What about John Hathaway?  tongue

I'm really excited for the Condit/Hardy fight, aswell as the Hathaway/Pyle fight.  The Bisping/Akiyama match will probably be good but I still don't see the reasoning for putting Akiyama in a main event match after losing to Leben.  Albeit it was an amazing match and neither fighter really walked away a "loser", I just think Leben should've gotten Bisping instead.

If they're still planning on throwing Leben at Wanderlei, then what is the plan after that?  Winner gets winner of Bisping/Akiyama?  Wouldn't make much sense.  And all these guys are atleast a good 2-3 fights away from a title match.

Hardy/Condit should be a good scrap, I dunno call me crazy but I think Dong Hyum Kim/Hathaway would've been more of test for Hathaway after beating Diego I think this is kind of a step down for him, too bad Stun Gun got injured, anyways I think he should beat Mike Pyle without that much of a problem Hathaway has tons of potential I hope to c a higher step on the ladder later for him, and finally hopefully Akiyama gives me a present and KTFO's Bisping, also *fingers crossed* so that the Gustafsson/Diabate fight be on the main broadcast.

I am going to pretend to go out on a ledge of obviousness, the UFC for some stupid reason feels like they need to award Akiyama for fighting Leben (however they gave him the $80,000.00 fight of the night bonus). AND there scared that Leben might avenge his loss against the UFC United Kingdom golden boy Bisping and mess up the UFC presents in UK. They are still trying to clean up the promotional mess from Hendo KOing Bisping. That is my take on Dip, take it or leave it. I totally agree that Leben deserved the fight, but UFC is not going to take a chance at Bisping getting KO'd while fighting in UK by another American. War Sexyama, I would love to see Bisping get KO'd and I don't think bisping is knocking Akiyama out.
