Ha well I agree about the steroids issue. That definitely took him down a notch with me. However I liked him on Ultimate Fighter. I was hoping he would stomp Koscheck the whole time.

I don't like Leben that much, but give the guy props for taking a fight just over 2 weeks since his last one and beating a good fighter.

I, however, agree with the above poster, as much as I didn't like Leben on the show, I hated Koscheck much more.

I thought Leben was awesome. Especially after he pissed on that douches pillow. Then beat his ass during the season finale. ROGERIO NOGUEIRA VS. RYAN BADER AT UFC 119. This should be a great fight.

There's rumours of a Lil Nog/Rampage fight happening in either London or Germany.

Rich Franklin out till December, UFC 119 headliner slot not possible

I don't mind Mir/Nog 2. Nog claims he was hurt during the first one, we will find out.

I'm also hearing that Lil Nog/Bader will be the co-main event.

I think with Lil Nog/Bader as the co main event it maybe be buyable.

A few of these next ones I will probably just watch online

I'm getting 117 and 118 for sure and then 119 is up in the air. 120 is free I think.

117 will def be online for me. Big Couture fan so I may end up buying 118 and having a party. Will see what 119 ends up being.

I'll be buying 117, as that is one of the most stacked cards in a long time. 118 I'll just go bdubs to watch.

Yeah, I thought the same thing about 117. I'm going to get 118 also as I hope to see Penn stomp Edgar and Couture do the same to Toney.

They announced Bisping will fight Akiyama at 120 as the main event. Yawntastic

120 is free right? No one will buy that one.

Correct, 120 is free. Akiyama just lost, and he's getting a fight of this caliber already? I mean he is one hell of a warrior but, have Bisping fight Marquardt.

Akiyama is a good fight for Bisping, Bisping would get destroyed by Marquardt.

Besides Marquardt and Palhares will be interesting

118 will be awesome.
