After watching clips of Dana White interviews from yesterday, I have a new level of respect for him.

Nah, I'd suggest Silva vs Struve to start with and see where it goes from there.

Rich Franklin (not Tito Ortiz) will face Chuck at UFC 115:

No reason has been given as to why Liddell is fighting Franklin, not Ortiz. Presumably, we'll find out the reasons by continuing to watch this season of TUF.

What Anderson Silva did was a joke to MMA, The UFC, Demian Maia and to the fans. If I were showing this fight to someone who this was their first time watching MMA, I would be ashamed.

I don't mind some showboating but to do what he was doing was stupid. If you are going to act like you are that much better, finish the guy. Don't dance around for 3 rounds.

I have lost all respect for Anderson Silva. He definitely is not a true champion.

There is a bunch of rumors out there about Tito but nothing I have heard to be true, guess we will just have to watch and see!

I lost some respect for Silva but not all of it. Hopefully he redeems himself with a line of spectacular fights.

I'm torn with who I'd rather see Chuck fight. He's already kicked Tito's ass twice and it would be interesting to see a 3rd based on two facts. 1. They honestly don't like each other and that seems to always make a better fight and 2. Tito claims he is healthy now and that he hasn't been in previous fights so it would be nice to see Chuck shut him up healthy. Then there is the Rich Franklin idea and that would be nice to watch since they have never fought before.

The 115 card:

MAIN CARD
* Chuck Liddell vs. Rich Franklin
* Patrick Barry vs. Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic
* Martin Kampmann vs. Paulo Thiago
* Carlos Condit vs. Rory MacDonald
* Evan Dunham vs. Tyson Griffin

PRELIMINARY CARD (un-aired)
* Mac Danzig vs. Matt Wiman
* Ben Rothwell vs. Gilbert Yvel
* Peter Sobotta vs. James Wilks
* Ricardo Funch vs. Claude Patrick
* Jesse Lennox vs. Mike Pyle

This is a free TV card masquerading as a PPV. There are no name guys who actually are in title contention performing. The main event (Liddell-Franklin) is pretty comparable to the Hughes-Gracie match from the last card...except that was a mid-card PPV bout that got its place due to the names involved.

Like I said earlier I don't see Edgar being the champ for long.

114 is a definite buy.

That is a pretty weak card. If I had to pay, I would not buy it.

Ha well I love watching most any MMA and I live a pretty boring life right now so I would welcome this card on my comp.

So Dana says the UFC plans on making the Silva fight up to the fans. I wonder what the plan is.

He threw out a couple of things already. Having him fight on the Prelims of a card, having him fight on fight night for the troops in Afghanistan.
