That's actually kind of interesting. Pretty cool though, I will admit.

On paper this card is amazing. The 7 fight main card and 4 hour broadcast just makes it feel that much bigger.

I'm a little surprised to see Okami so far down on the card. Looks like a good card though.

Looks like a great card. I know I'll be watching, no question about that. And I think Benson Henderson will pull it out and come out as the new UFC Lightweight champ. I know Edgar is damn tough and everything and you shouldn't bet against him, I just feel Benson will be the one to put Edgar away and walk away with the belt.

At this point, I'm convinced you could hit Edgar with a truck in the first round, and he'll still show up for the next 4 rounds.

Agreed Sean, you need to finish him in the round you get him rocked otherwise the following rounds he is just gonna come out seeming fresh, and that must be a mind for his opponent.

Frankie Edgar(c) Vs Benson Henderson - Unanimous Decision
Rampage Jackson Vs Ryan Bader - First Round KO
Mark Hunt Vs Cheick Kongo - First Round TKO
Yoshihiro Akiyama Vs Jake Shields - Second Round Submission
Yushin Okami Vs Tim Boetsch - Unanimous Decision
Hatsu Hioki Vs Bart Palaszewski - Split Decision
Anthony Pettis Vs Joe Lauzon - Second Round TKO
Card is stacked! Really can't wait for Edgar and Henderson to throw down. Could be a FOTY candidate.

Yeah... I can't wait for this show - it's stacked top to bottom:
Frankie Edgar vs. Ben Henderson Ryan Bader vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson Cheick Kongo vs. Mark Hunt Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Jake Shields Tim Boetsch vs. Yushin Okami Hatsu Hioki vs. Bart Palaszewski Joe Lauzon vs. Anthony Pettis
I have ZERO faith in most of these picks... they're all such great match-ups. I'd love to see wins for Hunt, Lauzon, and Akiyama though - especially Sexyama as it will probably be his last fight (in the UFC) if he doesn't win. I'm completely torn on Edgar/Henderson - both these guy are great fighters and class-acts.
Not long to go now... ;D

Rampage weighed in 6 pounds over (211 lbs) and will give up 20% of his fight purse to Ryan Bader. It is now known that he is injured, though the specific nature of the injury is still a mystery to my knowledge.

Rampage claims that his injury is all healed up by now. He also said he won't go into detail about it because he doesn't want Bader to go for it.

Love Rampage, but I believe its always unacceptable for missing weight. However, it is his first time, so I will assume an injury was the issue.
