Light Heavyweight Championship bout: Lyoto Machida (c) vs. Mauricio Rua
Welterweight bout: Josh Koscheck vs. Paul Daley
Lightweight bout: Sam Stout vs. Jeremy Stephens
Heavyweight bout: Kimbo Slice vs. Matt Mitrione
Middleweight bout: Patrick Côté vs. Alan Belcher

Preliminary Card
Middleweight bout: Tim Credeur vs. Tom Lawlor
Welterweight bout: Marcus Davis vs. Jonathan Goulet
Welterweight bout: TJ Grant vs. Johny Hendricks
Heavyweight bout: Joey Beltran vs. Chad Corvin
Welterweight bout: Yoshiyuki Yoshida vs. Mike Guymon
Middleweight bout: Nick Catone vs. John Salter​

This is by far a pretty stacked main televised card. The obvious: Machida vs. Shogun, Koscheck vs. Daley, and Kimbo's first PPV fight.

But Sam Stout vs. Stephens should be a war, those guys have always put on underrated fights and always put on a great show. Also Cote vs. Belcher. Cote's comeback fight since his injury against Silva at UFC 90. Belcher had a TKO stoppage in the 1st round against Gouveia not too long ago and his BS decision lose to Sexyama. I might actually order this one.

Machida vs. Shogun 2 is one of my most highly anticipated matches so this will be fucking sweet to see. Machida is already in the top 5 best fighters in the world but after his controversial win over Shogun he needs to prove he is the better man with this fight. Kimbo fight should be interesting. I don't have much interest in the other fights though.

As long as Cecil Peoples isn't anywhere near the judging table all should be good.

Paul Daley said fuck a lot in the preshow countdown.

 

[NinoBrown]

Pretty sure he'll say fuck again once Dana suspends him.

 

[str8edgepunk]

Daley got cut today. What a fucking dumbass.

 

[Wordlife]

Personally, it wasn't even much of a cheap shot, Daley barely even hit him lol

But still, that's very unsportsmanlike, send his ass to Strikeforce, they allow that kind of stuff there anyways.

I am absolutely thrilled with the outcomes of these fights, well except Kimbo's fight, but let's face it we all knew the guy wasn't a surefire win over Mitrione.

I still need to watch the fights since I didn't see them last night, but Rua TKO'd Machida. Finally after going all this time saying Machida isn't in the GSP-Anderson Silva league, Shogun proved it. For god's sake Dana please do NOT book another immediate rematch this wasn't a decision, clean cut winner. That's it.

So glad that Koscheck won too. I really want to see Koscheck become champ in the UFC and him as a coach on TUF will be very entertaining. He knows how to work reality shows due to his own time on TUF, just imagine what he'll bring to the table on TUF next season, against his former opponent GSP never the less.

 

[NinoBrown]

Koscheck wanted everyone to know he's still that asshole in the UFC, so even after getting that cheapshot he decided to talk shit about the Pens winning lol.

Koscheck was the lesser of two evils on this PPV. This PPV was decent. I wasn't too impressed with Jeremy Stephens. He talks about the power in his hands but he couldn't put Stout out.

 

[Colin Gimp]

depressed that Cote got choked out. I missed the fight actually, walked in during the kimbo fight.

Card fucking sucked. Shogun fight put a big grin on my face. Guy was ready to take that title from the first video we seen of him backstage. He was brutal, cunning and very professional he's a great champion for the sport and for the fans. though armin van buuren's sail was the best part of that PPV

I do not think Shogun did enough to with the belt. Had this been a regular fight, I think it may have been scored differently. In my opinion though, to beat the champ you have to really BEAT the champ.
