Another clash of the MMA titans. This time, they're takin' the fight to Germany.

Discuss this upcoming PPV (though I thought this would wind up on Spike) in this thread.

I know the UFC is not exactly wrestling, however, they book full-cards 2 months in advance?

Yeah, seeing as there isn't as huge of a storyline factor as it is with WWE/TNA.

I watched Marcus Davis previous fights and I'm not a shame to say that he is very impressive. I love his irish gimmick.

Link256

Yeah, sometimes they book full-cards more than 2 months in advance. And most fighters know about who they fighting even with more than two months to train, heal, study their opponent and whatnot.

The card has been finalized. Time to make your predictions.

Rich Franklin vs. Wanderlei Silva Rich Franklin over Silva by TKO

Cheick Kongo vs. Cain Velasquez Cheick Kongo by TKO in the first.

Mike Swick vs. Ben Saunders Mike the quick Swick over Saunders

Marcus Davis vs. Dan Hardy Dan Hardy over Marcus Davis

Spencer Fisher vs. Caol Uno Fisher just cause idk who Uno is
