Full UFC 104 Card Announced

UFC has announced the full card for UFC 104 and it is fairly underwhelming!

Main card

Light Heavyweight Championship bout: Lyoto Machida (c) vs Mauricio Rua
Heavyweight bout: Cain Velasquez vs. Ben Rothwell
Lightweight bout: Sean Sherk vs. Gleison Tibau
Lightweight bout: Joe Stevenson vs. Spencer Fisher
Welterweight bout: Anthony Johnson vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida

Preliminary card

Heavyweight bout: Antoni Hardonk vs. Patrick Barry
Middleweight bout: Yushin Okami vs. Chael Sonnen
Middleweight bout: Jorge Rivera vs. Rob Kimmons
Light Heavyweight bout: Ryan Bader vs. Eric Schafer
Light Heavyweight bout: Kyle Kingsbury vs. Razak Al-Hassan
Heavyweight bout: Stefan Struve vs. Chase Gormley

It also looks like there's going to be a Ben Rothwell vs. Cain Velasquez fight. Apart from the fact that Machida is going to both eat Shogun's lunch and shit in his cereal, it should be a solid card but something of a yawner. Nothing really stands out here, but of course the real death knell of UFC was releasing Tamdan McCrory. NO BARN CAT, NO PEACE

Underwhelming! That is honestly my favorite card, top to bottom, since UFC 97 (and the main event of that turned out to be a total stinker).

Johnson vs. Yoshida will be crazy, Sean Sherk will still be pissed about his last fight, Valasquez vs. Rothwell will be a great test for Cain, Yushin Okami will FINALLY be back, Hardonk vs. Barry is like a K-1 match in a cage, etc. The rest of the fights don’t interest me all too much, but the main event is something I’ve been looking forward to since Rua ended Liddell’s career. Rua by PRIDE style destruction.
