UFC 88 Fight Card Changes

by Kelvin Hunt on Aug 19, 2008 8:05 PM EDT in News Comment 6 comments

Jason MacDonald will come back very quickly from his loss at UFC 87 to face Jason Lambert. Originally Lambert was scheduled to face Jason Day. However, Day had to pull out of the fight with an injury. I like MacDonald/Lambert better anyways.

Also, Mike Patt will take a fight on short notice against Tim Boetsch. Originally Boetsch was scheduled to face James Lee.

I'm going to UFC 88...so I PRAY that nothing happens to any of the fights on the main card. The main card features the following fights:

Karo Parisyan vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida

Matt Hamill vs. Rich Franklin

Dan Henderson vs. Rousimar Palhares

Martin Kampmann vs. Nathan Marquardt

Chuck Liddell vs. Rashad Evans

This card is sweet...

Lambert and McDonald both have lost 3 of their last 5. I’m thinking this is a loser pounds the pavement match.

I agree.

I like this layout way better..color scheme and everything…nice work…and looks like I’ll be staying with my wife’s folks in Atlanta, so I’ll probably be driving myself, but maybe we can meet up or something before or after the show, have a drink or two
