or is it just me? Hell, a main event for lidell and jardine after they both got their asses beat down?...who would want to see
that? OK, so some die hard chuck fans may want to see if the
jackson thing was a fluke, or if he is indeed as old & tired as he appeared in that one. But why Jardine?....maybe they should
have put chuck in with that guy who destroyed jardine.
and what's it say when a non-champion in Pride destroys what is touted as your best guy (UFC)? So no matter who wins
between jackson and henderson, you have a Pride guy ruling
what was supposed to be the UFC's best class...

UFC 74 and 75 will be awesome. UFC 76 and 77 will be horrendous.

205 is the UFC's best class? On what planet? 170 has been hyped as the deepest division for years.
The Jackson thing isn't a fluke. Rampage is just better than Chuck. Chuck is talked up as the best and Dana fooled all of the people who have never seen PRIDE's 205. Chuck is about to fall in line with Tito. He'll always chase but he'll never hold the belt again.
Jardine vs. Liddell sells to the stupid fans. They're both coming off losses, and apparently Jardine was getting the next shot at Chuck if he was to beat Rampage. What they need to do is start hyping the debut of Shogun ALOT more. Having Jardine and Liddell plastered everywhere alone isn't enough. UFC Unleashed dedicated to Shogun. That's the only solution. It's a good enough card, they just aren't playing the strong points.

Oh hell no you didn't!?!?!? If you are any what of a long time UFC supporter, you would know that Dan Henderson started out there. Dan now holds two belts in Pride! How can you say that the Rampage/Henderson fight will be an amazing fight? Non-champion? You have no idea what you are talking about! Dan started in UFC a long time ago, remember that? Probably not. Those that love the sport, who have known it a very long time will want Dan to win, just because he was one of the few who was there in the beginning and has continued getting better at his craft! Perhaps you should do some research before you throw out questions like this! By the way, you did realize that Dana bought Pride? Research does miracles!

I'm looking forward to these next events but I think because the last few events have sucked so much, it is kind of hard to get pumped for it right now until they put on a good one. Frankly Stacked sucked balls, so did the one in Ireland, so did the Rampage Liddell one. UFC's best class is welterweight with GSP, Hughes,BJ Penn, Diego, Karo, Koscheck, and Serra. I always thought UFC's 205 was kind of weak until now. Now it is loaded. Here is the main thing I see between UFC and Pride FC. Pride would just put the best fights together no matter what even if they had to do it without no title on the line. The UFC likes to build up their champions and protect them. They like put these fights together with big names even though the fights suck like Hughes vs. Gracie, Shamrock vs. Ortiz, those guys should have never touched a main event. Then they gave Couture a title shot even though he was knocked out twice by Liddell and did not really do anything to deserve that shot. They just gave it to him because he is legendary and popular, and they were sick of Sylvia. All those years who did Franklin ever fight, nobody. When he fought someone good, he lost.

dana white should hype up (something he seems to be good at) the Pride fighters like he does with ufc fighters, so UFC fans can be more familiar with them. Alot of the fighters in pride started in ufc.
jardine is supposed to be stepping stone for chuck's attempt to regain a titile shot, and alexander houston was supposed to lose to jardine. but like any fight, it can go either way. everyone's got a puncher's chance, thats what it looked like when rampage fought liddell.
they need to put better cards together, and implement a ranking system. it seems like they just throw fights together to sell tickets sometimes.

I think all of it is losing it.They need a big tournament with a lot of heavy hitters fighting,under some major financing.
