    sick sick card! all of these fights are gonna be wars. The undercard alone could have been its own Card on spike or on versus and to top it all off we finally get to see Titos sorry ass cut by the UFC

    What a card! Some of the prelims could easily be on a main card.

    can't believe Sotiropoulos is on the prelims... he was one fight away from a title shot last time he fought!

    Guillard vs Roller should be on the main card!

    instead of Siver vs Wiman or Condit vs Kim but only because Kim has a very boring style but who knows Condit is no joke on the ground so i hope we see another Karo vs Diaz or Diaz vs Sanchez fight! If not then it will be LnP by Dong Kim.



    Also Bowles vs Mizugaki is going to be a suck fight!

    i hope Guillard vs Roller and Bowles vs Mizugaki are the Spike fights!



    On the Main Event well where do i start , yes Faber has a win over Cruz , but Cruz is not near the same he was in their first fight

    i think Dominick is going to outstrike Faber on the stand up and take Urija down at will, getting the U decision or who knows maybe a late TKO this guys do not like each other at all!

    Yeah, I got DC in this one too. He's improved a lot since their first meeting, and I think Urijah's been on the decline, for some time now. Leben/Wand will be a war, a slugfest of the highest calibre. Don't really care who wins, I got Leben, though. Should be a great fight. I think this could be Tito's last hooray, can't see him beating Bader.

    Its funny how Tito always says the same thing before every fight "Physically Ive never felt like this before" and after the fight he is gonna come up with his new excuse "I had a Penile fracture... from f*cking too much with Jenna and Naked pictures"



    Honestly I dont see him winning..

    So true!! Tito claims he is in top condition before every fight and then the stupid excuses start rolling in when he loses. Bader is going to steamroll this clown.

    Siver is way under-rated, and he completely impressed me with his win over Sots.

    Wish it was Siver vs Guillard.

    Tito is going to get outclassed so freakin' bad.

    Wand vs Chris will give lots of MMA fans chills.

    Dominick Cruz will dominated Faber on the stand up as well as on the ground. it may go to Decision but i think a TKO could happen.

    Wanderlei is getting a TKO or the Decision after a war.

    Bader is going to retire Tito finally.

    Dong Kim will hug Condit for 3 rounds as usual.

    Siver is getting another spinning back kick TKO.



    Conclusion : Card of the year nomination.
