PRELIMINARY CARD (un-televised)

* Jason MacDonald vs. Nate Quarry
* Ed Herman vs. David Loiseau
* David Bielkheden vs. Mark Bocek
* Ryo Chonan vs. T.J. Grant

Cant wait for this one. After the spiders last performance was so heavily criticised, i think he will look to decimate his opponent.

Congo v hardonk will be good too. I predict a kickboxing match :D

I've heard reports that Silva was quite annoyed that his fans thought he wasn't giving it 100% and going in for the finish so early so i think we could see some fireworks :) On the other hand Leites has a punchers chance like any other opponent he has faught, even more so if Silva is looking for the KO early off the bat. I predict 2mins of dancing and feeling out then KO near the start of the second.

I'm quite interested in how Liddell and Shogun will pan out, should be a very interesting fight; that is if Shogun can get to the cage without gassing (harsh i know :D). Krzysztof is a good fighter but i don't know too much about Stann.

Konko will clearly just knee Hardonk where it counts....

I also think that Cane will TKO Cantwell. Cantwell is well rounded but doesn't really have anything his is great at imo.

Anyways we have a fightnight before UFC 97. Get to see Bader and Efrian fight again :) Oh and that chump Junie haha :D

Yeah Krysztof was my favorite fighter on the last season of TUF, so hope he does well.

Fight nights are always good, hope junie gets hammered but sods law.. he will no doubt win lol
 
I'm looking forward to the Kongo v Hardonk fight, as the Dutchman is always exciting, much like Overeem.

Silva will have a first round win I think and Chuck will take Rua, as for the rest, they could go either way.
