I think Deigo Sanchez should've fought Clay Guida before Thiago Alves.

You idiot, Clay Guida is lightweight and Diego is welterweight. Will somebody smack this guy on the side of his head.

Dana White is the Vince McMahon of MMA,we all know that,and THAT is why Brock Lesner is getting a title fight with Randy.Money talks BS walks.It should be a good one,but I'm going for my boy Randy.Brock's still too wet behind the ears.Don't get me wrong,he's a tough,and fast guy,but you're going against a living legend baby.

The only surprise for UFC 90 for me was that Sean Sherk won.

No surpirse at all. In fact, Sherk by close decision was my prediction.
I have no idea why people underestimate Sean.

I didn't get the chance to see the fights tonight, how did Koscheck look like against Thiago Alves?

what surprises me is that, COTE last for 3 rounds. Most of SILVA's fights lasts 1 round only.

I think GSP and Silva would be a great matchup! GSP is the only one out there right now that would give Silva a fight. I'm suprized
Dana White is not trying to set this fight up...

Eric said...
Silva is WAY to big for GSP ... Silva has avoided going up to 205 because he wants Machida (his friend) to compete for the belt there, but he needs to move up in weight to prove himself.

all i know out of 5 stars i give the night a 3 1/2 i'm handicapped and was sitting in the handicaped section when allstate arena personel placed 5 drunken jerks in our area the fun of going to this event turned very sour. the only handicapp they had was the amount of beer they were comsuming and their vulgar loud mouths. then after how many years and how many more years will it take for the rosemont police to learn traffic control in exiting the arena, 1 hour is totally unacceptable. other than that the fights were mostly entertaining.

I would like to see Brock Lesnor step in with Fedor . Fedor would stomp a mud hole in his chest!

I love the UFC but why is Brock Lesner getting a title shot at Randy Couteure after 2 fights? Sounds like a clause in the contract.

In his prime, Couture would school Fedor. C'mon, he's now what, 10-12 years older and in his mid 40s.

Killshot - when Randy was "in his prime" he was losing to Ricco and Barnett .... Fedor is much more dangerous than those guys. Randy is a great competitor, but he isn't in the same class as Fedor.
