UFC 73 - The Best UFC Card Ever

nospam@example.com (Johnny MMA) — Wed, 9 May 2007 08:46:27 -0700

I'm going to claim this outright...UFC 73 is the best card that the UFC has ever put on.

Part of press release from ufc.com

â€œWe have five UFC events lined up now through July in the US and UK, and every one of them is stacked with great fights,â€ said UFC President Dana White. â€œNo matter where we have a UFC, our goal is always the same â€“ to deliver the best fights between the best mixed martial arts fighters. Our fans know they will always see a good fight, and thatâ€™s why the UFC reigns supreme in live sports today.â€

White continues, â€œUFC 73 is one of the best cards weâ€™ve put together this year. Itâ€™s going to deliver the one-two punch fight fans want â€“ it has Tito Ortiz and Rashad Evans, two all-state college wrestlers, both who dislike each other, settling their differences in the Octagon, as well as title defenses by our two champions Anderson Silva and Sean Sherk. Weâ€™re working on more fights right now to pack this card even heavier from top to bottom.â€

About his upcoming fight versus Rashad Evans, â€œHuntington Beach Bad Boyâ€ Tito Ortiz stated, â€œEverybody should expect fireworks. Rashad is standing in the way of my getting another title shot, and my prediction is that he wonâ€™t be able to handle my tempo or the 18,000 Tito Ortiz fans that are in Sacramento to see me win. My prediction is that fans will definitely get their moneyâ€™s worth.â€

Evans countered, â€œTito needs to learn the meaning of respect. On July 7, Iâ€™m going to teach him what thatâ€™s all about. Let him come down from the mountain to Greg Jacksonâ€™s training camp and heâ€™ll see what heâ€™s up against. Iâ€™m focused and on a mission, and my goal is to knock him out.â€

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira will face Heath Herring

The news is out, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira's opponent at UFC 73 will be Heath Herring. This news has surprised a lot of MMA fan sites who believe that the UFC is sacraficing one of their potential stars (Heath Herring) to the much more talented Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. This may be true, but a good showing by Herring in this fight might just raise his stock a little. I personally expect "Big Nog" to take this fight, but never count anyone out in this game.

Heath Herring was injured?

Well, Heath Herring seems to have a lot of excuses for his poor performance. Among these is "I was injured" and "A year's worth of ring rust". I actually like Heath, but he's gotta do better next time!
