Solid card. It will be interesting to see Machida and Evans in the same cage. Two totally different fighters. I hope Rashad is as good on the ground as he is standing.

Re: UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida Discussion
Very interested to see what happens with the main event. Two top level guys and both seem to still be questioned by a lot of people. This fight could go a long way toward answering those questions for one or both.

Sherk-Edgar should be a good fight, too.

Wouldn't surprise me at all, especially given that each guy won it in their previous fights. Both are capable of going in there and putting on a show. My hope is that Sherk stays aggressive, as he has been in his last few fights, rather than reverting to the ground control as he has at times in the past.

I think James Irvin just pulled out of his fight, not sure why though.

Re: UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida Discussion
Is Irvin the guy Silva beat at Fight Night?

Also, was Sherk cleared of the 'roids charges or has Dana just swept it under the carpet?

I'm looking forward to the main event, simply to see who loses. I've been watching TUF2 this week so I'll be solidly behind the champ cos he seems like a proper nice guy and I've only seen Machida's last fight... Did I mention I'll massively uneducated in MMA? Hahaha!!

Hughes/Serra is win-win for me, no matter who gets beat I get the satisfaction of knowing someone I dislike got their ass handed to them. I'd prefer it to be Hughes though, cos although I respect his past accomplishments, he's a complete ass-hat.

Re: UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida Discussion
I wanna see Rashad get beat just because I don't like him.

He will probably win though.

Re: UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida Discussion
How can you not like Evans? He's well cheery. All the time. And he's funny.

I'll not go out and say that he's the most exciting fighter, cos he isn't, but he ain't half bad and that Liddell KTFO was epic.
