Ultimate Fighting Championship 99 (UFC 99) :The Comeback would be held in Cologne and it’s the first ever event of UFC that will be held in Germany. It will be held on June the 13th and the main event would be the fight between Wanderlei Silva and Rich Franklin. Also, there will be a heavyweight bought between Cheick Kongo and Cain Velasquez. Cheick Kongo just replaced Heath Herring because of Herring’s illness that cancelled the fight with Cain Velasquez. It was already announced before that the two are going to be fighting each other but by May 20th, Kongo was announced to be the replacement.
The main event is between Rich Franklin and Wanderlei Silva who are both aiming to win after their losses. Franklin had lost over Henderson while Wanderlei Silva lost over Jackson at 205 pound weight divisions for both. Now both will be fighting at 195 pounds. This is a good thing especially for Silva who plans to fight in the 185 pound division. For a man his size, walking around at over 205 pounds, the transition to 185 pounds would be hard so having a weight in between the two before he drops to 185 pounds is an ideal transition.
The main card events for the fight are:
Rich Franklin versus Wanderlei Silva on the Catchweight division of 195 lbs, Cheick Kongo versus Cain Velasquez on the Heavyweight bought, Mike Swick versus Ben Saunders on the Welterweight, Marcus Davis versus Dan Hardy also on the welterweight, Spencer Fisher versus Caol Uno on the Lightweight division and Mirko Filipovic versus Mostapha Al-turk on another Heavyweight match.

UFC 98: Evans vs. Machida - Saturday, May 23, live on Pay-Per-View from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.. It’s a fight between the two undefeated champion Rashad “Sugar” Evans and Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida. With a combined record of 32-0-1, light heavyweight stars Evans and Machida have left a trail of destruction behind them that includes some of the greatest fighters in UFC history. Now in the main event of UFC 98, the two will meet in an epic showdown pitting champion Evans against challenger Machida to not only determine the best 205-pound fighter on the planet, but to see who leaves with a loss on their record for the first time.
UFC 98 was supposed to be a match between Frank Mir and Brock Lesnar, due to a knee injury, their fight was postponed and they were replaced with a fight between Quinton Jackson and Rashad Evans. Again, this fight wouldn’t be possible yet because Quinton Jackson too had to have some surgery on his damaged jaw. (more...)
Yey, I can't wait to watch UFC 96: Jackson vs Jardine Tomorrow. Everyone is predicting and I'm ready to see Rampage knockout Keith Jardine.

Also our fellow Filipino, Brandon "The Truth" Vera is going to fight Mike Patt on preliminary card, hope Brandon will win this time. Go Brandon! Yey!
