What other matchups are worth watching at UFC 88??

Question

I know the Liddell-Evans fight is the main event but is there any other interesting fights to look forward to besides that one? Cuz, that's the only fight mentioned in the commercials/previews for it. Will it be a boring 3.5 hours in anticipation for it...

Answer 1

yes uve got rich franklin vs matt hamill which i personally think is the best mach up of the night.

uve also got Karo Parisyan vs Yoshiyuki Yoshida

and Dan Henderson vs Rousimar Palhares

its 1 of the best fight cards of the year

Answer 2

matt hamill vs rich franklin is going to be an amazing fight because rich franklin is moving back up to 205.matt hamill is a beast he is the underdog in this fight but i think he will win buy decision.

dan henderson vs Rousimar Palhares will be a close fight

Martin Kampmann vs Nate Marquardt

Karo Parisyan vsYoshiyuki Yoshida

also the best undercard of the year with Matt Brown,Jason MacDonald,Thiago Tavares,and Jason Lambert

Answer 3

... Liddell - Evans is probably the least intriguing fight on the card.

I'm most interested in

Dan Henderson vs Rousimar Palhares

Karo Parysian vs Yoshiyuki Yoshida (this would be first, if I didn't have doubts about Karo showing up mentally)

Dong Hyun Kim vs Matt Brown

I think that those are the more interesting matchups this evening. I feel like Rashad (vs Liddell) and Matt Hamil (vs Franklin) are in a bit over their heads. I don't see those fights being too competitive, though perhaps exciting while they last.

Also Kampmann vs Marquardt and Tavares vs Pellegrino look pretty solid too. Overall, it's an EXCELLENT card, where there's much more to look forward to beyond the main event.
