Ok so its official UFC 92 will co feature two main events. Wanderlei Silva vs Quinton Jackson and a title match of Forrest Griffin vs Rashad Evans. Like most I will be tuning in on Dec 27 to watch the events unfold. For some reason there is this little voice in my head that keeps chanting pride, pride, pride, pride……. that’s right Wandy vs Jackson has already happened 2 times before in Japans Pride FC. Both fights ending in the same results. Dominating performances by the axe murderer. Or has Joe Silva and Dana White forgotten all about that, since Zuffa purchased the bankrupt company and have tried to remove all the fights off of youtube. Is it possible that we will see some sort evolved fighter in Rampage? Highly unlikely. Quintons style is perfect to play right into the hands of Wanderlei. We should all expect to see much more of the same from their previous fights.

Title fights are always the main event on any fight card. However the question remains in fans minds. How legitimate is this title match? By no means am I insinuating Rashad does not deserve a shot at the belt. In fact I believe he deserves a shot at the title from the real champ. Which many believe to still be Quinton Jackson. In the controversial descision we all saw at UFC 86, a new more marketable star was born. Now we are seeing what the UFC has been dreaming of. Two of their own TV stars taking front stage to fight for a belt. Giving legitimacy to reality show TUF.
