Saturday February 6th.
I’m not debating which I’d rather attend, I’m simply implying that two of the three main bouts on this card are more of an old reunion than an interesting MMA matchup. These fights could set the UFC back a bit in terms of popularity and excitment. I’ll bet this UFC 109 ticket doesn’t sell many PPV’s. Anyone on here buying it?
Randy Couture vs Marc Coleman – this fight never should have been signed, let alone made the headliner for the largest MMA show in the world. There are far more intriguing matchups that are taking a back seat to this nostalgic card. In this fight I see Randy destroying Marc. Randy’s wrestling has always been better, Randy’s dirty boxing and clinch work have always been better and his submission game is head and shoulders better than Marcs ever was. Randy wins this fight way before Coleman has a chance to embarrass middle aged men everywhere.
Matt Scera vs Frank Trigg – this fight is a third shot for both of these fighters in the most competitive weight class in the UFC! Why is the UFC bringing back these two fighters who have proved their good, just not good enough to dominate the division? Frank Trigg has always been good, but never entertaining and never good enough to win a big fight. Matt Scera has the bjj and the hands to be good, he’s just a little guy in the wrong weight class. Matt Scera will win this fight on the ground choking Trigg till he tapps out.
Nate Marquardt and Cael Sonnen are the reason I’ll be viewing this show from home. Both of these fighters are legitimate contenders. Anderson Silva is ready to be done and I see one of these two taking over for him. In this fight I see Marquardt edging out a decision in what I hope is the most exciting back and forth fight ever.
Thoughts?
