Josh Koscheck Anderson Silva and Little Nogueira all had to pull out of fights due to injury

My Predictions:

Couture will outlast Coleman and outpoint him.
Marquardt TKO's Sonnen. Sonnen is on a roll but Marquardt is just too big and too skilled.
Miller outpoints Maia. Two submission experts lot of grappling might be boring. Miller has the better gas tank.
Serra TKO's Trigg.
Swick TKO Thiago. I think Swick gets back to the W.

Award Predictions:
KO of the Night - Marquardt
Sub of the night - Rolles Gracie Jr.
Fight of the Night - Brian Stann vs Phil Davis. Stann is a former Marine and WEC Champ, and Davis is the 2nd best prospect in the Light Heavy division (behind Jon Jones).

they'll be better than 108. simply for the fact you cant do worse than 108

[Tigercannon71]

The thing that sales this card is Randy-Coleman and thats it. Its hard to put on a good card when your best fighters Spider, GSP, Brock are all hurt. Plus the fact you cant fight in a moths notices leaves guys like Pennm Guida, Machida and otrhers off. so you gotta make do with lesser fighters. you cant always have a jam packed card.

[The_Legend_of_Northwest]

Hang onto your hats cause starting @ 111 up through 114 are looking great.

111:
GSP vs Dan Hardy
Frank Mir vs Shane Carwin
Martin Kampmann vs Ben Saunders
Thiago Alves vs Jon Fitch

112:
BJ Penn vs Frankie Edgar
Anderson Silva vs Vitor Belfort
Matt Hughes vs Renzo Gracie

113:
Lyoto Machida vs Shogun Rua
Josh Koscheck vs Paul Daley
Kimbo vs Matt Mitrione
Alan Belcher vs Patrick Cote
Forrest Griffin vs Little Nog

114:
Rashad vs Rampage (that alone might be worth the money)


Praying for No injuries.

[Tigercannon71]

Isnt Ortiz-Liddell scheduled for one of those too. 112 looks to be an awesome card. Only thing bad right now really Silva, GSP, and Penn are the top of their classes. They really dont have any competition.

good info legend --thanks for the info about upcoming cards MD

I would say Ortiz-Liddell will take place at 116 because the Ultimate Fighter Finale is scheduled for June 19 which is after UFC 115. And the Coaches usually go at it after the finales if memory serves correct.

[Tigercannon71]

I watched the prelims on Spike it was 2 pretty decent fights. I figured Couture would be Coleman. Did you watch them cause I was reading something it said tito was trash talking Coleman as he came to the ring.

[The_Legend_of_Northwest]

I only watched the prelims on Spike. I read play by play from sherdog it didnt mention anything about Tito. Tito Ortiz has no right to trash talk anyone, he hasnt won a fight in over 3 years.

[The_Legend_of_Northwest]

Read that Tito yelled 'Payback's a b****. at Coleman. Still have no clue what Tito is trying to do.

Side Note: Dana White said that last night was probably the last time we'll see Mark Coleman in the UFC.

There was a lot of trash talking between the two for quite some time (when isn't there trash talking when Tito's name pops up) Tito was trying to be Tito a verbal bad a** the guy has honestly no impressive wins he beat Ken Shamrock wow what was he like 500 years old, he beat Forest once and that was when he was extremely young and he beat Vitor Belfort a long time ago but a rematch would go the other way.

Unless Pride gets brought back (I think I heard somewhere Zuffa is suposed to be doing so) that is probably Coleman's last fight
