I would just assume MMA fans know who's fighting, it being a pretty big UFC event. The time it took you to voice your displeasure at me for not listing the fight card you could have typed UFC in google or visited any mma site and you'd have the answer.

Event should be fun! Shame about the main event though, was shocked when Vera got the nod. Plus Bones Jones has beaten all four of the possible #1 contenders pretty convincingly.

True, I had it down as an Edgar win. Looks like dana's gonna make him drop down now and fight Aldo.

Cowboys KO over Gullard was very entertaining.

I thought Benson won. Aldo will destroy Edgar, Edgars only hope is to drag him to the later rounds.
Cerrone Guillard was always gonna be FOTN

Ronda Rousay slayed as normal. Really think she is the person who is going to bring women's MMA into the mainstream

I don't know,the key problem is that there literally aren't any other female fighters at her level. So I compare her more to Anderson Silva. Her skill level is way beyond anyone elses in her division and the only hope of beating her is the equivalent of Chael Sonnen - a fighter specifically designed to beat her best skills. So for Anderson that meant someone who could take him down and keep him there and for Ronda it means someone who can stop the take down or get up quickly without getting wrapped up in the submission.

no, dana is big time pissed at jon jones for not accepting a fight with chael sonnen.

Last week Jones said he didn't want to fight machida again, Dana just said in the conference call that if Jones doesn't accept the fight, he'll be cut, more or less.

Haven't watched it but was Dana really pissed at Jones the golden boy?, really would have liked to see Sonnen versus Jones that Jones apparently turned down.
