[The Cork]

I love the Belcher/Bisping fight, that should of been the #1 contender fight instead of Belfort IMO.

Jim Miller should prol be facing someone better than Pat Healy after beating Lauzon, and Nelson/Kongo already sounds like a contender for worst fight in company history.

Good to see SUPLEX MACHINE Khabilov again though.

 

[Slim]

This has to be the best Jones card I've seen.

But Kongo/Big Country won't be that bad. Nelson is gonna put him out of his misery.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Damn Kongo and Nelson is the opener? That's pretty crazy, I guess Dana knows that Kongo is a buzzkill these days and doesn't want him high on the card.

 

[Troy]

Another very solid card. Mainevent alone sells it for me but then to add in Bisping/Belcher, Phil Davis fighting again and Nelson/Kongo it adds up to one worthwhile card. I normally expect a big mainevent like this to have a pretty weak undercard so they can save the good fights to headline other shows but it is nice to see them stacking this card. Bisping can hopefully get back on track here but it will be tough, should be a really good fight.

That music does not fit the UFC style video packages at all.

 

[The Cork]

My man Chael is gonna get clowned....I don't know what he does after this fight as he's still an elite MW but I don't like his chances against the Machidas and Rashads @ 205.

He has his talk show gigs so could easily retire, no shame in getting TKO'd by the two top P4P guys though.

Chael going to work again, drawing in them buys.

 

[Franco]

Such a heel, channeling his inner Lanny Poffo.

 

[Troy]

Love it. One of the smartest fighters out there, knows that someone has to play the bad guy to get the buys and he does it so well.

Sonnen going up against my guy Bones Jones, a younger version of Silva with a hell of a lot more reach and better ground game; I got Jones.

I do respect Sonnen for the way he gets buys, BUT he's going to get destroyed cause Jones can actually throw a spinning elbow.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Sonnen does a great job of selling it but it'll just be a repeat of GSP-Diaz. Great hype job by the challenger but it'll be a one sided beating. Jones wrestling will negate Sonnen from being able to take him down as easily as he did Silva, so he wont be able to mix in his striking and takedowns as easily and throw Jones off.

One thing I did notice at the last PPV; which is the first ive got to watch in a few months is that they've started putting rankings next to the fighters name on introductions?
