UFC 73 Fight Card Finalized

The UFC 73 Fight Card, named appropriately "Stacked" has been finalized according to UFC.com. Of course, we've known all about this stellar card for a long time, but here is the official version from UFC.com.

First of all, there are two title fights. The middleweight and lightweight titles are on the line on July 7th.

UFC Middleweight Title Fight:
Anderson Silva vs Nate Marquardt

UFC Lightweight Title Fight:
Sean Sherk vs Hermes Franca

If there were no other fights on the UFC 73 Fight Card than those two, it would still be worth watching, but in the immortal words of Ronco, but wait, there's more!

How about the UFC debut of top heavyweight submission artist Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira facing Heath Herring in what is sure to be a match set up to decide a UFC Heavyweight title shot.

and there is also the return of lightweight wizard Kenny Florian who faces UFC newcomer Alvin Robinson

and the night is rounded out with three more fights:
Jorge Gurgel vs Diego Saraiva
Chris Lytle vs Drew Fickett
Frank Edgar vs Mark Bocek

But wait, there's more!

Stephan Bonnar is also back in the octagon, taking on Ultimate Fighter season three alumni Mike Nickels.

Ok, if I stopped here you would buy the PPV, wouldn't you, but as I said before...wait, there's more:
Tito Ortiz vs Rashad Evans
Who knows if the bad blood between these two is for real, or just their attempt to hype the fight. Let me tell you, this fight does not need hype. It will be an all out war between two wrestlers who've improved every aspect of their game. I am not looking forward to having to do a prediction on this fight!
