Should be some great fights tonight for sure. I'll probably be going to Boston Pizza again to watch it. If either the Silva/Maia or Penn/Edgar fights go past the 2nd round, I'll be EXTREMELY surprised.
I'm sure both Silva & Penn are more than able to end them in the 1st if they REALLY wanted to.

John Gunderson vs Paul Taylor has been cancelled. Taylor hasn't been cleared to fight after the weight cut.
A planned bout between Paul Taylor (10-5-1 MMA, 3-4 UFC) and John Gunderson (22-7 MMA, 0-1 UFC slated for today's UFC 112 preliminary-card has been scratched due to medical issues.
Trainer Shawn Tompkins, who planned to corner Gunderson, posted on Facebook that they learned – while on the bus to the night's host site at Concert Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – that Taylor has been scratched from the card.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) subsequently confirmed the change with an event official, and the UFC has since made the announcement official.
UFC 112, which begins at 10 a.m. ET for the preliminary card (and 1 p.m. PT for the pay-per-view main card), now features10 bouts since the UFC had such little time to find a replacement.
Tompkins said an issue with Taylor's weight cut left him "not medically cleared" to fight. The UFC's official announcement was similarly vague, citing only "last-minute medical issues."
Taylor, who previously competed at welterweight, planned to fight at lightweight for the first time at UFC 112.
With no regulatory body in the UFC's new host site, the decision to pull Taylor ultimately was on Marc Ratner, the UFC's Vice President of Regulatory Affairs who formerly headed the Nevada State Athletic Commission. The executive overseas all regulatory aspects of UFC shows when no athletic commission is present.
Taylor most recently dropped a unanimous decision to John Hathaway at UFC 105 in November. And with four losses in six fights, he would have been in a must-win situation.
Gunderson, a IFL and Palace Fighting Championships veteran, made his UFC debut in January after a 5-1 run (with four submission victories) in a variety of promotions. Gunderson, though, suffered a decision loss to Rafaello Oliveira in a UFC 108 preliminary-card bout.

Are we allowed to talk about this now? It's on in America but there's 2 showings so I don't know if all discussion is meant to be saved for then.
All I know is it's great to have UFC on live and not at 3am in the morning heh

My mum/step-dad are still here, and he disapproves of me watching it. They're off out then, so hopefully I haven't missed Etim/dos Anjos by then. I only really wanna see that and the two title fights.

Just woke up, completely forgot about the show being early. ! Got to see the last round of Hughes/Renzo. Hughes really scored with those leg kicks and punches, against a certain level of opponent he's still HUGELY dangerous. So ing pumped for the two next title fights. Also, the atmosphere at the venue is just amazing.
