Re: UFC 152: Benavidez vs. Johnson

I actually think this would be a pretty good main card, I just don't like Benvidez and Johnson main eventing the show. As of right now there's no Preliminary fights announced. Obviously they'll get added as the show gets closer.

This show takes place in Toronto, Canada. UFC 149 which is being held in Canada as well, completely fell apart and turned into a terrible card. Hopefully this show doesn't have the same fate. I don't like those two main eventing but I can deal with it because i actually like the flyweights. I'd love to see Penn-MacDonald main event though.

Expect Mark Hominick to be added to this card at some point as well.

Don't really care about the flyweights but the card is pretty stacked.

I reckon it'll go under the radar because of the headliner but Bisping/Stann is a solid fight w/ contender connotations, BJ is making his glorious comeback only to retire again when Rory kicks his ass, and Hettes is the best prospect in MMA IMO. Can't ask for much more really.

Even though I'll be wrong, I'm picking Penn in this fight with MacDonald.

I think Rory is going to surprise folks and really take it to BJ and get the win.

BJ is def more than just a gatekeeper, but Rory has the advantage of GSP in his corner, whos kicked BJ's ass twice before and knows the drill by now.

Why is the flyweight title the main event? The main event should be the interesting match up of Penn vs McDonald. This is UFC 101 all over again... Well than again Penn vs Florian was more interesting than Benavidez vs Johnson.

Re: UFC 152: Benavidez vs. Johnson

Evan Dunham vs. T.J. Grant and Vinny Magalhaes vs. Igor Pokrajac have both been added to this card.

There's a press conference tomorrow afternoon in Toronto to make this show official, will post it on here for anybody who's interested.

Updated the card with some new fights that have been announced as well.

Very good main card barring any injuries.

Hopefully that run of shitty PPVs is over now.

Re: UFC 152: Benavidez vs. Johnson

Hopefully. There's Quality events from UFC 150-152 and 153 is meh because it's Aldo/Koch main eventing and UFC 154 has GSP/Condit and Kampmann/Hendricks. So hopefully there's no injuries.

Sick of shit like UFC 149 and 147, although UFC 147 was atleast watchable while UFC 149 was abysmal.

Bisping vs Stann I forgot is on this card. Damn this card looks pretty solid. Also has Evan Dunham been on pre lims lately? Last time I heard him fighting on the main card was against Guillard. Could be wrong.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Re: UFC 152: Benavidez vs. Johnson

Yeah his last few fights have all been on the prelims, don't think he'll end up on the main card once this show is finalized.

Here's an update from BJ Penn, love the part when he basically tells Jon Fitch to fuck off.
