UFC 97 Lineup Confirmed; K-Sos Only Canadian on Main Card

Now that they’ve got the green light from Montreal, the UFC has released the official lineup and bout order for UFC 97: Redemption, which will go down April 18th at Montreal’s Bell Centre. The event is headlined by the middleweight championship match between Anderson Silva and Thales Leites, and the true "redemption" match between sullied superstars Chuck Liddell and Mauricio Rua. Here’s how things will be arranged:

MAIN CARD
Anderson Silva vs. Thales Leites (for middleweight title)
Chuck Liddell vs. Mauricio Rua (LHW)
Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Brian Stann (LHW)
Cheick Kongo vs. Antoni Hardonk (HW)
Steve Cantwell vs. Luis Cane (LHW)

UNDERCARD
Denis Kang vs. Xavier Foupa-Pokam (MW)
Jason MacDonald vs. Nate Quarry (MW)
David Loiseau vs. Ed Herman (MW)
Mark Bocek vs. David Bielkheden (LW)
Ryo Chonan vs. TJ Grant (WW)
Sam Stout vs. Matt Wiman (LW)

It’s somewhat surprising that TUF 8 vet Krzysztof Soszynski is the only Canadian fighter on the UFC 97 main card, considering the north-of-the-border popularity of Denis Kang, Jason MacDonald, and David Loiseau; surely one of their bouts could have replaced Cane vs. Cantwell. The Montreal fans will just have to appreciate the undercard, which has a distinct "Canada vs. The World" flavor to it. Make your country proud, MacDonald and Loiseau, because Stout and Kang are pretty much dead weight at this point…

I can back up my own shit jerk-off-who-tried-to-steal-my-name. You see I have a life away from my computer, I know you can’t understand that, and I can’t sit here all day and wait for you to say something remotely clever. So your next comment can talk about what an asshole I am or call me a faggot or whatever. There’s something new on the home page so I’ll be reading that. Say whatever the fuck you like I’m done with this. I don’t know why I bother sometimes, you know?

Cheick Kongo vs. Antoni Hardonk (HW)
Steve Cantwell vs. Luis Cane (LHW)

No one gives a fuck about the first fight but we all want to see Spider fight that we dont really care anymore who he fights, so just his presences makes it ok. Besides, it could be worse. It could be Irvin or Cote again.

The 2nd fight is two guys on the way down but old farts will like this one. One more for the road and last one up, turn off the lights.

The 3rd one is a fucking joke and dont give me canadian content BS, the guy was born in Poland, had a dump in Canada lives in California. More fucking reality TV reject and guys who define mediocre.

The 4th is the HW gatekeeper who will try the latest flavor of the month, a prettyboy named Hardon who would have fit their gay livestyles reality show much better.

The 5th serves to remind us that Cantwell has as much class as his boss. Cane has beaten Bitchtits Lambert, the ‘contender’ Irvin and the now deflated one trick pony, Soukoudjou.

No way is this shit worth paying for.
There have been Fight Night shows that have had better cards than this. Hell, one of them had Silva too.

I also love how people call you out to fight from an undisclosed location, in the comfort of their home, probably in the basement, in a closet, with a laptop. I’ll check up on this shit talking later.

The most compelling fights on this card are on the undercard. The main event and the co-main event are already foregone conclusions. A. Silva will break out his new move – which consists of removing Leites still beating heart from his chest with his bare hands and Liddell is going to trip down the entrance ramp and knock himself unconcious….

You get a cauliflower asshole from “beat(ing) the shit out of all you idiots that call themselves the Potato Nation”? Do they beat us with their assholes? I assumed Matt told me that because of all the ass fucking they do that makes their assholes look like a cauliflower. But you would know best I guess.

Yeah, you have me all figured out there Molly Maid. Seriously, you have to be a closet fag and the reasons why are:
1) He trains in MMA but only practices his ground game of rolling around with smaller more submissive sweaty men.
2) He has pictures of nothing but Fatties on his MySpace and not a single hot chick (not even somewhere in the background trying to get out of the picture) in sight.
3) He even has a MySpace
4) He has a very descriptive vocabulary of odd homo activities and voices them frequently.
5) He talks about the dimes he banged or that were on his “knob”, and as usual has no way to prove it.
Time to let her out TUF girl you can’t live the lie anymore and the closet is getting a little cramped.

Steroids give you a cauliflower asshole, that’s why I take it. That and to beat the shit out of all you idiots that call themselves the Potato Nation, bunch of queers, yea I’m talking to you OBI and the two queers themselves (Bens). I will Ben(d) all of you over and take you to the woodshed like I do with all the niggers after I take Primobolene.

Jason MacDonald win or lose is always a great fight to watch. Hopefully there will still be enough time to throw it in before the pay-per-view is over.

Clozer and I 69 each other after we do steroids together and work out and get all sweaty so our taint can be extra tasty and salty. Right Clozer?

The sad thing is that TUF Guy is nowhere near as funny as Donny, who used to plague the Sherdog message boards. Really, Donny just unleashed a plague of awesomeness. Unlike the plague of homoness TUF Guy spews forth.
