UFC 98:Rashad Evans vs. Lyoto Machida **SPOILERS**

[ceego]

Got to disagree there.

Rich Franklin Vs. Wanderlei Silva should be a interesting fight and both fighters are exciting to watch.

Cheick Kongo Vs. Cain Velasquez should be a good battle

Davis vs Hardy whilst maybe not the most technical it will be a good battle

Mike Swick Vs. Ben Saunders should also be a interesting fight

Spencer Fisher Vs. Caol Uno another good match up

oh and the return of cro cop.

all round should be a good event although i have to say im looking forward to strikeforce next week






MAIN CARD (BEGINNING AT 9:00PM - CT):

Robbie Lawler (16-4) vs. Jake Shields (22-4-1) – 3X5 – 185Lbs

Andrei “The Pitbull” Arlovski (15-6) vs. Brett “The Grim” Rogers (9-0) 3X5

Nick “Bad Boy” Diaz (19-7) vs. Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith (16-5) – 3X5

Phil “New York Bad Ass” Baroni (13-10) vs. Joe “Diesel” Riggs (29-10) – 3X5 – 185Lbs

Kevin “Monster” Randleman (17-12) vs. Mike Whitehead (23-7) – 3X5 – 205Lbs


A cracking card.

That strikeforce card is lovely aint it each fight is just got a good look about it.

I think i'd rather have the ref stop things a little early everytime becuase if they start giving in to the pressure against those decisions you can garentee the first time they let a fight go on a bit longer someone will get seriously injured with brain damage or some such. Stopping fights like that is a snap decision to protect the fighters.

Lavigne was in a tough position as well, seeing as though he was already facing critisism for letting the fight go on too long at UFC 96

Yeah, I rewatched the stoppage and I can fully see why he stopped it, it was still early though, why not just wait and be sure. It is fighting after all, people are supposed to get hurt. It's not like he's going 12 rounds of boxing anyway.
