There is a strong rumour going around that Giorgio Petrosyan will face Nieky 'The Natural' Holzken at It's Showtime Amsterdam Arena 2010

if it's true, that would be a match up, up untill now, that looks like this:

Arthur Kyshenko vs Murat Direkçi

Andy Souwer vs Pajonsuk

Despite his showing against Buakaw, i think Nieky will give Petrosyan a good fight.

A really nice card - better than pretty much any UFC card ever. The only one missing, from my point of view, is Gokhan Saki.

this might be the best fight card in Europe ever. Incredible line-up. I hope there will be some big fights on the other Its Showtime cards too.

I got one question about Its Showtime: whats the deal with these busy schedules with fighters? Before his last fight,Murat Direkci was already scheduled against Petrosyan and Kyshenko,while El Hadj was scheduled against Ngimbi and Buakaw.

So now that means Petrosyan will fight for the title in november. But what if El Hadj won? Ngimbi would have gotten the title shot. So no matter how good you are,your title shot depends on two other fighters. It just doesnt seem right to me. Am I missing something?

yeah,Gokhan would be a perfect addition,he should fight in the -95kg weight class against somebody,for example against Samedov for the title shot.

The it's showtime titles aren't that serious if you ask me........and I don't know if all those matches would be title fights

compare it to strikeforce......it's titles are not that serious, especially the heavyweight title that overeem has......he doesnt even have to defend it'

it's showtime only recently started their own titles......so it would take a while before they have some sort of legitimacy
