For me there are alot of guys I’m cheering for this fight card, but no fights between any of my favorites. So it’s a good card, but not awesome. Still probably better than UFC 86, a one-great-fight show.

Georges St-Pierre Vs. Jon Fitch

Story wise I am hoping GSP can dominate Jon Fitch to allow for the possibility of a Super Fight against Anderson Silva. Even though Jon Fitch looks pretty good.

Brock Lesnar Vs. Heath Herring

Fight wise I should be picking Heath Herring, but I have to cheer for Brock. If Brock wins the UFC will almost instantly give him a title shot (maybe one more fight). Then he somehow underdog wins that fight… it would be awesome for the show. (Like Forrest winning.) Experience/Skill wise I can’t see that happening. Maybe he would have to headliner fight Kimbo Slice for dueling media celebrity star status.

Kenny Florian Vs. Roger Huerta

I’m still not a big fan of this weight class yet… kinda just want to see BJ Penn take another shot at Georges St-Pierre.

Jason MacDonald Vs. Demian Maia

Jason has to dominate a couple more fights for his next title shot. Hopefully he can do this to avoid staying as UFC stepping stone for other rising stars.  

Cheick Kongo Vs. Dan Evensen

Cheick’s been fighting better lately. He’s put in enough time that a title shot would be OK. But the heavyweight division is so tough now that he just might be outta time/luck.
