So, UFC has Ultimate Fight Night next week. TV matches:
Diego Sanchez Vs. Karo Parisyan Chris Leben Vs. Jorge Santiago Dean Lister Vs. Yuki Sasaki Josh Koscheck Vs. Jonathan Goulet UFC 62 has: Chuck Liddell Vs. Renato Sobral Forrest Griffin Vs. Stephan Bonnar Thiago Alves Vs. Josh Neer Wes Combs Vs. Wilson Gouveia Cory Walmsley Vs. David Heath Yushin Okami Vs. Alan Belcher Cheick Kongo Vs. Christian Wellisch Hermes Franca vs. Jaime Varner There is also a rumor of Mir vs Vera to beef up this card. Will be interesting to see how the Babalu/Liddell fight goes. Looking up Sobral's fight history, he's got some interesting opponents under his belt: Fedor, Kohsaka, Tamura, Fulton, Henderson, Illoukhine and Valentijn Overeem. And that was just his time in Rings. If he can get it to the ground, Liddell might be in trouble. I'm pretty sure Sobral will avoid the high kick this time. Since that last loss to Liddell in 2002, he hasn't been in any trouble at all. (Including choking out Shogun Rua) They keep teasing a Liddell/Wanderlei fight, if Liddell wins. No idea what happens with a Sobral win. They also say that Rich Franklin will return against Anderson Silva on the same PPV as a potential Silva/Liddell match. Also, Brock Lesnar has been training at Pat Miletich's camp for some months now and is expected to jump into MMA. Not sure if he'll be able to fight in the US or not. The Pride show in Vegas has released ticket prices. To view the link you have to Register or Login Hopefully, my contact at Dream Stage can hook me up with tickets. The press release hints at Fedor, Coleman, Baroni, Barnett, Randleman and Yoshida fighting. The only 2 I feel comfortable that will be fighting on this show are Baroni and Yoshida. Coleman is returning to the US soon, either on this show or UFC 63. Not sure if Barnett will get clearance to fight in Vegas.

I think Chuck will easily overwhelm Babalu. He's got the best sprawl in the game. He avoided the great Randy Couture's takedown shots, so Babalu will really struggle to get Chuck to the floor. IMO the Ultimate Fight Night has the more interesting fights. Sanchez faces his toughest fight yet with Parisyan, in a fight i think could go either way. Dean Lister vs Yuki Sasaki will be another tough fight, with both fighters being ground experts it'll just be down to who's most up for it on the day. I hope the add Mir vs Vera to the UFC 63 fight card, cos other than the main event and Griffin vs Liddell, i don't have a huge amount of interest in any of the other fighters. The only downside is the fact that Frank Mir is a million miles away from the level of fitness required to compete at a decent level, meaning that Brandon Vera could get yet another big scalp, without a huge amount of effort. It's a shame about whats happened to Mir. He was great to watch before the bike accident, but looks a shadow of his former self since. So, FB. What are your predictions for the fights? Shall we all predict: 1. The winner 2. What round they'll win in 3. How they'll finish the fight What do ya reckon?

Has anyone seen TUF 4? The show with the old UFC fighters in it? There's a pretty good line-up, with a few of my preferred fighters in there, like Chris 'Lights Out' Lyttle and Matt 'The Terror' Serra.

BTW, your boy GSP is out of the match with Hughes with a pulled groin muscle. BJ Penn will step in for the fight instead at UFC 63.

Did you see UFC62? What a show! Forrest looks infinitely better. You can see the benefit he's had of working with Randy Coutoure. I liked the look of Cheick Kongo as well. He's got the the speed and agility of Andre Arlowski, but the power of Cabbage/Sylvia. He looks pretty exciting, but then again, its not difficult to look exciting in the heavyweight division of the UFC is it?!

I've been watching the Ultimate Fighter 4. Its a good idea and given that all but one of the participants have never been offered a title shot means that we get some fresh blood so to speak challenging at the top for a change.
I am a relative newcomer to MMA but have seen some old fights involving Josh Barnett in the UFC. They should try and get him back - he would shake up the heavyweight division a bit.

I can't see Barnett returning to the UFC, not while the money & HW competition is still with Pride. And whilst on the subject of 'roids, Stephan Bonnar failed a test after the Griffin fight.
