Great! Houston Alexander gets to fight in front of his home crown. It should be electric when he walks down to the octogon. I expect him to win by VISCIOUS KO!
Danzig-vs-Guida should be the fight of the night! Hope Danzig wins it!
Ed Herman has been kinda disapointing to me. He needs a big win to gain some momentum.
Nate Diaz should pull out another spectaclur win. The kid has skills and is very poised in the cage. I think he’s already better than his brother Nate!
According to Fightline.com this could happen!
GSP-vs-BJ Penn on New Years Eve??…..According to Fightline.com this could happen!
that can’t happen. why would they have fights in the middle of the week.
Fight nights are ALWAYS on wednesdays! Dont you follow the UFC?
As for me..this would be AWESOME…I am from South Dakota…so this would be a quick 2.5 – 3 hour drive…I would go if they confirm this soon enough…
I wonder if this will be apart of the announcement on Thursday?
I hope Guida destroys Danzig. Guida’s cardio and pace is insane. I thought he was going to beat Huerta..actually he was beating him….just not long enough to finish.
I am also on the Diaz bandwagon. The kid is badass and I hope to see him fight bigger and better names in the stacked LW division.
Houston Alexander came to the UFC like an invincible mad man but then got KO twice himself. Houston should easily be able to destroy Shcafer. I feel this match was given to Houston to get back on the winning side of things in front of his home crowd.
