Looking forward to this PPV. Chuck has got to impress me and the rest of the world if he wants to keep fighting in the Octagon. Poor Chuck, he's lost 3 of his 4 last fights and Dana White (UFC President) has already put his ass on notice that he needs to win against Shogun to keep his ass employed.

In the main even we see the return of Anderson "The Spider" Silva defending his MW belt against Brazilian Thales Leites. I'm beginning to feel sorry for Silva for having to fight against shitty competition. I'm sure Anderson is feeling a bit insulted for giving him Patrick Cote last time he fought in which he toyed around with him all night long before Cote had a freak knee injury.

I pray that Dana will finally give Yushin Okami (Sherdog.com's #2 ranked Middleweight) a shot to fight Anderson, that should be fireworks and should be headlined in the upcoming UFC100 in the summer time, granted Anderson destroys Leites.
