MAIN CARD
Tito vs. Guy - of course
St Pierre vs. Hughes - of course
Lawler vs. Tanner - 99% sure
Trigg vs. Verrissimo - 95% sure

Which of these other fights would you want on the main card?

Cote vs. Eastman
Prangley vs. Salaverryi
Telligman vs. Marsh
Franklin vs. Rivera

Franklin vs Rivera

I really don't care to see Telligman fight.

Telligman vs. Marsh
Franklin vs. Rivera

those for sure, Telligman just needs to get a big win, and we need more exposure for Franklin and Rivera's division.

Franklin vs. Rivera

I'd obviously like to get my 30 bucks worth and see ALL the fights happen on PPV,but I'm a realist and know that the cahnces of seeing all of the fights on a live PPV sometimes is a little too hopeful.

Has Telligman won in the UFC yet?

I must admit, his last fight with Rizzo was great.

I voted for Eastman. I'm sort of a fan of his, I like his style and he's a great kickboxer, and you've only praised this guy Cote. Usually when Marvin fights, it's all fireworks. The other fights look pretty solid too.

I totally agree. Cote vs. Eastman is guaranteed fireworks. Plus, it would be very advantageous for the UFC if one of these guys stepped up into the LHW limelight.

I'll have a few pictures of Cote and an interview (actually done by a friend of mine) up shortly.

Franklin vs Rivera.

Eastman doesn't deserve to be on the UFC main card, and I'd like to see how good Franklin will do at Middleweight against a pretty good fighter in Rivera.

I don't think it's too much to ask for to see all the fights. Show less Shaq and show more fights. The ufc has a 3 hour ppv slot, so fill it. Pride always does. But of course this won't happen. With that said Eastman/Cote should be a war.

Tralligman vs Marsh should be fireworks also, just like UFC 43, but I think Franklin vs Rivera should be on the main card.

the last ppv we got to see all the fights, so i would'nt count the ufc out just yet.

i'd pick eastman/cote. both guys have something to prove, and the winner could spice up the LH division.

i'd pick tre/marsh second because it'll be a while untill we see a decent heavyweight fight. tre always puts on a good show, win or lose.

franklin/rivera both lost recently (franklin in japan) and there's not too much signifigance in this fight.

I'll take Franklin/Rivera. Both are pretty good fighters that suffered some tough losses a while ago. Franklin is a lot bigger, so I'll take him as the victor.

I assume most people are picking Rivera/Franklin cuz you've seen those guys fight more often. But, I agree with Lefty. There's not much significance to this fight.

Other the other hand, if an impressive victor emerges from Cote vs. Eastman we may have a 5th legit LHW contender. The most popular weight class with an actual champion.
