I have heard alot of complaints about his being a weak card, especially since Lesnar got a cold, I mean a crippling flu virus. Personally, I am as excited about this card any of the recent ones. Just look at all the exciting fighters on the card. Caol Uno, the first great lightweight and a legit contender at 155. Rogerio Nogueira, top 5 in the world at 205 and has a better skill set than his big bro. Dustin Hazelett, GREAT submission skills arguably the best at 170 maybe behind Almeida and very exciting watch, who can forget that SICK omoplata. Luiz Cane, 12 wins and his only loss was by DQ. George Soteropolis, I've only seen one of his fights but it was entertaining and a dominant victory. Kos, best wrestler behind only GSP and has recently advanced standup and submission skills. Rumble, a great athlete and striker, always produces exciting fights. Phil Baroni, always exciting and has DEVASTATING KO power. I really like this card, and I was more upset to see the Almeida-Fitch fight was cancelled than when Lesnar pulled out, same with Coleman. Still, I think its a great card. Do you think I'm crazy? DO you think its a good card or not?

I like the card, but it just doesnt have the star power, so I understand why people arent too happy with it. Is it worth $45? Depends on how many guys I get over my house.

I think so, but then again I bought UFC 99:)

Me too, but I like every card.

There are some good fights on the card but it lacks a true Main event. Tito vs Forrest was popular enough 3-4 years ago but now they are both trying to hang on to their careers. Josh Kos vs. Anthony Johnson is a B-rated fight. And Baroni vs Amir is another joke.

I like it. but not for PPV price.
They don't have anyone that is a definite star-power that would justify it.
The fights are ok, but not much better than watching Randy & Vera that is fro free.

I understand they need to make money, but if the main event is canceled, they should not keep it as PPV IMO

I watch everything, there's not a PPV system here.

Sometimes the cards lacking star power are also the ones with the best fights, action-wise, and vice versa.

It's two guys fighting MMA? I'll watch it.

I have even watched MMA events from Iran, Finland, etc (the Iranian one was terrible, in a very short cage).

My point exactly. No true Main Event.

I agree that the fighters might not be "main event material", but be more exciting that the main event.
However, there is a reason why the "main event fighters" are called that way.
And I think that, even though like Hyped, I would watch everything if they were free, I do think that, to charge me the ammount of money they charge, they HAVE to have some big names.
Call it... the cherry on the top. :)

Don't forget that he is also, in fact, the muddafn greatest.

Say what you want about his fighting...
but I think Phil Baroni is 100000000 times more funnier than Rampage.

I think the best TUF would be Rampage & Phil Baroni :)
Don't care about the fighters, I would only watch to see those 2 monkeys at each other.

Nope, the best would be Matt Serra and NYBA.
