Of course we all know the main event the eagerly anticipated rematch for the Welterweight title between Matt Hughes and BJ Penn.

Louiseu will be facing some stiff compeittion in Mike "Quick" Swick who is 9-1 (4-0 in the UFC). Swick has won every fight in his UFC career within the first 3 min of the first round, hence the nickname quick.

Interesting card so far, I imagine Louiseu will make short work of Swick, unless Swick is "the real deal" and is on his way to dominating the UFC. Then again, some people said Leben was gonna be huge in the UFC, but Anderson Silva sure did think otherwise...

UFC 63 will air live Sept 23rd
Main Event: Welterweight Title Match: Champion- Matt Hughes Vs Challenger- BJ Penn
David "the Crow" Louiseu Vs Mike "Quick" Swick
Jens "lil Evil" Pulver Vs Joe Lauzon
Melvin Guillard Vs Gabe "Godzilla" Ruediger
Rashad Evans vs. Jason Lambert
Jorge Gurgel (9-2, last fight in UFC lost to Homminick) vs. Danny Abaddi (0-1 last fight in UFC lost to Kalib Starnes)
Tyson Griffin (7-0 UFC debut) vs. David Lee (5-1, UFC debut)
Roger Huerta (14-1-1, UFC debut) vs. Jason Reinhardt (17-0, UF debut)
Gabriel Gonzaga (6-1, 2-0 In UFC, last fight beat Fabiano Schrner) vs. Mario Neto (9-3, UFC debut)

Interstiong card, definitly the main card is INCREDIBLE but the undercard is eh at best. Lots of good hype aroudn Tyson Griffin who could give the lightweigth division a run of its money.

As for LC comment..to leben's credit he was fighting The Spider...one of the best damn middleweights in the world. I think Swick will; have a good fight on his hand and hopefully Louiseu will have some confidence back after being bitchedaround by Franklin.
