This is an absolutely unreal card! 7 legitimate superstars/big name fighters on it. Miguel Torres is not even on the poster that's how stacked it is!!

Franklin vs Forrest is one of those horrible fights where you don't want either guy to lose.

I'd like to see Franklin in a fight where we can unabashedly root for him. It's been a while. He keeps getting put in with legends. Hendo, Wandy, Belfort, Liddell, Forrest.

Agreed. Franklin and Forrest are 2 of my favorite fighters and I have no idea who to root for.

Yeah, Forrest can use the win more. There's no shame for Franklin to lose to him.

Not possible to root against Rich Franklin. He could be fighting an old, arthritic grandma who recently contracted malaria from volunteering in Africa to help diseased children and I would still root for Rich.

:rofl2: I'm going for Franklin too. Hopefully we'll see Griffin run out of the cage crying again.

I feel bad for Ellenberger. He goes from having a well earned, high profile fight against Jon Fitch to fighting a dangerous fighter who doesn't have a big name. There's no upside for Ellenberger, even if he wins this fight.

I wish this was the New Year's card. Not only because I can't wait to see it, but because I want less time for this card to be ruined. It's hard to pick between Griffin and Franklin, but I think I'm going with Griffin. He's younger and Franklin got a big KO of Chuck to go out on.

I hope Franklin destroys Griffin.

I can't stand Forrest. His whole funny man gimmick is very annoying.

Just saw the updated card for this...it's beyond stacked.


MAIN CARD

* Champ Anderson Silva vs. Vitor Belfort (for middleweight title)
* Forrest Griffin vs. Rich Franklin
* Jake Ellenberger vs. Carlos Eduardo Rocha
* Ryan Bader vs. Jon Jones
* Antonio Banuelos vs. Miguel Torres

PRELIMINARY CARD

* Paul Kelly vs. Donald Cerrone*
* Chad Mendes vs. Michihiro Omigawa
* Gabe Ruediger vs. Paul Taylor
* Demetrious Johnson vs. Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto
* Kyle Kingsbury vs. Ricardo Romero
* Mike Pierce vs. Kenny Robertson

Kelly vs. Cerrone is badass, though Stout vs. Kelly would have been pretty damn good too.

Mendes vs. Omigawa might be boring, but that's a huge fight. Talking possible FW #1 contender fight.

Kid's debut!

Holy crap. That's a serious card.

I don't think I know Rocha though...

That card is crazy, there is a couple of fights that could easy make the main card. Wow.

That main card is unreal, it has names it has styles, it has great night written all over it.
