Great stuff. Some real great head-to-heads, impossible to pick.

Maia vs Story...jeez, the nicest guy in MMA versus its biggest piece of s***.

Agree with you guys.

Damien is such a class act, and Rick Story is an ucktard.
Hoping for a deep choke and Story's tongue spitting mouthward.

Rampage is in real trouble here if he doesn't take this one seriously, like Japan.
Glover is hungry and Page is HUGE name to notch the record with.

Fitch better not Fitch this fight, but he will.

And......Sergio Moraes! Yes! So glad this guy is back. His face cracks me up and he goes hard. 8-)

Oh, he'll try. He just won't be successful. It'll look like the Brenneman fight, IMO. CB and Fitch are stylistically the same fighter, but Fitch has somewhat better stand up. It'll be a moot point though, cuz Silva should take him out and has excellent TDD.

Really good card. And not all that far away.

Absolutely incredible card.

What do you guys think about the Silva vs Fitch fight? Will Silva stuff the takedowns like he did too Charlie Brenneman?

Silva looks to be part of the new breed in WW division so I hope he pulls this one out. It's kinda crazy to think that Fitch has only fought twice in the past two years.... I kinda miss that Fitch's persona when he gets into the ring. The look on his face before the bell rings is so raw and gets me hyped for the fight.

If he can, I think Fitch gets KO'd.

The line-up on this card would make for a pretty awesome grappling tournament

I think that Silva will win. Silva looked really impressive against Brenneman, whose a really good wrestler. I think that Silva will win and Rory will beat BJ, and then the UFC will match up Silva against Rory.

Also, this card has more fights that interest me than any card in a long time. Let's hope they stay healthy.

Sick card! That being said, it's not the first deep card the UFC has put together this year.....just saying.

*knock on wood*

Koch injured, Aldo to fight Edgar on this card.

Feel bad for Frankie, don't think he has the quickness to keep up with Aldo. Probably in for another beating in this one...

Huge fight! Can't wait! You can never count Frankie out.

Kinda feel bad about being this excited about an injury, but this is awesome.

This.

This is my #2 dream fight!

IMHO Aldo has the better standup, but Frankie has the better wrestling. Aldo supposedly has great BJJ, but I can't see him subbing Frankie. It should be a great fight.
