The hour-long special presentation will provide a glimpse into the preparation and training camps of the fighters set to headline the show, including main event participants UFC Heavyweight Champion Randy Couture and former WWE superstar, Brock Lesnar.

The only thing I hate about the countdowns is that it makes me go crazy all week waiting for the fight!

Countdowns are the best. I hope b.w. was right about them doing a series of them for BJ/GSP like HBO does for big boxing matches.

I wouldn’t get your hopes up. THere were rumors of that same thing for this fight as well, but it never came to fruition.

I don’t get too excited for the countdowns, usually it’s the same clips crammed into a spike show with commercials that we’ve been seeing for weeks!

i just so hope that after this fight it will be like – how did the captain rag doll a 370lb monster!? how did he take lesnar down and batter him?! how did he finish it in less that 3 minutes?!
lets wait n see. Go Randy !!- mash the big man up!

True DAT! Monday night TV sucks balls. Are they going to show Lesnar escaping from the Gorilla zoo exhibit when he was a boy? It’s more like Captian Propecia than Captain America. This is gonna be AWESOME!

I was waiting for the lame Prison Break reference while reading this comment…

Countdowns are the best but im really looking forward to this one. Im counting down till sat. I predict a bruised ego and tears after the fight from Lesnar.

Big John McCarthy told me over the weekend.. he sees Randy defeating Lesnar in this fight.

Hey Phil: Awesome experience this past weekend! Thanks for sharing, he seems like a down to earth kind of guy. Interesting on his take of B.J. Funny bc now you can say $hit like," Big John told me!"

I agree under one condition. Randys age doesn’t show. If his age doesn’t finally effect his performance, I think that he will simply outclass Brock.
That’s not to say that Brock can’t surprise us. Lets face it. He is a work in progress and we don’t know what kind of things he will be bringing to the table this time around. He could very well defeat a game Randy Couture. We will have to wait and see but I still would lean towards Randy.

For sure, RANDY FTW, that way I can stick it in “introverts” face the rest of ’08 and probably a few months of ’09.

The Countdown should be a lot better than that weak event commercial. It’s the crappiest ufc event preview for such an unforgettable night.
Can’t wait for tonight and Im rooting for RANDY ALL THE WAY.

Ugh. This event starts at like 6 Alaska time. I have to work till 6. Once I get off, I’m hauling ass to watch this fight. Hope I don’t miss too much of Quarry vs Maia.

I have Joe Stevenson winning by submission or decision in the late round.
I believe kenny has a disadvantage against quick and powerful wrestler like Joe, something tells me.

Yawn
Not crazy about the main card, though I know the wrestlers at my gym are. The only other two fights worth watching is Quarry/Maia and Florian/Stevenson.
