Babalu vs. Marvin Eastman?
WHY is this fight happening? Babalu deserves a Title Shot NOW. Babalu is undefeated for the last 3.5 years. His last loss is to Chuck. Babalu also just beat van arsdale, wasnt Randy given another shot after he beat the same guy. UFC is showing us who is, and isnt important to them. Babalu should be fighting Chuck next, not a "pointless" Marvin Eastman ...what is going on... Anybody?
EDIT: When I made this Thread, I did not know about Chucks injury...

They have no one else for him to fight and would rather give him a walk over opponent and set something up for him in the future than bring someone in that can beat him and fuck things up.

You got me searchin for the source all over the place. I read it, and will find it. This "might" still be considered a maybe, but it will most likely happen. And should NOT.

Chuck Liddell is medically suspended right now and may need surgery on his toe...he can't fight. Babalu needs to stay active to build his name so when Chuck gets back they can fight. End of story.

Easy for Babalu, I agree that he needs to stay active now that Chuck is suspended.

He's fighting Eastman? When? Why Eastman? Can't they find like a Vernon White or something?

And Chuck's toe? Didn't hear about this. How long is he gona be on the shelf?

They have this fight listed in the rumors section of mmaweekly.com

I agree, what the hell is this fight supposed to be? He should fight Liddel for the title. The UFC needs to be a little more fair with it's fight line ups. One of the few things that bugs me about the UFC.

It's a placeholder fight....Chuck will fight Babalu but not on the same card as Hughes/Gracie.

For people that don't post on sherdog and know what Babalu has done since he lost to chuck they're building him up to be a big threat to CHuck (something Pride does as well) and when the fight happens it'll be the Main event and not sharing the spotlight with Royce Gracie.

Why not? Eastman is completely mediocre and will get washed by Babalu. It raises Babalu's stock with casual fans after he smokes Eastman. It isn't like he can fight Chuck right away anyway, since Chuck's toe might need surgery. Why not give Babalu an extra fight in between? The more Babalu, the better.
