I'm officially a Shamrock fan again today....
Nothing to lose from my POV. If Ken wins, good for him. Someone needs to expose the Ferg.... If Ken loses, I can go back to hating him.
WAR SHAMROCK!

I know that I am starting this thread ealy but with Chuck fighting next weekend everyone wants to know what is next for The Iceman if he beats Evans.....Let face it I am not a big fan of Liddells but that doesn't mean I don't like to watch the man fight.....Which bring me to my next question....Everyone knows that Chuck is one of the UFC big draws for PPV's but which fight would you want to see...

Their are guys with serious upside on this list, I made my pick but this is the most unsure I've been in a while about the HW division...
I think NOG. and Mir have alot of ground game that could be used to beat almost anybody, but on the other side of that coin Brock and Kongo have a huge future ahead of them.

I have noticed that the following topic has been discussed in several threads. Wow, I am just so tired of this.....Ken Flo is getting so much dis-respect right now. I mean c'mon Dana - reward your fighters, especially the top ones. It should in NO way be up to BJ, who he fights and does not. It seems like he is allowed way too much influence on the UFC right now.&nbs
