Been looking forward to this event for a while now. This event is stacked! Two title fights and the return of big mouth Chael? Oh hell yes!
Frank Edgar (c) Vs Gray Maynard - Unanimous Decision
Jose Aldo (c) Vs Kenny Florian - Second Round Submission
Chael Sonnen Vs Brain Stann - Unanimous Decision
Melvin Guillard Vs Joe Lauzon - First Round KO
Leonard Garcia Vs Nam Phan - First Round TKO
Not sure what to make of the two title fights. Especially Edgar Vs Maynard. Only way I see Edgar winning this is by dominant decision. Another viable option is maybe by late sub. Perhaps he exhausts Maynard throughout the fight and gets a late Stoppage in the fourth, but I really don't see that happening. But Maynard has a better chance of finishing Frank than the other way around. Pulling for Edgar in this but I wouldn't be surprised if Gray finishes this fight by the second round.
Aldo takes Florian in mostly every facet of the game. I don't think this is going to end well for Kenny. I'd love to see him finally win the big one, but I see Aldo just being too much for him like BJ was. Kenny's best chance is to weather the storm, go for take downs, not get leg kicked to death and beat Aldo in the later rounds. I do see Kenny getting it to the ground but that's where I see Aldo's BJJ being the key factor to his win.
Chael vs Stann is going either one of three ways: Chael by his usual grinding decision or Stann by early KO or eventual submission. If Stann wants to win this he needs to finish Chael early. Or, if he is as smart as I think he is, he has been practicing his Triangles and watching film of Chael getting subbed by it left, right, and center.

This seriously might be the most stacked fight of the year when it comes to entertaining bouts. Not one fight is a snoozer.

It is so hard for me to root against Chale or Stann... I just have no idea. James... What happens after this fight with these two? Is this a number one contenders fight? |

Well it's tough. If Henderson beats Shogun, Henderson would get a shot at Anderson as well. Henderson would make a great argument if he wins in November, but if Chael wins, I can see UFC giving it to him just due to how Chael will market the fight. It will draw huge numbers.

Problem I have with Henderson is that fight is at 205. If Anderson wants to fight him at 205 fine. However, I feel if Hendo wants a fight with Anderson at 185 he needs to fight the winner of this fight.. BUT Where does the winner of Miller/Bisping fall? |

UFC wanted Henderson to face Silva on Fox, but Silva was hurt and couldn't fight. It would be a big fight for Henderson, and with Rashad booked as the next guy (after Lyoto, I guess), it would give Henderson a fight without having to wait at 205. I think it's a good idea. Bisping may very well be the first UFC fighter to get a title shot without any top-10 wins. It's amazing the praise he gets, yet he can't seem to beat any top-10 guy. |

I hope not, I think he can.. I think Miller could wind up beating him though by sub. I think The UFC protects Bisping. Its like "everytime we give him a top ten fight. He gets  ing beat." So I doubt he gets the winner of Stann and Chale. |

If Bisping wins he should fight the winner of Maia/Santiago or even Belfort (if he's willing to wait).
