UFC81:Breaking Point - This Fight Card is Broken!

Are we really here? Just last month we were a buzz over one of the greatest matches in UFC history with the Liddell/Silva fight in UFC79. We are now at UFC81 looking forward to a former WWE wrestler's debut on the freaking MAIN CARD??!? The UFC has managed to scape together a program the night before the Super Bowl with some questionable choices on the main card. I won't even address the undercard this time because of all the uncertainty. A TUF5 alum in Rob Emerson is fighting there though. Hopefully, he does better than his outing in the Ultimate Fighter Finale, as well as not get caught doing anything illegal. That didn't work out too well for Rob! So, here it is, such as it is, UFC81:Breaking Point's Main Card.

Tim "The Maine-iac" Sylvia(26-3-0) vs. Antonio "Minotauro" Rodrigo Nogueira(30-4-1) This is actually one of the only good matches on the program. We have the classic stand up vs. submission fight with Sylvia vs. Nogueira. This figures to be a great Heavyweight Title, excuse me, Interim Title match. These two have plenty of experience under their respective belts. The Minotauro is a Jiu Jitsu expert having been an instructor before stepping into the Octagon. I'm leaning towards the Minotauro choking out the Maine-iac. I guess it's my West Coast bias since my Chargers aren't playing this week because of the Pats!!
