Rich better bring his chin strap, Coleman better bring his track shoes, and Shogun better not bring another bumb wheel and we will be treated to a great card.

that's a horrible move, Lytle and Davis are very popular and well liked, and always entertaining, WHY THE F**K WOULD SIVER AND MOHR BE ON THE MAIN CARD WHEN THEY BOTH LOST THEIR LAST UFC FIGHTS, HELL EACH GUY HAS ONLY WON ONCE IN THE UFC!!!!!!
I hope it's a mistake that it's listed as such.

That fight will surely be shifted to the main card and with a quick KO by Shogun we might get to see Palhares aswell

I'm pretty confident when all is said and done Marcus Davis vs Chris Lytle will make the main card, and Nate Mohr vs Dennis Siver will be pushed back.
It seems like it must be an oversight because Mohr vs Siver and Mendes vs Gusmao are fights that would have a hard time making the main card of a fight night, let alone trump Lytle vs Davis. Rousimar vs Horn seems like another fight that would have made the main card...the bottom two fights on the main card just seem like someone fell asleep at the wheel.
Another prediction...this will end up on Spike. As time coninues to go by it seems more likely that 93 will be a PPV, but there are two factors working against a PPV. It's on tape delay, and it's a weak card. I think logic will win out in the end and Spike will find a way to pay for this card.

The main card is as follows:
franklin hendo
rua coleman
kang belcher
davis lytle
horn palharres

I think this might stay on ppv, but that sucks. Its going to be tape delay and its a weak card for a ppv, great card if on spike tho. And with another at the end of the month 2 weeks later, i had to hope for spike. Hopefully something will change.

Now that's better. Just the way I thought the card would end up. I would like to see Mendes fight again as he looked really good against Thiago for the first minute ot two until t hit the ground and he was outclassed.
It is a weak card, but I have to say I am pretty thrilled to see Kang vs Belcher, which is probably the best opponent for Kang to display his reparte of skills and it should be pretty competetive as well. I expect one of Anderson Silva's last fights to be up against this guy.
Always interested in watchng Palhares fight. Once the fight hits the ground, his entire body just seems to be one big vice grip. I will be shocked if Horn can last more than a couple minutes on the ground. No disrespect to Horn, he's a fantastic grappler, but I think Palhares is something special.
Of course who doesn't want to see Franklin vs Hendo. Only way I think Hendo can win is by ground control, or a big right hand. Rich is just the more complete striker, and I think his underrated jiujitsu will be on full display.
