So, what about this weekend's UFC? I thought it sucked, but after seeing Pride's card I think it sucks a little less. The main event is a joke, GSP vs. Serra is a horrible match. This one is not even close.
There's a couple interesting undercard fights though. Swick vs. Okami actually interests me, they've both been looking pretty good lately and it could end up being a very good fight. I'll give the nod to Okami though, I'd love to see him up against Silva.
Diego vs. Koscheck is another one people are interested in, but I'm not so much. I can't stand either of the guys, and Koscheck on a PPV makes me sad. He takes the boredom of an Arona fight and subracts about 75% of the talent. He's effective though, so he might have a shot, I guess it's for the TUF fans.
Curious to see if Herring can bounce back and at least show SOMETHING. While his time has passed, he's usually at least entertaining. He can't do worse than his last outing.

I just figured Frye would be a favorite due to his name/past, but while I haven't seen his recent fights I heard it's not pretty. Then again, Thompson is the biggest sissy puncher I've ever seen (don't tell that to Yoshida though).
I actually think the UFN card on Thursday is almost as good as the UFC card on Saturday (and that's not a good thing). I'm looking to Diego cleaning Koscheck's clock. I like GSP, but I don't see much of a match there. Okami's a good matchup for Swick. But if Herring can't get past Imes, he may as well hang it up.
Looking forward to Guillard vs. Stevenson though.
