One of the few non title UFC events for the year is on this weekend which is ok with me as it gives us a chance to see a few more different fights on the card.

The main event is Randy “The Natural” Couture going up against Minotauro Nogueira “Big Nog” in a much anticipated heavyweight clash. Word round the campfire is that Big Nog has been knocked out several times in training leading me consider putting a big fatty on The Natural.

The Dean of Mean Keith Jardine will take on Thiago Silva who will be desperate to make up for a first round knockout at the hands of current light heavy weight champion Lyoto Machida. I love the Dean of Mean just because of his nickname alone and the fact he walks around everywhere wearing ‘Mean 1’ t-shirts.

I gotto get one.

Then we have a return of the drug banned Chris ‘the Crippler’ Leben taking on Jake Rosholt which should include a big dose of someone is going to sleep!

The second fight is going to be a great battle I am looking forward to just a much as the main event. Nate ‘the Great’ Marquardt versus Brazilian submission machine Demian Maia in a battle which will surely decide the next middleweight number 1 contender. I think the Great should get him but Maia is super dangerous from almost anywhere it seems, bodes well.

Opening fight is Brandon ‘the Truth’ Vera up against Krzysztof Soszynski which I think will end up in a KO on The Truth’s side.
