UFC 78: Validation - Saturday November 17th @ 10pm

I'll be ordering this on Pay Per View. If anyone is interested in attending, please feel free to post here. No superstars but a very solid fight card which should produce some great action. Everyone is welcome, just ask that you toss in a couple of bucks towards the cost of the fight. Look forward to seeing some folks.

Liddell is washed up.

Rashad Evans Vs. Michael Bisping should be good. I can't stand Bisping, his last fight that I saw was when he fought Matt Hamill and Hamill was robbed and Bisping acted like an arrogant ass. No class at all. I hope Evans chokes him out.

Liddell isn't washed up, but he's past his prime and fights in a very taleneted weight class. Coutoure takes less abuse with his Grecko/"Dirty" Boxing style of fighting and is able to control the pace of the fight more. Liddell is a stand up striker that is open to abuse as was shown vs both Jackson and Jardene. Jardene remember was just CRUSHED by Houston Alexander and was supposed to be a warm-up for Liddell before facing the Axe Murderer. Is Chuck washed up? Probably not. Does he still deserve to be considered one of the best in his weight class? Probably. Will he be able to dominate like he once did? I don't think so. He is a counter puncher who has lost a half a step. When you're a counter puncher, you need to have 110% of your reflexes. I think Chuck is beyond that at this point. Watch any of Chucks fights, he is always at his best when retaliating, not when attacking. He counters, then finishes. He's not a forward-first fighter, his style is much like Mirko Cro Cop in that they both strike VERY well going away from you. Still has the potential to knock people out, but at this point has to be considered in bad shape in his weight class with the amount of talent up and coming.

+1 Matt Hamill dominated most of their fight and deserved to get the win. I think he only has himself to blame though as he could've easily finished the fight on the ground but chose to stand up and try to bang with Bisping to try to prove something. He thinks because everyone knows he's a great wrestler he has to stand up and strike to prove something...he'll learn as he gains more experience. Still think he should've gotten the decision.

Rashad Evans is a stronger, more polished version of Matt Hamill who will NOT hesitate to pick up bisping and slam him through the canvas. I still can't believe Evans got a draw with Ortiz after he ground and pounded him for 2 straight rounds AND Ortiz had a point deduction. Evans should be able to control Bisping handily (Bisping has shown he has a weak takedown defense and HATES to fight from his back) and ground and pound him. Bisping HAS to stay standing to have a shot vs Evans. Evans is a good striker, but is often gun shy and afraid to pull the trigger. Being Evans wrestled at Michigan State and is from Detroit, I've followed his career a bit (he owned my Michigan Wolverines every time they had a match) and he won 3 NCAA Championships in his weight class. The guy can flat out bang. I look forward to seeing his career progress and where he ends up. People forget that he won The Ultimate Fighter reality show in the HEAVYWEIGHT division. Him fighting at 205 is almost unfair strength wise. Tito is considered strong at 205 and Evans handled him, despite the draw.

Rest of the card is real good. Can't wait to see the insanely strong Houston Alexander fight again. The guy is a flat out aggressive lunatic. Lots of good stuff, I could go on all day but won't.
