Posted on July 19, 2012, 03:20 PM by Anton GurevichUFC 149 fight card participants gathered at Flames Central in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, to discuss this Saturday's event. The event is headlined by the Interim UFC Bantamweight title fight between Urijah Faber and Renan Barao, while Hector Lombard and Tim Boetsch battle it out in the co-main event. Also on the card, Octagon veteran Cheick Kongo takes on the up-and-coming heavyweight star Shawn Jordan.

According to UFC officials, the demand for tickets is still high, despite the injury plague that caused no less than 10 changes to UFC 149 line-up.

115 would literally be midgets. A cruiserweight division would be good, but the heavyweight division is only just starting to look deep, no need to thin it out
I cant belive Faber was wearing a shirt to the presser
Not a fan of the 115 idea, cruiser weight should be made first. FLW was just made and has roughly ten guys in it, think how shallow 115 would be.
Before I see 115 I would like to think female BW should get in first. Dana critiques the female divisions but female BW probably has a better top 10 and definitely top 5 than male FLW.
Good morning Dana White...you almost blew my speakers
FACEPOLM
ha!
My question is for Hey-nan

Barao ftw for the win. I say 2nd round tko rocks him then finishs via ground and pound
Barao seems noticeably bigger than Faber. I think Faber will win if he gats to round 3 otherwise I feel Barao will win. If Faber pulls this off convincingly He will be champ and If Barao does convincingly he will be champ. If it is a hard fought battle by split decision then Domick may be able to keep his belt.
three freakin commercial videos on almost every lowkick page??? three times the SAME video that start at the same time? some of which you can't even stop? really? wtf? c'mon guys!
