UFC 69 - Shootout
 

Georges ?Rush? St Pierre is finally back to defend his Welterweight title for the first time against The Ultimate Fighter 4 winner, Matt ?The Terror? Serra

The line opened at a staggering (-900) in favor of Georges St. Pierre and (+650) for Serra. The odd makers are not really giving the veteran a valid shot at knocking off the champ.

St. Pierre hasn?t fought since his total annihilation of former champion and UFC legend Matt Hughes on November 18th, 2006. He also suffered a knee injury during training for this bout against Serra, and postponed the match up until April 7th.

There is a more heated rivalry and a closer match up on paper also on this card with a rematch from The Ultimate Fighter 1 in Diego Sanchez and Josh Koscheck.

These two enemies fought to a close split decision in the welterweight semi finals of the Ultimate Fighter, with Sanchez eking out a victory. The odds makers have this match up at (-200) for Sanchez as the favorite, and Josh Koscheck at a respectable (+170).

Other match ups include: Yushin Okami Vs. Mike Swick , Alan Belcher Vs. Kendall Grove, Brad Imes Vs. Heath Herring, Thales Leites Vs. Pete Sell, Marcus Davis Vs. Pete Spratt , Josh Haynes Vs. Luke Cummo.


Any thoughts on the main event ?

Any given Sunday rule always applies. That said, St. Pierre is humping the babes with his belt on tomorrow night.

amen ! :winkwink:

Serra has the submission version of a punchers chance but that's about it. I'm really intruiged by the Sanchez fight. I hope they are setting this up for a winner gets the winner of the main event type thing.

On another note... what's the deal with Fedor on a BODOG card? He's staying in the UFC/Pride right???

I'm pretty sure Fedors contract has a clause that allows him to fight in Russia for anybody he wants.

Winners:
Main Event : GSP wins by TKO.

Under-card:
Diego Sanchez will send that bleach blond pussy to the hospital again.

PPV at my place tommorrow night!
