Jesus Christ this looks awful.

Browne/Rothwell and DMJ/Swick are the only good fights on here and they mean nothing to their divisions.

I definitely wouldn't mind seeing Machida/Shogun III for the contender slot.

Shogun needs to tie up a couple more wins. But I don't really wanna see Shogun/Machida III. I mean the first one Shogun should have won... the second he straight up won. Shogun vs. Bader might be a little interesting. I dunno but I do wanna see Shogun return to Pride mode and just run over people. Vicious Shogun mode.

Machida/Bader is gonna be interesting cause Machida still gotta get his groove back :p

Alexander Gustaffson is some where in the mix too, think he's going to end up being Shogun's next opponent after Vera. Winner gets a shot at Jones.

I can't stand Brandon Vera and I can't believe that he is maineventing this card. Shogun is going to run right through him and hopefully finish him in the first round. Disappointed that Phil Davis is off the main card as well.

No doubt Shogun runs right through Vera. And i guess the UFC let him pick his opponent and he chose Vera for some reason, likely because it'll be an easy win.

Machida/Bader has potential to be worse than Maynard/Guida.

Other than that it's solid, hope Varner keeps on a roll (never liked Lauzon for some reason, prol cuz he choked out Guillard) and Browne/Rothwell is a great stand-up fight.

Shogun/Vera will look like one of those Ryback squash matches in WWE.

DMJ/Swick is a very good fight too on the prelims, could be a sleeper FOTN.

Well Machida has been a little more aggressive so it might not be too bad. Not FOTN for sure but it could be watchable. Big Ben is gonna have a pretty decent fight. He always does. But Shogun... mannnnn... Vera is gonna want to never fight again after this beating. This will be more one sided than Vera's fight against Jones.

Or even Vera-Thiago Silva :lol: I'll give Vera a small chance, but that's it.

:lol: this is completely random, but i completely forgot that Vera Ko'd Mir back when he was fighting at heavyweight.

But anyways, I do like the card though, i think Shogun-Vera has the potential to end with a Sick KO by Shogun. Also, even though it's only the prelims It's cool to see Mitrione and Nam Phan back in action, Mike Swick is always awesome also.

Im going to this card... god do not want to be near any Shogun nuthuggers. Can someone tell me why someone so overrated in the MMA has so many nuthuggers that makes excuses when he loses. I mean I'll admit I am a fan of overrated Faber, but shit when he loses I say well he sucked it up, or he fucked up. Shogun fans just annoy the crap out of me. No offense to anyone who is a Shogun fan, but can you please explain what is your love for this guy thanks.

Also Bader vs Machida is going to be such a weird watch live.

Well I'm the type that if a guy loses... then he loses and thats all there is to it. I don't understand how some people can see a guy lose and make excuses like well he shoulda won unless it was a very close decision that literally could have went either way like Shogun/Machida I. But Shogun is a good and very durable fighter. Like the fight he had against Hendo last year... that was freakin awesome. That was a real awesome fight. 5 rounds of straight action. Shogun is a good strong fighter. And against Vera... he will dominate.

Yeah, he's had a library of great fights, that's why I'm a fan anyway.
