Isn’t the affliction fight July19th!!!! Why are so mny posts saying things like “Im not watching this fight, the affliction one will be better”???? Im I missing an affliction fight on July 5th??/??? or are people not that smart?

Also, I agree THER8GE the under card has VERY good fights, and will help me come out my depression watching UFC 85 which was the worst ufc that I can remember.

The undercard has some really intresting fights like first and foremost Griffin vs Aurelio i think that has potential of fight of the night and then theres Stevenson vs Tibau should make for another good fight and not to mention the classic striker vs grappler match up of Cote vs Almeida! So this card has a solid 4-5 good fights! As a huge mma fan reading some of u guys sayin theres no undercard leaves me surprised that these posts are on a mma website!!!!

All of the undercard (televised) fights could be very good. Have you ever seen a boring Tyson Griffin fight? Cote has looked very solid since being @ Sityodtong (sp). Koscheck learned how to punch, and Lytle will punch back. Lots of interesting stuff there, and then, bang!

Rampage v Griffin. Someone try to name a boring Rampage or Forrest fight. You just can’t do it. These 2 guys will bang all day, and wont stop till they get KO’d. Will be a war.

Im confused how I should feel about this title fight, Forrest is the man and I think it would completely legitamise The Ultimate Fighter if one of the winners can go on to win the strap.

On the other hand I would like to see Rampage vs Shogun/Lidell/Wanderlei again with more then just pride at stake, 5 rounds (not likely, but possible) would be awesome.

The under card only has 1 fight im interested in and I think I already know how its going to turn out, Cote vs Almeida.

If Lytle and Koscheck coming out fighting like they did in their last matches it could be a good match.

I am seriously not interested in the other fights though.

@ DutchKo:

Good suggestion, man! I was trying to think of some appropriate pre-fight entertainment!

Connor: [picking out weapons and gear] Do ya know what we need, man? Some rope.
Murphy: Absolutely. What are ya, insane?
Connor: No I ain’t. Charlie Bronson’s always got rope.
Murphy: What?
Connor: Yeah. He’s got a lot of rope strapped around him in the movies, and they always end up using it.
Murphy: You’ve lost it, haven’t ya?
Connor: No, I’m serious.
Murphy: Me too. That’s stupid. Name one thing you gonna need a rope for.
Connor: You don’t fuckin’ know what you’re gonna need it for. They just always need it.
Murphy: What’s this ‘they’ shit? This isn’t a movie.
Connor: Oh, right.
[picks up large knife out of Murphy's bag]
Connor: Is that right, Rambo?
Murphy: All right. Get your stupid fuckin’ rope.
Connor: I’ll get my stupid rope. I’ll get it. There’s a rope right there.

I’ll be watching this fight over affliktion for sure. Not a fan of Lurch Sylvia and his style. I’m sure he’ll just get 1-2′d quickly.
Forrest is entertaining as all hell, and I’ve enjoyed everyone of his fights. Rampage is great, but, ehhhhhhhhh, i don’t like him. Go Forrest Go ! Watch Boondock Saints before you fight man, it pumps everyone up
