Fight Night Tonight

One of my favorite reality series, which I guess is about the only one I watch, begins again tonight on Spike TV as The Ultimate Fighter begins their 12th season. So as usual that means there's a live fight card preceding it... UFC Fight Night 22.

It'll be live from the Frank Erwin Center in Austin, Tx and has a couple of very intriguing fights on it. Nate Marquardt is pretty close to being back in the middleweight title picture and he's going against Rousimar Palhares, who is on a three-fight win streak (Jeremy Horn, Lucio Linhares and Tomasz Drwal) and another win here would put his name in the hat at the top of the 185-pound division for a title shot. He's 4-1 since joining the UFC with his only loss being a decision to Dan Henderson. Nate's last fight with Chael Sonnen got Fight of the Night honors but he got tagged with a loss. He's 8-3 since joining the UFC. This should be a solid fight.

Here's the televised card and some vids:

* Nate Marquardt vs. Rousimar Palhares
* Efrain Escudero vs. Charles Oliveira
* Jim Miller vs. Gleison Tibau
* Cole Miller vs. Ross Pearson
