**WARMachine** · 07-29-2008, 08:41 PM

Ok guys, i was checkin out MMAWeekly, and saw UFC 89 is confirmed

is the card
Michael Bisping vs. Chris Leben
-Lyoto Machida vs. Thiago Silva
-Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou vs. Luiz Cane
-Keith Jardine vs. Brandon Vera
-Akihiro Gono vs. Dan Hardy
-Marcus Davis vs. Paul Kelly
-Jess Liaudin vs. David Bielkheden
-Sammy Schiavo vs. Per Eklund
-Sam Stout vs. Terry Etim
-Shane Carwin vs. Neil Wain
-Paul Taylor vs. Chris Lytle

ive gotta say, i was worried at first with Leban and Bisping headlining, but all in all, its not a bad card... Especially since its free in the states!!!

My picks are
Bisping
Silva
Sokoudjou
Jardine
Gono
Davis
Bielkheden (for obvious reasons haha)
Schiavo
Stout
Carwin
and Lytle

again, not a bad card

what do you guys think?

good looking out bro. I hope you are wrong with bisping. I cant stand him since the mat hammand fight. He lost that fight and he knows it..

He does know it but he didnt score the fight its not he's falt the judges got it rong.
bisping was a decen 205er and looks better at 185,but i cant see him being able to compete with the likes of dan henderson,a silver etc
if he beats leban i think he will get a title shot(after cote/okami),he doesnt deserve it but we all know how dana white looks after his "TUF" fighters

^^^ you have got to be kidding me?

Bisping could never compete with the likes of Hnedo or AS...
Him and Cote would be a good fight, but neither are ever gonna be top 3 185ers

**T_Own** · 07-30-2008, 06:37 PM

he said that. he just said that he might get a title shot cause he was the ultimate fighter, so dana's lookin out for him

but i think leben can win that, i've never been overly impressed with bisping
machida is a toss up imo. he's got that crazy style, it worked on tito but idk if he can keep it up
gotta go with vera though. but i'd pick anyone over jardine, i can't stand him

1) Anderson Silva
2) Paulo Filho
3) Dan Henderson
