looks like a great card(or at least on paper).
lhw campionship-
5 units chuck liddell -300 over babulu.
alot of people have been waiting for this rematch as have i. babulu will fight anyone and that also includes fedor. he has some of the best submission skills on the planet. but that is where the HUGE mismatch is against liddell. chuck has the best takedown defense in the ufc and has that incredible awkward looping ko power. liddell is a very bad matchup for babulu and wins by ko again.
4 units griffen -240 over bonnar-
for whatever reason both these fighters are in different roads in their early careers. forest continues to progress and even when his tank seems empty he saves the best for last. griffen is off his war with tito while bonnar is off a close dec win over jardine and a very lackluster performance against evans(who to me is just a good wrestler with decent striking but no kind of sub skill). ever since their classic fight bonnar has been relegated to 2nd tier fights on spike tv while forrest has already fought in front of 20,000 rabid fans on tito's turf. i expected alot more from bonnar but he seems like a class b fighter who will be left fighting at the hard rock on spike. the big pay per view crowd will be too much for bonnar to handle and i look for an easier than expected win for griffen as he continues his climb up lhw division.:money:
