I posted earlier about UFC 113 and how it has been delayed for a week because the Mayweather vs Mosley boxing match. Back when I posted I was upset about UFC being delayed because the card was stacked. Now there is another reason to be upset about the fight being pushed back. One of the top UFC light heavyweight fighters, Forrest Griffin, will fight another light heavyweight who is in the top 10 list, Antonio Noguiera. Griffin always pushes the pace, rarely tires, and always puts on entertaining fights. The UFC 113 main card will be a much anticipated rematch between Lyoto Machida and top contender, Maricio Shogun Rua, and the winner of the Griffin Noguiera match will be within reach of a title fight against the winner of the headlining event. Back in 2007, Griffin defeated Shogun with a third round submission, so if he wins his fight and Shogun defeats Machida, we could see a rematch where the winner will receive the belt. Now if Griffin has to face Machida, the world might not get to see the fan favorite take back the light heavyweight title. Griffin is afraid to fight Machida as you can see in this video:(skip to 6 minutes to see Griffin talking about Machida, but Forrest is hillarious and I recommend watching the whole video!)
(also keep watching from 6 minutes to see Griffin discussing drinking urine)
I think the UFC will be able to top the historic UFC 100 with the fight cards at UFC 111, 112, or 113. And not to mention one of the most anticipated fights between Rashad and Rampage at UFC 114 or the completion of the Liddell Ortiz fights at UFC 115! This year should be great for the UFC after two weaker cards at UFC 109 and UFC 110 pass. The remainder of the card of UFC 113 is:
Kimbo Slice vs. Matt Mitrione(!!!!!)
Josh Koscheck vs. Paul Daley(!!!)
Patrick Cote vs. Alan Belcher(!!)
Jonathan Goulet vs. Marcus Davis
T.J. Grant vs. Johny Hendricks
Jeremy Stephens vs. Sam Stout
