Thats actually kind of a cool event poster.

Man I want to see this entire card SO bad! Just about every fight I have a pretty big interest in. I wanted to go so bad but I dont think I will be recovered enough by then and couldn't risk spending the money on tickets and not being able to use them

Oh and honestly, I think Frankiln will actually take this fight pretty easily. I like Vitor but Ace is a smart fighter and very composed whereas we all know Vitor can be broken. I think that will be the gameplan of Franklin, take your time, stick and move, frustrate him, tire him, TKO him.

I think this is an awesome card. Vitor looks really good on a UFC poster and his name goes great with 103 too.

Shouldn't be too hard of a card to choose this time. There are maybe one or two that strike me clueless.

Belfort, Dos Santos, and Swick.


All via KO.

There is no way I can pick against Vitor. I think he would have a legitimtae shot though. I would have Rich as the favorite, but if Vitor comes in with speed like he has for his last two fights I think he could overwhelm him. I think he has better hands and more power, wouldn't be surprised to see a tko.

I don't see the difference between this poster, and any other UFC event poster. Looks pretty average to me.

This card is packed. Hell, I'd say the undercard has just as much potential as the main card.

I can't wait to see Belfort back in action, and Cro Cop (hopefully) looking like he did two or three years ago.

I would actually even go as far as saying this card is as good as the card for UFC 100, I am that excited for this card.

I also can't wait to see who gets to have a title fight with St-Pierre. If that fighter turned out to be Martin Kampmann, I wouldn't give poor Martin a chance. However, if that fighter turned out to be Mike Swick, he might have a good shot at beating St-Pierre.

All in all, I'd say this is a card for the ages.
