My UFC 100

[Chach]

Not bad. Only things I would worry about is Rashad and Jardine come from the same camp so there is no way they will fight each other for the title. Plus Jardine's last two fights have not been championship caliber. Quick KO by a washed up Wanderlei and deserving a decision of the **** Vera. Don't forget that Marquart and Gouveia are fighting on UFC 95 I believe and while I like Marquart, Wilson has looked good at 185. But I agree, winner of that fight faces the Maia/Sonnen winner.

You really want to see that Kampmann/Fitch fight, don't you? Considering Kampmann just fought on the undercard this weekend and Fitch is slated to be on the undercard in his next fight, I doubt that fight would be a main card fight when Sadollah and Davis are on the card. Davis has put together some impressive wins recently and is grade A main card material. Another good fight and he's in the #1 contender mix. No way Sadollah ends up on the undercard so soon after TUF. Same probably goes for Danzig. They'd rather have them on Fight Night main cards than prelim PPVs. mahalo

The thing they definitely won't do is stack the preliminary card with fights they could put on another PPV.

No matter what they end up doing, I think it's pretty clear that they will be spreading themselves pretty thin with UFC 100, so they will want to hold a little something back for the shows right after.

Like a few have said I doubt they super stack this - but I could definatly see some interesting fights. It depends how much they really put stock into "100" or if they'd rather save up for a great card like they did with 92 at the end of the year.

I exepect a good main card, but nothing like 2 or 3 title fights or anything, maybe some guys fighting to get title shots come the end of the year.

Danzig and Sadollah really don't have the fan base of the earlier TUFer's so I'm not so sure that putting them on a main crad for something would accomplish much.

[Cammo101]

Sadollah has a decent fan base because of his underdog status.

All these cards just look like good, but ordinary, UFC fight cards. That would be a mistake for UFC 100. They need to make it stand out. A possible Rashad/Jardine main event would wow no one. Also, those 2 are good friends and may not even want to fight.

[Chach]

It's not that they are good friends, it that they are in the same training camp. No way two guys from the same camp fight each other for a title. I've seen guys express their lack of desire for a title for less (notably Silva not wanting to gun for the LHW title right now because he wants Machida to get first dibs).

Griffin was the winner of season 1, he won the LHW title. Rashad won season 2 and he's the current champ. The UFC definitely wants to pimp these guys out and try to cultivate their popularity and have their success available to that they won't sneak up on fans if they become legit contenders. I don't think I've seen Danzig fight on a UFC card because they have him on free Fight Night cards since I started following MMA. If he makes it onto a UFC card, they definitely want to work winner of TUF angle so if they win they can build up their visibility and if they pull a Travis Lutter then they can wash their hands of them. Either way, they don't want to waste a potential marketing angle on a prelim card over someone like Martin Kampmann. mahalo

Thats the problem with the UFC. TUF is completely watered down from what it was in the early stages so now they're hyping guys who aren't going to be on the main event level. Guys like Kampmann and Wilson are quality fighters who have the potential to be main eventers. I know that I personally would rather see Wilson and Kampmann fighting than Sadollah and Danzig.

I think GSP versus Alves is a more likely situation.

Lesnar vs Mir
Rashad vs Rampage
Penn versus Florian
GSP vs Alves

Four of the major belts would be on a general time-line for it. Silva is the only one fighting reasonably close to the date and would be out. This could definitely water down the talent pool for the next month or two but if you put that card on display at Madison Square Garden, with all the titles but one on the line then you have the makings of some insane money. You could even line up some old timer fights like Chuck-Randy IV but Liddell has a fight coming up in the next few months so he's probably out. I really dislike doing that, or bringing back Shamrock vs Gracie when both are so far past their peaks. Hughes vs Serra might be a good match-up for a non-title belt. mahalo
~Chach~

I could definitely see that happening. There's so many other non-title fights they could have before and after so there's no need to worry about that. Like someone else said we still have the TUF fights around that time (Bisping-Hendu) and Serra-Hughes just to name a few.

Lesnar-Mir II
Rashad Evans-Rampage
GSP-Alves
Penn-Florian

....wow

[CPT]

Lesnar vs. Mir is happening in May at UFC 98 I think.

I could see them doing 3 title fights though I guess.

Rashad vs. Rampage
GSP vs. Alves
BJ vs. Florian

GSP vs. Silva obviously isn't happening, so I guess 3 title fights would be something special.

[Cammo101]

How sick would this be...


UFC 100: Back to the Begining

Geroges St. Pierre vs. Thiago Alves (WW Title Fight)
Anderson Silva vs. Robbie Lawler (MW Title Fight)
Matt Hughes vs. Matt Serra

8 man Welterweight Tourney (winner gets a title shot)

Josh Kosckeck vs. Marcus Davis
Jake Shields vs. Mike Swick

Carlos Condit vs. Anthony Johnson
Jon Fitch vs. Karo Parysian

Alternate fight: Ben Saunders vs. Dustin Hazelett


Chuck Liddell and Matt Hughes indicted into the UFC Hall of Fame.

All fights aired on PPV.

[cowboyronnie]

Some debuts of EliteXC fighters would be sweet, yeah.

I don't think Lawler would walk in to a title shot.
