UFC 103...Best UFC card so far this year?

[Liquidrob]

lol. steel mamba and his "bad matchmaking" again. ok Lil' Joe Silva, you tell what the fights should be.

Vitor/Franklin is a so so match, fun on paper, but what is Vitor back for? 185, 205? Rich is a just a floater fighting anyone now, no real direction with this match up

Cro Cop vs Dos Santos, Cro Cop already got his first win and let him start rolling, lets see Cro Cop vs Cain/Carwin/Randy

[Warner2BruceTD]

This is a shit lineup. I won't pay for this.

There isnt a single fight on this show I want to see.

edit-Koscheck v Trigg intrigues me. That's about it. I've never been a Belfort guy, and im not interested in the opponents for Swick or Cro Cop. The rest is filler.

just a difference of opinion i guess. im looking forward to all those fights

Always interesting to see what fights appeal to what people.

I'll say 250-300k buys. Rich is a low level draw, and Vitor means nothing to UFC fans.

maybe not to the newest of fans but i assume to majority of UFC fans know of vitor and you know the UFC is going to be pumping out those highlights of old Vitor to peak the interest of people.

should be a free spike card IMO

[The Buddha]

Cro Cop, Swick and Kos will get me watching.

[Rudi]

It is solid, but wouldn't go as far as you are.

[Irish]

Definitely better than 101 and 102 but im not really excited for these fights. Ill watch and probably buy into some pre-match hype but right now im not ready to say its the best this year.

[Bmore]

Decent match-ups, we'll see down the line as we edge closer to the card.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Its a good card...won't spend money on it, but I'll go to a bar to check it out. It certainly isn't a MMATV card.

[trojan49er]

its deep card for sure, but theres no real huge draw on there. still, i'll be finding a way to watch

Yeah, it'd be a really good free event on Spike.

[JeremyHight]

I think it is a pretty nice set of fights. It doesn't have the headliner, but with only so many belts and Dana hoping to keep guys like Liddell out of the octagon, it is hard to have an amazing headliner all of the time. The biggest thing this does is get Vitor back on the scene. I don't like the catch-weight, but I guess if both want it, thats fine.

I think the card is full of fights we want to watch, but none has a great drawing power. I won't say it is the best, but it is definitely an above average card.
