UFC 88 Fight Card Taking Shape
UFC 88 will happen in Atlanta on September 6, 2008
MMA has seen a lot of changes in the past year, but there are a lot of familiar names on the UFC 88 fight card. Former champions are everywhere, starting with former UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell taking on unbeaten contender Rashad Evans.
UFC 88 Fight Card
Chuck Liddell vs. Rashad Evans
Rich Franklin vs. Matt Hamill
Dan Henderson vs. Rousimar Palhares
Karo Parisyan vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida
Roan Carneiro vs. Ryo Chonan
James Lee vs. Tim Boetsch
Thiago Tavares vs. Kurt Pellegrino
Matt Brown vs. Dong Hyun Kim
If Evans wins it'll be tough to deny him a title shot, it would be equally difficult to deny Liddell his shot if he wins.
Former middlewieght champion Rich Franklin is moving up to light heavyweight to take on Matt Hamill. Hamill is best known for his loss to Michael Bisping, a loss which many fans and experts believe that should have been handed out to Bisping instead.
Former Pride light heavyweight and middleweight champion Dan Henderson will take on relative newcomer Rousimar Palhares as Henderson attempts to wipe out two consecutive losses and make a name for himself at 185 lbs.
Perrenial contender Karo Parisyan is taking yet another non title fight at 170 lbs. Karo unfortunately has had some untimely losses in his career and hasn't had that title shot he so desperately wants.
All in all this is a good looking fight card to follow up August 9ths UFC 87.
