Some nice talent on display on Versus tomorrow night.

Jon Jones vs. Vladimir Matyushenko
Mark Munoz vs. Yushin Okami
John Howard vs. Jake Ellenberger
Tyson Griffin vs. Takanori Gomi

It'll be interesting to see how Jones handles a veteran like Matyushenko.

Some good names on the card, but I'm not really that interested in any of the fights.

Two of the fights look to be squashes, with young guys running over has-beens with name value.

The other two are more competitive, but likely to be boring stylistically.

It's not like I'm not going to watch, but....meh.

Riddle's physique is crazy. What does that guy not have going for him in life? Bastard.

Volkman vs Kelly - that's a cool one. It'll be fit into the broadcast, I'm sure. Kelly's one of my absolute faves.

Gomi vs Griffin is also badass. Gomi better have done a lot of work on his striking style. I can't believe he tried to get away with such ridiculously looping punches against Florian. That somehow worked for him in his prime, and made him one of the most exciting ever (!), but it's not going to cut it anymore.

Those are the two I'm most excited for. Okama vs Munoz has a lot of talent, power and skill, I realize. But IDK.

I'm blown away that they have Matyushenko headlining. WTF?

I think Jones is going to have big trouble making weight in the future. He had to take off his shorts just to make 206 yesterday. He's very young and tall and you would assume he's only going to get bigger from this point.

Griffin vs. Gomi looks nice on paper, but Gomi got outwrestled by Florian; Griffin is going to go to work on him. Plus it seems like he just doesn't give a **** anymore, while Griffin is young and hungry.

I agree that he has little chance.

I like Griffin too, I'm surprised he hasn't put it all together and jumped into title contention.
