight before he fights a big name in the UFC cause he's used to the 4 side ring and his team involves alot of communication. They're worried about the cage. So they want him to have a walk over fight to get used to it. If i'm Dana White, unless you're planning to hold Couture from action for about 5 to 6 months, you have to take advantage of the Couture train while its moving. You cant risk having Couture losing a fight before Fedor gets his shot. The biggest money UFC can dream of right now is Randy Couture vs Fedor for the title. So i dont think Dana would be happy with Fedor taking a warm up fight first. I'm not saying that Fedor is wrong for wanting to do so. I'm simply saying that Couture whos become a underdog hero this late in his career and nothing less then an absolute incredible story with what he's accomplished, vs Fedor who is widely considered the best MMA fighter in the world today. You cant just sit on that. You gotta cash in on that fight right away. You cant risk Couture fighting another fight after the Gonzaga fight and losing. Not to say he cant lose to Gonzaga. I just dont see it happening. If Couture beats Gonzaga, Dana will get Fedor signed and i dont see how he can possibly want Fedor having any other fight then the Couture fight. It will be the biggest fight in UFC history. It need to be cashed as soon as possible. While the Randy train is still moving full steam ahead cause if Randy loses a fight and loses that belt, he's probably retiring and they'll miss the Fedor vs Randy fight.

I agree,but if Fedor wants a ' warm up' fight beforehand i'd give it to him, I mean what are the chances he loses right? lol. But I wouldn't have Couture fight after this Gonzaga fight, until Fedor would win his debut match..then i'd make the Fedor/Couture match. So Randy would go like 4-5 months without a defense but that's ok..when has Serra defended his title? Oh that's right never! He's juast keeping it warm for Hughes according to Dana.

Serra and Hughes will be the coaches for The Ultimate Fighter 6 and then fight on ppv.
I think the idea is that they're hoping Hughes steps up and beats Serra so it'll set up Hughes vs GSP 3 |

GSP is gunna murder Josh Koscheck. Matt Hughes couldnt even take GSP down, i dont know what Koscheck can possibly do other then get karate kicked in the head and knocked out.

First of all i dont think Gonzaga is stronger. He's not better stand up. Randy's clinch is miles better and his wrestling ( which imo is second to no one ) will keep the fight on the ground. And you act like Randy is a stranger to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He beat Vitor Belfort twice and Belfort BJJ was so much better then Gonzagas right now. If thats all you're basing your opinion on, then sure i'll make a bet cause Randy will win this in 2 rounds. Go ahead and make a bet.

Realistically CroCop should have killed Gonzaga, but he came out like he was going to walk thru the fight which was not the thing to do against gonzaga. He didnt train in a cage, he didnt look like he warmed up much for the fight, and he came in with almost no intensity. He thought he was too good for UFC and he got put in his place.
Dont think Im saying Gonzaga isnt the real deal because he is awsome. I could see him beating randy just as much as I can see randy beating him. however I can see Randy having the slight advantage because he has all the experience. I will go on to say this and you can bet me if you like, if The fight goes past the third round randy will win. also fedor is too professional to make his first fight a title fight. Theres no way in hell that he would accept it. He knows he needs a fight in the cage first and thats exactly what he will do. |

If Gonzaga beats Coture I bet Fedor's first fight will be against Gonzaga, and he will of course win.

what? no if gonzaga beats cotour then fedor would be able to have more than one tune up fights under his belt. If cotour wins then there will be pressure for a Randy Fedor fight to happen as soon as possible.

If Randy wins you cannot give Fedor a warm up match, you risk losing too much. They gave Mirko a warm up and look what happened to him, you can't risk Fedor coming in and getting beat before the title fight, you can't risk Randy defending and possibly losing the title against someone else. If Randy wins, then that has to be the next match.

Mirko was playing games. He wanted the title fight in his 4th fight so he could talk about a new contract whilst possibly being champion.

Dana White (and others) said he was putting off fighting for the title and wanted more warm up fights. Thoughts were he wanted to run down his contract and then could make a better deal if he was the champion.

Jeez can't you read? Where did I say anything about letting himself get KO'd? That would be the stupidest business move in the history of MMA.
I'm saying that instead of fighting for the title in his 2nd contract fight. he wanted 2 more fights before he fought for the title. If he wins the title in his 2nd fight, he had 2 more fights where he had to defend the belt before he could go to Dana White and renew his contract as champion. When you are the champ, your value shoots up. |

From where I was sitting in the MEN arena, I'd call Mirko an Olympic standard diver and an Oscar worthy actor if he threw that fight.

Spencer Fisher is out of his Fight Night main event against Din Thomas. UFC has already replaced him with Kenny Florian.
