Not suprising, weak card. Rashat aint a draw....

the next card, coleman - couture will do even less. nobody wants to see these two old geezers leaning all over each other trying to lay and pray. it'll be like having two old shot matt linlands in the octagon with each other. the UFC should pay us to watch it

that is just funny.

Yeah not surprising. I actually think the next card [109] will do slightly better only because Randy is headlining. And as irrelevant and Randy is, some people will pay to watch him fight, regardless of how retarted this match-up with Coleman is.

Things will pick up with UFC 110. UFC 110 is a great card, and people will pay to see GSP fight whoever so UFC 111 should be good too.

Plus UFC 112, and 113 are shaping up nicely.

yeah pretty much agree with the consensus

anyway I am going to the local Hooters to catch 109 but seriously thinking about leaving right before the main event .. I care about Couture-Coleman that little.

the other fights ... Serra-Trigg, Swick-Thiago, Maia-Miller I can stomach

but eff the main event.

Umm idk if you guys saw it or not, but on paper it was weak yet in reality it was a great card.

That happens alot, actually. 91 looked kinda weak except for Lesnar vs. Couture and we got to see every fight with some great subs and KO's, 72 was horrible looking on paper but turned out to be pretty good.

108 had more injury cancellations than any card I can remember, so this shouldn't be much of a surprise.
