cro cop, bisping, jackson ;) dont know what odds youll get on them cause their all devastating fighters. watched bisping through his career and really like the guy, very down to earth and good fighting style. jackson is a monster, put the undisputed champ on his back in minutes in one of the biggest upsets in UFC history, cro cop i just think is excellent, though hes had some defeats i still think pound for pound hes one of the best.

Bisping should win his fight but the Henderson vs Jackson fight should be a cracker, after the fight I have heard that you will be able to pick who the winner of that fight fights next on the UFC website and hopefully you wont get charged for it I would like to see one of them fighting Forrest Griffin because he is the most exciting fighter to watch in the UFC at the minute. Cro-Cop was one of the best in pride and his fights with Fedor Emelianenko (best fighter on the planet) were class to watch but he got his ass kicked last time in the UFC.

its rumoured that emelianenko is close to signing a deal with UFC, would be great to see him in there. cant fault his credentials but would be good to see him fight the likes of couture, sylvia, arlovski. with the big influx of pride fighters it has really opened the UFC up. some cracking fights planned for the future. its great to see how the sport has picked up.
100% on the jackson vs henderson fight, will be a gem, think jacksons confidence, coming off a big win, will be a big bonus though.

UFC 75 will be screened live in the UK on Setanta PPV1 (Sky channel 481) at 7:00pm on Saturday, September 8

Fedor Emelianenko has a contract with Pride and the UFC now own Pride so he should fight in the UFC but his management dont want him to fight in the octagon for some reason, the UFC have tried to make big names of some of their heavyweights so they could make a superfight with the UFC champion and the Pride champion fighting against each other but that didnt work out, they even brought the Texan crazy horse out of retirement so he could have a couple of easy wins in the UFC then fight Emelianenko in a superfight but he got his ass kicked in his first fight.

i think with emelianenko and the UFC it all boils down to exclusivity, UFC are only really intrested in him while his management want more of their fighters to progress. like everything i reckon it all boils down to money an who gets the lions share.

About UFC 75
UFC 75: Champion v Champion is the third UFC super-card to hit the UK in the last five months - and the biggest fight night to land in London in over a decade. In addition to the Champion v Champion main
event, the O2 card also features the return of Croatian striking sensation Mirko ?Cro Cop?, who steps into the Octagon to face kickboxing specialist Cheick Kongo in an explosive heavyweight collision.

Then, in an eagerly awaited grudge match, Britain?s own undefeated UFC megastar Michael ?the Count? Bisping will attempt to settle an old score when he battles former the Ultimate Fighter season 3 teammate and bitter rival Matt ?the Hammer? Hamill in a three
round light heavyweight contest.

And Houston Alexander ? who made perhaps the most stunning Octagon? debut ever by knocking out Keith Jardine in 48 stunning seconds in May ? returns to take on follow striking specialist Alessio
?Legionarius" Sakara in another mouth-watering 205lbs
match-up.
