Dream goes down in about 24 hours. I am very interested in this card for both the good fighters aspect as well as the freak show aspect. This super hulk tournament has a ton of people interested in this card while there are enough good fighters on the card to interest the hardcore fans who don't want to see the freak show aspect. I still am not 100% convinced that Canseco will fight in this tournament. I don't think I am going to believe it until I see it. I am definitly going to be up at 3 in the morning to watch live on hdnet.
While there are a couple good fights on this card but at the same time there are a lot of apparent mis-matches. The Super Hulk tournament only has a few legit fighters, and they are not matched up together in the first round. So it should be easy fights for both Gegard Mousasi and Rameau Soukoudjou. Mousasi, despite being one of the two lightest guys in the tournament, is probably the tournament favorite. Although this is the first time Mousasi has fought at this high a weight so it will be interesting to see how he does. The Lightweight tournament also I think features three mismatches as Kid Yamamoto, Abel Cullum, and Bibiano Fernandez are all significantly better than there opponents. Although Joe Warren had the upset win at the opening round so who knows. The two single fights are both very good. Mayhem Miller and Souza should both be good, although Souza's jiu-jitsu is so much better than Miller's and that I think will be the difference.
After an ugly UFC 98, my record for the year stands at 212-103-5-11 for 67.3%
