I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Wanderlei Silva announcement. Looks like UFC signed him up for 3 fights. The first will be a Liddell/Silva fight towards the end of the year. At some point, I'm sure he will try to get revenge for a Tito Ortiz loss as well. Word on the street is that Fujita, Baroni, Nakamura and perhaps other Pride fighters are appearing on a UFC card later this year as well. With possibly Arlovski going the other way for a couple of fights.

The Silva announcment was the highlight of an otherwise disapointing show for me. Its an interesting situation as for this fight to draw the UFC are going to have to build up Silva and as a result build up Pride aswell.
Sylvia called out Fedor after the show aswell which I'd normally take as BS(espeically considering the likely outcome) but doesnt seem so impossible anymore. |

Can Chuck KO Silva with one shot as he comes forward? How well will Chuck hold up in extended exchanges? How well will Silva ajust to UFC rules? |

The Tito vs Shamrock fight was very disappointing. The stoppage was too premature, although Tito in truth would probably have won the fight moments later. The Pitbull vs Sylvia bout was cack.
Pitbull's tactics were incredibly dumb and he deserved to lose. He did not try and ground Sylvia once, which was particularly stupid when he beat him on a submission in a prevous fight. Sylvia throws too many arm punches and would be destroyed by a journeyman heavyweight boxer. |

The best fight had to be Joe 'Daddy' Stevenson vs Yves Edwards. That was a proper war!

Terrible card overall.
The most exciting thing, obviously, was the Silva-Liddell announcement. Wanderlei has to be a slight favourite, but it's a tough fight to call. Should be great, if one of them doesn't get injured. The second most noteworthy thing was when the crowd was giving a chorus of 'bullshit' during the AA-Sylvia fight and Goldberg said "the crowd are chanting pitbull". I hate him so much. |

Randy was much improved this time round though. I think him and Joe Rogan would be a good comentary team. Randy sounded dumb as f*ck on Ultimate Fight Night, but sounded ok this time. Is Fedor coming to the UFC at any time? The Heavyweight division is a bit kack imo. We need some competition there. Also, when's Jens Pulver having his first fight back? I can't wait to see him again, he's an animal! Speaking of animals, what's happened to Ruthless Robbie Lawler? Haven't seen or heard about him in ages?

Tito was always going to destroy Ken Shamrock. I hope they don't have a rematch. Tito vs the winner of Silva vs Liddell would be a good one given Tito's high profile at the moment as a result of Ultimate Fighter 3.
Looking forward to seeing Bisping in his first proper UFC match. How long do they normally give the Ultimate Fighter guys before debuting them?

It looks like Arlovski tore up his knee in the 2nd round of the fight due to a Sylvia kick. He's already medically suspended from Nevada for 3 months pending the MRI results.
Gotta give Silva an edge over Liddell. I'm not sure that Liddell will be able to stop Silva's banzai attack. Liddell is going to have to work extra hard to keep Silva at a distance to land his shots while Silva is dashing to get inside on Liddell and do some dirty boxing on him. One UFC rule that might doom Liddell is the ability Silva will have to use his elbows. Those things might be what ends up decimating Liddell. Read an interview with Silva where he said he is signed with Pride thru next summer. So UFC is apparently working with Pride on this deal. I suppose that they both saw the handwriting on the wall and decided to go into cahoots to keep their local competitors at bay. Silva also hinted that his semifinal opponent in the tourney will be Crocop. So that means that Barnett is against Minotauro.
