Cage Rage: Americans Don't Care, But Maybe They Should Watch Anyway

I would only like to mention that, despite the presence of one moderately washed up UFC Hall-of-Famer (no, not Dan Severn), the card looks genuinely interesting.

The return of Neil Grove is emminent, and he weighed in at 273 pounds (what can I say, he's a big boy, but not quite as big as his 282 pound opponent).

The fight between Jean "The White Bear" Silva and Masakazu Imanari will be a war. Silva is coming off of a TKO win over submission master Chris Brennan, and Imanari is coming off of four straight wins, all of which is he has finished in impressive fashion (1 KO and 3 submissions).

I think the overall card looks interesting, as it also promises the return of Mustapha al-Turk, who had won four straight first round destructions (including on submission of former phenom Mark "The Smashing Machine" Kerr) before dropping a decision. Hopefully, he'll put on some fireworks.

Anyway, just thought that American fans might be curious as to what the rest of the MMA world does when the UFC is off the air.
