Yeah, this ppv definitely doesn't have the huge matchup of the previous 2. I think Lutter is being over-hyped, I've a feeling Silva destroys him in the 1st with his amazing striking, though I really haven't seen much of Lutter outside a few TUF episodes.

Can't wait to see Rampage/Cro Cop in action... I really hope they both win to start building some serious alternatives in the heavyweight/light heavyweight divisions.
I think Lutter/Silva is a bigger mismatch than Serra/GSP when that eventually occurs. Lutter is a BJJ guy who can't strike, Silva is likely a better BJJ guy who is the best striker at that weight class.

I hope the UFC asked Cro Cop to keep his fight going for more than 30 seconds. I'd like to see a few minutes of action before the KO. I was listening to 960 last weekend (Talktagon - good show, worst name ever!) and they had a guy on that suggested this fight would not have happened in California as the sanctioning body would not have allowed it due to the mismatch.
