Nate moves down. Interesting.

Should be a pretty good main event.

Nate should be a nice test for Mr. Johnson. I'm looking forward to this fight a lot.

Same here. That should be a good fight. Waiting on other fights to be announced.

I hope Rumble improves his takedown defense. If not he could be in for a long night.

He's a better wrestler than Nate.

One of my favorites against a guy I really don't like and I don't know why. I hope Rumble smashes him though.

Rumble is a better wrestler. Koscheck just was better than him.

I like them both a lot. I just wanna see a great fight, and I don't see it going 3 rounds, but neither did I against Hardy-Johnson.

I hope you guys are right about his wrestling. I want to see him swin but I know is 2 of his 3 losses came on the ground so it would probably be in his best intrest to keep it standing.

He wrestled in high school, and I don't know if he did in college. He is very athletic though, and he can always strike. He didn't need to against Hardy, so he didn't.

If I'm not mistaken he wrestled in JUCO too.

Yep he was a JUCO national champ.

With all the talent now in the UFC, shouldn't there be more of these Fight Night events?

They really dont have more talent yet. The Strikeforce guys haven't come over yet and the WEC merger only lead to about 25-30 new guys. Also, there are 4 FN type events scheduled for this summer. The Ultimate Finale in June, this card, a FN event in early September and a rumored Milwaukee event in August.

Spike has a limit for the amount of cards they show also. I believe its only 4 per year or I might be thinking of the Versus deal.
