the card was great before Injuries took its toll (as always) But its still very solid. I hate to see that Boetsch is fighting costas, mainly because I think he makes a good case for being the #1 contender and I dont see this fight taking him any further up the ladder, costas has alot of Power as well so its a risk. Varner subbing Melvins gonna be Hillarious Maynard vs Lauzon was the original reason I wanted to order, but I wont complain over the potentialy great grappling match that could come against miller. Okami and belcher will take FOTN And I see JDS winning by anything but a dec.

cariaso/moraga and wineland/pickett are both gonna be awesome on the undercard.

From the looks of it, outside of the Main Event, I might actually enjoy the Prelims more than main card.

I feel like Lombard won that fight. I also feel if Bisping gets by Vitor he should have to fight either Weidman/Belcher/Lombard. Any one of the three names is fine honestly. Belcher would have to beat Okami first though. So, probably Weidman or Lombard depending upon who is ready first. I don't think having your first top ten win against Stann and a win over Vitor should make him number one contender.

I REALLY don't believe Bisping is going to get passed Vitor. Especially in Brazil.

I wonder if Guilard/Varner is going to be a prelim or on the main card.

I'm sure it will be on the FX card.

I as well if I were a judge would have given the nudge to Lombard. But on Paper its a win for Boetsch so thats all we got to go by.
Even though id love to see Bisping vs Anderson, I see vitor subbing Bisping early on.
Also I would book weidman vs Boetsch if he wins, or the Okami/belcher winner. Lombard vs Le would be nice 2.

I'd like to see Cung Le vs. Belcher if he wins. I think if Bisping loses (which I honestly think he will), Lombard vs. Bisping will be the way to go.

I REALLY don't believe Bisping is going to get passed Vitor. Especially in Brazil. I don't see it, either. The only way I can imagine Bisping getting a win is if he stays on his bike or somehow gets Vitor down. Even then, Vitor will chase you, or possibly submit you. I've got a Belfort KO.

Strikeforce vet Derek Brunson will replace Karlos Vemola due to injury.

Strikeforce vet Derek Brunson will replace Karlos Vemola due to injury. He just got KO'ed by Jacare on short notice... ...And he takes a fight with Leben on short? Maybe he's trying to be dependable, to me, he's looking to get KO'ed. Hey, more power to him for taking it. If I was him, I'd be thinking "I just got knocked out on short notice, and they need someone to fight Leben? Man, I don't know if this is good for me right now."

Well Leben has been gone for a long time. Who knows if that will play a part. It's been over a year.

And on top of that, Jacare is a top fighter man. That was a total mismatch from the beginning.

I REALLY don't believe Bisping is going to get passed Vitor. Especially in Brazil. Me neither. It's a ridiculous fight for Bisping to take, imo - he's kind of in a no-win situation... a LOT to lose and not much to gain: even if he wins, people will say he still needs to fight a guy like Weidman or Belcher (or even Lombard) before a title-shot. Vitor's only been beaten by the very best in the game lately though and it's a tough ask keeping out the way of his rushes/punches for 5 rounds...
