I hope Mir vs. Lesnar isn't a one minute-letdown. I wanna see that go the distance.

I won't to see GSP lose so bad, but Alves is not the guy to do it.

If Alves is not the guy to beat GSP, then no one at 170 is. IMO Alves is built to beat GSP. I'm not saying he will, more that his strengths are GSP's weaknesses.

I have never wanted to spend $50 on a PPV, but I'm going to July 11th. With my luck the fights will suck, but I'll take the chance.

Manadala Bay?

I didn't know the UFC had expanded to India.

IMHO I don't think this card will live up to the hype. And while I may be flamed for this I think the fights on the main card are really predictable...

With that said I'll take

Lesnar
GSP
Fitch
Hendo
Akiyama

Out of these I'm most excited for the GSP fight as I think it's the hardest the call, also looking forward to Dan kicking Bisping's ass and Lesnar dominating Mir and getting the win he so rightly deserves.

From the Prelims I'm not familiar with all but I'll take
Bonnar
Miller
Jones
TJ
CB
Grice

Man what an event, there's a bunch of those undercard fights I wish would be on the main card, I mean its stacked with main card potential so deep ...

I cant wait.

I expect to see some haters still come out of the wood work, "what? ufc100? should be 5 title fights and 5 contender fights, thats what pride would do for its centenary."

Anyone who complains is crazy

I think i'm looking forward to the Jon Jones fight more than anything.

Assuming GSP wins, how much truth is there to those GSP vs Silva super fight rumours?

There is a lot of truth to that.

few months ago:

"Georges St. Pierre has the opportunity to possibly beat BJ Penn for the second time and possibly move up and take on Anderson Silva at 185 pounds." White said at a media teleconference.

“I’m focused on Toronto now. I want to do a big event in Toronto. And who knows? Like I said, I don’t like to look past guys. Everybody who fights in the UFC is tough. (But) if Georges St. Pierre could get through Thiago Alves, who knows? Maybe we do Anderson Silva and Georges St. Pierre in Toronto.”

GSP vs. Silva in Toronto!

I WILL BE THERE!

P.S Jon Jones is a stud and has an amazing future ahead of him. I remember when he dominated Stephan Bonnar at UFC 94 with a variety of moves especially the spinning elbow. Looking forward to his match although it wont be on the main card.

Stacked card, really looking forward to seeing Mir destroying Lesnor, I cant stand him. GSP/Alves is a interesting fight I see Alves pulling off the upset. Hendo needs to gnp that English Douche to submission, also excited for Sexyama to bring his sexy self to the octagon. Hopefully we get to see Jon Jones the dude is a freak out there and also CB who is looking AWSOME these days.

So I'm not the only one who would like to see that.

I don't care who wins the Lesnar/Mir fight, I just don't want it to go down similar to last time. A quick TKO for Lesnar or a sneaky submission by Mir. I want to see a few rounds at least. I have an easier time seeing this fight finished quickly one way or another, though.
