UFC 103 is an event that features a conglomeration of intriguing fights that hold a good chance of turning out just as exciting as they seem on paper. Both the main event and co-main (Franklin/Belfort, CroCop/dos Santos) boast big names that are all dynamic and explosive strikers and whom prefer to follow the fan-friendly strategy of "standing and banging".
Really, the same could be said for the Martin Kampmann vs. Mike Swick encounter, which is rumored to determine GSP's next opponent. Conversely, Frank Trigg and Josh Koscheck are some of the best wrestlers in the sport and will look to impose their powerful top games on one another, but both have also drastically improved their stand-up over the years to become well-rounded combatants.
Finally, completing the main card, Tyson Griffin versus Hermes Franca pits two game lightweights against one another, with Griffin having the wrestling and striking advantage, and Hermes enjoying the punching power and submission edge. Griffin has won many a "Fight of the Night" bonus, and fan-favorite Hermes rarely disappoints, so overall this assemblage of talent is looking bulletproof from a matchmaking standpoint.
