Airs tomorrow night on Spike at 8:00.

The main event will be TUF2 winner Diego Sanchez (17-0) vs. Karo Parisyan (15-3). Sanchez is tough as hell, but for whatever, I just don't like the kid. This is easily his biggest test yet and I'd like to see Parisyan pull it off. They have a common opponent in Nick Diaz, where Sanchez earned the more decisive decision. Should be a great fight.

Also on the main card:
Chris Leben (TUF1, 10-1) vs. Jorge Santiago (11-5)
Dean Lister (8-4) vs. Yuki Sasaki (20-12-1)
Josh Koscheck (TUF1, 6-1) vs. (16-6)

Thoughts? Picks?

Also, when the hell are Kendall Grove, Michal Bisping and Ed Herman going to fight again? :?

It would appear you're not the only one.

I watch it too, but don't really follow it. I've watched all of the Ultimate Fighters, I don't get any of the PPV's, although I almost got the Shamrock-Ortiz fight last month. I'm glad I didn't. Doesn't Ultimate Fighter start tomorrow night too?

Ya know what? I hate Diego Sanchez. There is something about his personality that just gets under my skin. He has been taking a lot of criticism for his undefeated record against unworthy opponents. But I have to hand it to him...he is the real deal and this win proved it. He is looking to be a serious contender. A fantastic main event...agreed.

What the hell was up with Dean Lister? He must be cutting too much weight.

I don't know, I didn't see that fight. For some reason I thought it started at 9PM, so I only got see Leben and Sanchez fight.

I'm not a huge Diego fan, but he's definitely the real deal. I've thought that since his great fight with Nick Diaz. Karo Parisyan is no pushover. If BJ Penn doesn't move down to LW, he would be the ideal next opponent for Diego. But I really, really can't see Diego doing much of anything against BJ.

Also not a huge Leben fan, but I was really happy to see him get some sort of redemption from his fight against Anderson Silva. He really got humbled in that fight, and it showed just how far he has to go... but Silva is also one of the best strikers in MMA, so it's hard to fault Leben for the loss. But he couldn't have redeemed himself any better last night. That knockout was brutal.

I had high hopes for Lister... he is supposed to have one of, if not the, best ground game in the UFC. But he gassed, and gassed hard. Odd, considering how closely he trains with Tito. I figure he'll be back stronger, and start impressing again. I also hope they bring back Dean's opponent from last night. Not a technically great performance, but Sasaki(?) showed enough heart to warrant another shot in the UFC.

And another great performance from Koscheck. At the rate he's going, it'll be 2-3 years tops before he has a belt.
