Undercard on this one sucks for me, I'm not interested in anything but Lesnar/Carwin.

Don't often agree with you on here but how can anyone question that this is a great card.

With the main event Dana could have filled the undercard with TUF nobodies & still been looking at monster buyrates.
Instead there is some veryu compelling fights, granted beyond Wandy maybe missing the killer star names but most MMA fans will know that names don't always equal great fight.
Brown vs. Lytle should be a feaking war.
Sotiropoulos vs. Pellegrino is a battle of two quality ground fighters & for me at least has FOTN stamped all over it. Not sure about the winner getting No.1 Status as I'd imagine that should go to Gray myself. However will certainly be pushing the winner up the rankings towards bigger fights.
Bonnar vs. Soszynski 1 was shaping up to be a decent fight & expect nothing less from the rematch.
Then you have Wandy vs. Akiyama, hopefully a return to form for The Axe Murderer.

Then beneath all these Kendall Grove vs. Goran Rejic should be at least entertaining. The debut of Karlos vemola, an undefeated Heavyweight who impressed me with his win over Stav.
Slightly confused over the return of seth Petruzelli though, I could understand it if Kimbo was signed as that rematch would have at least drawn attention.

Maybe.

I just don't see Maynard beating Florian, and when Florian wins, I don't think he'll get the title shot because he has failed twice in a title shot already.

Kenny will, dana spoke about kenny florian after george won in sydney in the PC saying if he does the Kenny thing who is keeping his head down improving and getting the wins then he will get another title shot.

I really like florian but i think for his own morale he would rather fight the current champ than BJ

I was pretty surprised to see neither fighter pull any punches during their interview at TUF11 Finale. I guess someone gave Brock a Miller before the interview.

While it's not my basis of logic, I can't help but wonder if training will have a huge effect on this. Now, what I mean by this is that Brock has been training for Carwin since last year. Carwin on the other hand, trained for Brock, then started training for Mir, and is back to training for Brock.

Once again, I'm not super knowledgable about the training one goes through for a MMA fight, but I can't help but wonder if that gives Brock any kind of advantage.

I meant Coors, but I'm a Miller man myself so opps.

And i'm only 15 lol.

Pro-wrestlers have been in MMA long before Lesnar, bud.
