What's confusing?

[gbells]

the continuing changing of the line-up, but i was only pulling your leg

I see.

Well, when I first made the posts, those are all rumored fights, not confirmed. As the date gets closer to the actual events, more and more fights get confirmed and now it's finalized.

What I'm surprised is how stacked this fight card is and they are "forced" to have a former UFC Heavyweight champion, Andrei Arlovski, to fight in undercard and not on a main event.

just to clarify...If Silva loses he doesnt give up his title does he?

Of course he'll lose his middleweight championship belt, if he loses.

[drallig9399]

Ok, now I'm confused. Is Henderson going to be fighting as a light heavy or a middle. I thought this was just a inter-division matchup because the other middle weights are too shook to fight Silva. Sherk should come back to the middle weights after his suspension, I'd like to see that fight.

Also how the HELL does Henderson get a shot at the light heavy and the middle weight titles back to back???? That is insane and unfair. UFC is irking me today!!!!!!!!

You'll have to remember that Henderson was the only man to hold both weight division titles in the Pride. So, when he fought Rampage, he was fighting at the light heavyweight division. Now that he's fighting Anderson Silva, he is fighting at the middle weight division.
