I was not eager to see this card at first especailly due to the main event, but the card has come along nicley

what's the main event on this card? Kimo vs. Shamrock? A bunch of washed up has beens. This card needs a good rampage or liddell or couture fight.

I could care less about that fight to be honest with you. I would like however to see Kimo beat Ken.
I was surprised to not see either liddell or couture or vitor on this card. I guess they're saving them for UFC49. I would also like to see Arlovski take on Sylvia.

If Sylvia is truly clean and hasn't some how cheated and passed a steroid test, then Arlovski will eat him up.
