Since this has gotten some interest here, thought I would start a thread for people to talk about.
Pulver-Faber fight tonight. Anyone going to watch? |

| I'll be watching.
It's a shame that the best fight of the weekend is tucked away on VS, receiving no mainstream media attention....meanwhile, Kimbo Slice headlines a Saturday night fight card on a national network.
As for tonight's main event - I'll reluctantly go with Faber...although this has to be the most challenging fight of his career. | |

Can Jackson beat Liddell? He's done it twice, and I'm pretty sure he could get the hat-trick if the opportunity presents itself.
As for Jackson and Mir - Rampage is a light-heavy, and Mir is a heavy...it's unlikely you'll see those 2 head to head. | |

You do know that Rampage is the UFC Light Heavyweight CHAMPION, right?
and that he knocked out Liddell to become champ?
Mir is a Heavyweight, and Rampage has no desire to go up. LHW is definitely the most Popular division in the UFC, and maybe the most Competitive.
EDIT--Jaytrain beat me to it. Stupid slow keyboard.

| and I hope like Hell that this thread is able to stay alive and active for longer than a week. I get the feeling that myself and Dawson can (and will) keep it going.
As far as Faber/Pulver, I call Faber by Sub (RNC) in the 3rd.
