UFC 72 intrigues me, but it can't hold a candle to UFC 73: STACKED because the card for 72 is, well, STACKED! Check it out:

UFC 73: Stacked - finalized fight card announced

Posted by Performify on May 31, 2007 at 5:25 pm ET (UFCJUNKIE.COM)

UFC.com’s Thomas Gerbasi announced today that the full fight card for UFC 73: Stacked has been finalized. UFC 73 is scheduled for Saturday July 7, 2007 and takes place in Sacramento’s ARCO Arena. You can see the finalized fight card on UFC.com. The aptly-named “Stacked” card officially features the following bouts:



Champion Anderson "The Spider" Silva vs. Nate Marquardt (for middleweight title)

Champion Sean Sherk vs. Hermes Franca (for lightweight title)

Rashad Evans vs. Tito Ortiz

Heath Herring vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira

Kenny Florian vs. Alvin Robinson

Stephan Bonnar vs. Mike Nickels

Drew Fickett vs. Chris Lytle

Jorge Gurgel vs. Diego Saraiva

Mark Bocek vs. Frank Edgar



That's right, TWO championship fights AND Rashad Evans vs. Ortiz AND "Big Nog" Nogueira who has come over from PRIDE to terrorize the HW division. On top of that we get to see KenFlo AND Stephan Bonnar as well as a very tough WW fighter in Fickett. If you can't tell, I'm squirming with delight. Don't forget about the free fight on June 12th. We may end up watching it at my house on the 13th, but I will see what I can work out to watch it live. I have school that night so it'd have to be at 9PM as opposed to 8PM on Wednesday. What works better for you?
