I am more interested in JDS vs. Overeem than the mainevent itself. The first fight was so one sided and I can't see this fight being any different. Overeem won't treat JDS like a joke like he did with Bigfoot and he will know that he has to show him respect otherwise he is going to be finished early in the fight. Will be good seeing Overeem having to go into a fight knowing that he is the underdog and has to bring his all.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Yeah, the combo of getting KTFO by the slow as hell Bigfoot and facing a good striker in JDS should make him drop the ego and fight properly, still not sold on Blackzillians keeping him as sharp as Golden Glory did.

Ryan Bader injured, James Te-Huna replaces him in his fight with Glover.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Interesting, Te Huna could prove himself here but I dont fancy his chances.

 

[monkeystyle]

Me neither. Te Huna is going to look to take it to the ground and Texiera is a BJJ black belt so he'll be no slouch there.

So yeah, kudos to Te Huna for stepping up but he's going to get murdered.

 

[The Cork]

Better fight, don't like Bader at all and could easily see him wrestlefucking to a decision and ruining some potentially good fights.

 

[Troy]

Brave of Te Huna to step up against Glover but I guess you would jump at an opportunity like this to prove yourself. He has a good UFC record of 5-1 but hasn't faced much top flight opposition. Unless he gets a lucky punch I can't see him winning.

It's been in ages since i've seen Maynard fight. He's going up against an upstart in Grant, so that should be a really fun fight. This card is actually pretty good looking at it. For some reason, it's getting a bad perception due to main event. Still JDS vs Hunt, Cerrone vs Noons, and lightweight battle I mentioned should be really good fights. Never seen Te-Huna so can't really formulate an opinion on him.

I've seen that entrance, it's awesome. Just never seen him in an actual fight. I'm not big on Glover as a legit contender.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Glover is a contender for if no other reason than LHW is shallow as fuck and there's bugger all legit contenders right now. All the pride guys are done and dusted, Rashad's hit or miss, I cant buy into Gustaffson or Bader as top guys. You've pretty much just got Jones and Machida and hopefully Gegard after he smashes Gustafson.

 

[No More Sorrow]

The JDS-Hunt fight may not happen, Mark Hunt was arrested in New Zealand and has been denied a work visa to fight at this event.

 

[Slim]

What? What in the world man. mark Hunt bout to have his biggest fight... and what did he do?
