[EnRiCH13]

Isnt it gonna be Hughes?

I've heard Hughes, but I've also heard that Koscheck might get a shot and GSP would fight Hughes for the rights to face the winner (or something thereabout)

how about the most bs fight in ufc history between diego and koshcheck...they never shouldve even awarded a winner..i say give GSP an immediate rematch with serra...but im almost positive that hughes has the next title shot since he won his last fight...on another note i cant wait to see rampage dominate chuck w/ ease

lmao remember Koscheck's post fight interview and how hyped he was haha. I do think they should have Serra vs. Koscheck for the belt next and GSP/Hughes III for the right to face the winner. Not that I'm underestimating Serra but even as the champion he'd be a huge underdog in a fight vs. Hughes and it wouldn't be a good business decision for the belt to change hands like 2 times in 2 fights. Besides, I think Diego was gonna get a shot if he beat Koscheck so I think Serra/Koscheck would be the matchup. You know Dana White is pissed the hell off that Serra won lol

Your correct about diego getting a title shot if he won..however i cant see koshcheck vs. serra being a maincard on a pay per view unless they put it on anderson silva next title defense..A GSP/Hughes III(non title fight would attract more buys then koshcheck/serra...Also just because koshcheck "won" he didnt do shit and in my opinion that fight should be refought b4 diego or koshcheck advance further up the ladder..HHF has there been any post fight interviews w/ diego ive been looking all over and cant find any..hes my fav fighter and i was heated when he lost that dance contest w/ koshcheck

With the UFC PPV's (I guess they wouldn't be PPV's though, but you get what I'm saying) now coming to Spike TV, beginning with UFC 70, a Koscheck/Serra title fight could headline one of those shows. Yeah it wouldn't be a marquee matchup, but it'd be the first UFC title fight on free television, which I'm sure would create some buzz. As far as I'm concerned these UFC's that are now coming on free TV could use something like that, especially since the matchups that we're getting shown are kind of wack, at least in my opinion. While we do have some big names on the cards for UFC 70 in England and UFC 72 in Ireland, they're facing people who wouldn't be considered to headline a card people would pay for. This is understandable, seeing as it's a free fight, but I mean shit, for the first UFC PPV type event that you're plugging, give me a bigger name for Cro Cop or Arlovski to fight besides Gabriel Gonzaga or Fabricio Werdum. Not taking anything away from either of those 2 guys, but they're not really who you'd consider people who would headline a UFC PPV. The Cro Cop fight I can understand since the UFC is ready to hype up a Couture/Cro Cop fight for August. For UFC 72 in Ireland, the main event is Rich Franklin vs. Martin Kampmann. Let Koscheck/Serra headline that card and have GSP/Hughes III on the card for UFC 74, which works because GSP is already scheduled to fight on that card anyway.

I also heard Diego Sanchez walked out on the post fight press conference or didn't attend.

those are excellent ideas...this is the first i heard of 72, ufc is getting interesting. Have you heard what other fights will be on the undercard for chuck/rampage? also who is silva going to do destroy next..the only website i can find is the ufc.com otherwise its tough to get info on upcoming events..Back to the welterweight division for UFC 74 have a rematch serra vs. GSP and kos vs hughes on the same card..then winners fight in a megafight in an upcoming ufc(Asuming winners would be GSP and Hughes). I still like diego in that division tho

I feel bad for couture having to fight cro crop however i feel the division will not be complete until emilienenko signs assuming he does.

__________________________________

Now Couture signed something like a 5 fight contract with UFC. I'm surprised he's getting hyped into a matchup with someone of Cro Cop's stature in only his second fight. If Fedor comes to UFC, all the HW's besides Cro Cop need to go into Elite XC or Cage Rage b/c they're gonna get owned.
