Good to see the UFC is trying to give Cruz & the division the spotlight on a free to air card.
Great way to further establish the division & looks like the winner faces the winner of Faber/ Bowles.

Thanks James, I totally forgot about it, I've not seen any promotion on youtube from the UFC, odd.

^ yeah, it seems to have been over-shadowed, being sandwiched between two big PPV shows. Should be a good fight though... I'm going with Cruz by UD and Barry by TKO.

For some reason, there isn't much talk about this event. Cruz just had an amazing fight with Faber, so you would think more attention would be on this card, especially seeing how it's for the title. But, it is in between two huge cards, so I guess you can pick that up as a reason. I still can't wait to see it.

Barry vs. Struve will be fun, and I predict Cruz annihilating Johnson. Really hyped for Danzig/Wiman rematch too.

Dominick Cruz(c) Vs Demetrious Johnson - Unanimous Decision
Pat Barry Vs Stefan Struve - First Round KO
Anthony Johnson Vs Charlie Brenneman - Unanimous Decision
Matt Wiman Vs Mac Danzig - Split Decision
Yves Edwards Vs Rafaello Oliveira - Second Round TKO
Cruz and Johnson are going to put on a technical clinic Saturday night, but I see Cruz being too much for him. Hopefully Dominick gets a finish, but the safe bet is a UD.
For the love of God, I hope Stefan Struve has improved his striking defense for this fight. I love the guy but I don't want to see him brutally finished again. He should try and get this to the ground early, if not Barry will most likely take his head off.
