[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Schaub vs Johnson both get bumped to mid card after getting destroyed respectively in their last fights. Pretty lame but anything with Condit on the card makes it a must watch. Carlos is going to silence the haters that day (I wish), he doesn't have much of a shot against GSP.

Love the Kampmann/Hendricks fight.

Be interesting to see how GSP's repaired knee fares against Condit's stiff leg kicks I guess, still don't give CC too much of a shot in that one either way.

If GSP comes in 100% healthy I see him winning pretty decisively to be honest. If Condit can stop any of his takedowns, he's in good shape for sure, but GSP has improved his striking, and showed that he's not necessarily limited to just his wrestling.. as shown in the Shields fight.

But, GSP was known for his striking before he got tko'd by Serra.

It's just been ever since then he's been gushy and who can blame him? There are people who harp on this guy or that guy not liking to get hit, but seriously.....who does?

They are fighters, not masochists.

Finally GSP will be back in the Octagon. Been such a long time since he last fought and there have been a couple of false starts on the way. Be interesting to see how GSP bounces back from the injury. Hoping that Condit can do well and I wonder if he can somehow break the trend and not go to a decision with GSP. Kampmann vs. Hendricks should be really good as well and I hope that Kampmann will be able to walk away with the win.

That's true but this is a more mature GSP. Like I said though if GSP is healthy he should win this fight primarily by using his wrestling.

I see a multitude of takedowns being executed on Condit in that fight.

 

[Deezy]

I see this buildup being extremely boring.

I completely agree. Condit won't say anything negative about GSP. GSP won't say anything against Condit. They'll both be rather well behaved at press conferences. There won't be any sort of hostility. No form of anything until fight night and that is when something will finally start. But until then... zzzzzzz

 

[The Cork]

The only entertainment will be Dana continuing to trash Greg Jackson.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Patrick Cote vs. Alessio Sakara has been added to this card.

What did you expect? St. Pierre and Condit are both respectful fighters that clearly aren't into the whole trash talking thing. There isn't Nick Diaz around to start some buzz.

It's so much because they are respectful fighters, more of the fact that Jackson ties will make this sooo saccharine sweet that it would be vomit inducing.

 

[Dod Draper]

Will be interesting to see how GSP has recovered from his ACL injury. Very serious injury for any athlete, even with medical advancements. Hopefully he'll be just as strong as he was before.

Lawlor somehow finds himself 3rd from top of the card despite dropping 3 of his last 5.
