Is it a match for the heavyweight title between them? It sure is.

I'm going to watch it at a friend's house but I'm not going to see it until the replay so I have to stay away from news sites because I don't want to get spoiled

The real good UFC card is for Dec 27 dude. All but one fight could be a main event on any show.

I definitely want to see Mir/Nogueira and Griffin/Evans. That card really does look good too. I actually just read that Lenar/Couture is expected to break UFC buyrate records. So we have a very exciting 2 months in the UFC

I read that last night too. But thats Dana White saying it so I'm taking that with a grain of salt.

Dana White's opinions do have a way to tend to backfire sometimes. He was expecting George SP to be the new Matt Hughes, if not better. So GSP goes on to beat Hughes and gets wrecked immediately by Serra. Dana White is the Bischoff of the UFC

I didn't mean all that. What I meant is hes a promoter. His job is to make each event look like the a must see event worth your money.

I actually heard that Dana White has been trying to take a Vince McMahon type approach to the UFC. Basically he wants real storylines for his fights

His fights do have real storylines already though. Example, Mir vs Nog, the two coaches for this season if the Ultimate Fighter. Winner gets a title shot. The champ is currently Brock Lesnar. Brock lost to Mir and might get another shot at him or Nog if he wins. And to top it all off these guys get a shot to dethrone the guy who took out Randy Cotore. This is win/win shit right here.
The fighters once they get like three UFC fights under there belts start writing there own storylines.
And with the prefight interviews that story stuff right there. Dana's doing the story stuff already. And there is a ton of money right now in Griffin/Rampage 2 espically with the shit Rampage pulled a couple days after the first fight.

It really is like WWE booking. Mir beats Lesnar yet Lesnar gets the title shot and Mir has to fight for the #1 contender spot. Mir totally should have gotten that title shot but because of the coaching rivalry between Mir and Nogueira, that's where the money is and the sport is still a business even if that's unfair to Mir

I wouldn't put it past some of the UFC being fixed because of the Vegas payrolls on the down low. My friend and I were watching Rich Franklin vs. Ken Shamrock and in the first round Shamrock slipped twice and it looked so fake both times and he was barely blocking anything. It really looked like he threw the fight

I don't have any doubts that some of the fights are thrown. It isn't beyond belief for anyone to beat anyone in UFC because there are so many possible ways to win and lose.
