Maybe, but is there going to be prelims for this card?
Dustin Hazelett is one of my favorite fighters and him vs Rick Story will be a good fight.
Thiago Silva vs Tim Boesch
Dustin Hazeletet vs Rick Story
That would be a pretty good spike prelim card.

Dustin Hazelett is from Cincy, I live about ten minutes south of Cincy. I hope he can work on his standup though, so he dont get KOed again.

Yea he is great on the ground. I think he stands to upright and does not tuck his chin well enough in the stand up. He has a very upright posture which I think leads to him eating shots to often.

His two losses though, are to Kos and Daley, both have good KO power and Daleys left hook is brutal.

Hey Oakland what's the excuse for the poor ticket sales?

This card is so stacked you have Thiago Silva fighting in the pre-lims. It sucks to see a crappy UFC market get such a good card when there's better deserving markets out there.

War JDS! 1st round TKO for JDS and he'll be next in line for a shot at the HW title.

Solid card.

I was at the show in Columbus where he got beat by Koscheck. That sucked.
