For middleweight I'd also like to see what Marquardt could do very well rounded and very tough, it would either be really close but more than likely really short.

I dont think he's back to his old self they just threw him a couple washed up fighters and gave him a title shot cuz the other big names were all booked. I never got the big deal over a Marquardt rematch, once it went to the ground he didnt hurt Silva, hardly affected him. Same with Hendo, olympic caliber wrestler takes him down for 3 minutes lands a nice amount of hammer fists that didnt really do any damage to Silva, he hardly attempted to get out and when he did he got out (when Hendo got into side control). Then it was time for the 2nd round and Silva dominated. Didnt let Hendo take him down, then when it got to the ground stayed on his ass and submitted him.
I dont think Maia is gonna beat Marquardt either. Have to re-watch their fights.
All I knoe is Im pumped for the next 3 cards
102: Couture V Nog Silva V Jardine Marquardt V Maia
103: Franklin V Belfort Trigg V Koscheck Griffin V Franca
104: Machida V Shogun Carwin V Valsquez Fisher V Stevenson Sherk V Tibeau Okami V Sonnen
Im gonna try to go to 104 since its in LA and that card is stacked as fuck!

Yeah I really am not convinced that Shogun is back to his PRIDE form.
I was really contemplating going to UFC 104 too, but to be honest, even though Stevenson, Sherk, and Okami are all big names, I'm not all too excited for any of their match-ups. The only match-ups I REALLY want to see is Machida vs Shogun and Carwin vs Valesquez.

Those 2 fights alone convinced me to go.

If Maia beats Marquardt I'd be shocked.
I agree Shogun doesn't deserve the title shot, and hes not at his PRIDE level yet, but he's slowly getting back to form and could cause trouble for a lot of guys.
Upcoming cards look sick can't wait for 102 and 104 but 103 looks pretty weak.
Unrelated but did you guys see the Miguel Torres Brian Bowles fight from sunday, great fight Bowles dropped him in the first in a Liddellesque KO while backing up.

Nah they havent gone on sale yet, they will in a few weeks tho. There are some tickets available right now but they're alot more than theyre worth, better to wait for them to officially go on sale. Im pretty sure the prices are gonna be $600.00, $400.00, $300.00, $200.00, $100.00, $50.00.

U can say that but we dont know for sure until he faces actual competition. I think 103 looks good with the addition of Crop Cop and Dos Santos. I didnt see WEC live, was waiting for my bud connect outside and ran back to the house to see the replay, pretty much everyone knew he was gonna lose, impressive KO tho!
