Sweet. My favorite 205 fighter vs. Bruce Leeroy.

Instant buy.

I'll need another good fight on the undercard before I buy but I like it and its the only fight that makes sense.

I'm still puzzled that Rampage wants to beat Evans so bad that he passed up a title shot.

I feel bad for Rua, he is going to lose again in the this one. They better pack the under card because this isn't a very exciting fight.

Kind of boring to me - Rua doesn't deserve a title shot, but I guess they didn't have anyone else they felt did.

Re: Machida vs Shogun...UFC 104

I'm still a Rua supporter, but I'm not sure he deserves this fight either. Then again, with Rampage out there's not many other options. He beat Mark Coleman in a horrific fight and knocked out an aging Chuck. I'd put my money on Machida versus anyone these days, but I hope Shogun shows some old flashes of himself. He used to be such an awesome fighter to watch.

Fixed. I mean I love Chuck, I mean I used to go to the Pit North to workout, but he should have hung them up after the Wandy fight. He landed solid punches for 3 rounds and couldn't finish him. For the sake of this fight I hope the Old/Younger Rua shows up.

Re: Machida vs Shogun...UFC 104

I actually think this may be a good matchup. He is great in the clinch, and I feel he will be able to neutralize LMs BJJ. I also know for a fact that SG will not be afraid to enguage like Sugar was.

This is the only type of fighter that will be able to give LM any trouble IMHO. Im not sure Page would fit the bill. Then again, Page is strong as hell and can take a hell of a punch.

I think it's weak but I hope they prove me wrong - I would bet the house on Machida since he's in his prime and Rua is clearly sliding

Yes, Shogun is obviously on the decline at age 27. I guess being plauged with injury over the last two years has nothing to do with that.
