The card tonight look decent, I like all the brazilians on it. Fabricio Camoes is a Royler Gracie BJJ blackbelt and I"ve read that he fought a barenuckle fight at 17 years old with Anderson Silva that lasted over 25 minutes. He makes his UFC debut against Caol Uno (don't now why this is not on the main card). Lil Nog vs Luiz Cane might be fight of the night and Paulo Thiago could have been fighting GSP before his loss by decision. There seems to be alot Gracie trained fighters coming to UFC lately. I don't know why cause the refs and Judges are ussually anti ground game.

I like the card. I want to see Johnson knock Koscheck into next week and Baroni get subbed. As for Tito/Griffin, yeah, who cares?



Tito Ortiz vs. Forrest Griffin
Josh Koscheck vs. Anthony Johnson
Paulo Thiago vs. Jacob Volkmann
Luiz Cane vs. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira
Amir Sadollah vs. Phil Baroni

Undercard may not be broadcast:
Ben Saunders vs. Marcus Davis
Kendall Grove vs. Jake Rosholt
Brock Larson vs. Brian Foster
Caol Uno vs. Fabricio Camoes
George Sotiropoulos vs. Jason Dent

I personally think the Koscheck/Johnson winner has a better chance against GSP than Dan Hardy. But it doesn't really matter because WW in the UFC goes like this

GSP
Jon Fitch
Everybody else

I just watched Kim Dong Yun's fight against Jason Tan, he looks impresive at WW. I'm actually kind of pumped for the Tito fight. From the pre fight hype show I watched earlier he seems to be fully healthy.

I do not see it this way, I see it as anti lay-n-hug. If you are not interested in transitioning to subs or causing damage go to a freakin' grappling tourny.
