Finally, the UFC has confirmed their fight card for UFC 67. I've been holding off on my UFC 67 predictions because fight cards are notorious for changing at the last moment.
I am disappointed that the UFC had not done its homework like MMA Fever and its fans. Apparently, the Machida fight will not be broadcast. Instead, it will be replaced with a couple of lightweights in John Halverson Vs. Roger Huerta
Huh? Why would the UFC bump a Light Heavyweight bout for a Lightweight bout? More to the point, why would the UFC not showcase Ryoto "Lyoto" Machida who happens to be the first person to lay a serious beating on Rich Franklin to record Rich's first MMA loss in his career?
Did I mention that Ryoto "Lyoto" Machida was the first to KTFO Rich Franklin?
I am not impressed with this decision by the UFC however, it will not deter me from watching UFC 67 because I have to see Anderson Silva, Cro Cop and Rampage Jackson.
