Fight card on July 19th pay per view. God vs. Tim Sylvia. Josh Barnett vs. Pedro Rizzo. Andrei Arlovski vs. Ben Rothwell. Renato Babalu Sobral vs. Mike Whitehead. Matt Lindland vs. Fabio Negao. Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs. Edwin DeWees. Aleksander Emelianenko vs. Paul Buentello. Vitor Belfort vs. Terry Martin. Justin Levens vs. Ray Lizama. Mike Pyle vs. JJ Ambrose. Savant Young vs. Mark Hominick.

Any fight card with God on it has to be something special. Tim Sylvia is usually rated in the top 5 so I figure he's a pretty decent opponent for God. God may be a bit ring rusty, so you never know. I'd make God a 20-1 favorite, but maybe I tend to overrate God a wee bit.

Josh Barnett is a pisser. Great sense of humor. Good wrestler too. The guys who beat Pedro Rizzo are good. These two guys fought each other once before and Pedro knocked Josh out. I'd be surprised if he can do it again and I expect Josh to win this time. Aside from Cro Cop, who has Josh's number, Josh Barnett has a fantastic MMA record. I think he's better than Tim Sylvia.

I think of Andrei Arlovski and Ben Rothwell as two guys in the lower half of the top ten. This is a good matchup. Matt Lindland gets some weird matchups. First he has to fight God and now he has to fight who? Fabio who?

Little Nog should be able to take Edwin DeWees. It was originally scheduled to be Vernon Tiger White, who is a has-been, and now it's DeWees. I don't know why they don't give Little Nog some more credible competition.

God's baby brother Aleksander is up against a hard hitter named Paul Buentello, but again, baby bro should be able to take him. Buentello isn't a mismatch though and has a shot.

Terry Martin is the guy who made Whatshisname famous, James Irvin. James Irvin threw a flying knee and it landed on Terry Martin. That's the claim to fame for both of them.

If you get FSN, put it on at 8:00. They said they are airing three of the undercard fights for free on FSN, and I think one of them is God's baby bro Alek vs. Buentello.

This may be the best MMA fight card I can think of. Lots of top heavyweights. It will be fun to get to see God live in action.
