UFC 167 - St. Pierre v. Hendricks

[jeremym480]

Well said, aholbert32.

Personally, I love the Mir/Reem match-up. Neither guy is a true contender for the belt anymore, so why not just let them have fights that the fans want to see? As much as I don't like either guy I really want to see them go at it. We have two guys who are still very skilled and who have two completely different styles. Both guys are on losing streaks and should be hungry to prove that their still in the Top 5 of the HW division. Styles makes fights and I anticipate this to be a good one.

Cerrone v. Dunham added to the card.

....

This is as must-watch of a card on paper as I could ask for.

GSP, Cerrone, and Woodley are three of my favorites. I like being able to hope that Sonnen is going to get beat. Mir/Reem is a nice name-fight for HW. And then add a fight like MacDonald and Lawler.

Damn.

Yeah hard to find fault with this card. I think Reem-Mir is a fine matchup at HW. Two name guys on losing streaks. Makes sense to match them and see which one can still be used as a gatekeeper (or work their way up), and which one will likely find employment elsewhere.

Evans-Sonnen will be a great war of words. I'm not sure the fight will be all that exciting but you never know.

I think we will see a different MacDonald than we have the last 2 fights. Lawler will bring the fight, we know that, and that should force Rory to ramp up his aggression.

I honestly don't see a war of words between Sonnen and Rashad. There's no ill will there at all. Hell even for the Sonnen Rua fight I hardly heard a peep out of Sonnen.

If there is a war or words it'll be fake and stupid

Yep. This is a business fight. Both of them like each other and work together on Fox. They worked it so that they could be co-main on the second biggest card of the year AND they will make a ****load of money because they get a PPV percentage.

Sorry, I didn't clarify. I was more referring to both talking trash about other fighters to set up future fights.

Hendricks doesn't deserve this match.
