1. I don't want to see one of my favorite fighters be made to look like an amature by Silva. 2. No I didn't expect that type of caliber of a fight, I suppose I just expected something a little more than Phil Davis Vs Rashad Evans, theres nothing there to make me care about that fight. Michael Bisping Vs Mayhem Miller had more appeal to me than this. They are meant to be doing 4 events on fox a year, unless I'm hearing false information, I just expected something a little more high profiled the way Dana has been talking.
Anyhoo I hope Phil Davis beats Rashad for a title shot, otherwise someones just going to duck the fight again if Rashad wins. Honestly I don't what I'd want for Fox, I don't expect them to give us a title fight each time, I just expect them make more of an effort, especially in the early going off all this.

I actually think Hendo will just get the shot if Phil Davis wins. Really pulling for Rashad though. Dude has the worst luck. I want to see him vs Jones happen. But I'd also be interested in the Machida rematch.

Didn't Dana say he would get a shot at whatever weight class was open the soonest? I'm sure Hendo doesn't mind, he's capable in HW, LHW and MW.

Love the card and hope this is the kind of cards we will see on the UFC on FOX cards with top contenders fighting for either shots or to get in the running for shots. It is a great way to build up a contender as more people will see their fight for free on a big network and then people might be more likely to buy the ppv when they challenge for the title later.

Chris Weidman is stepping in to fight Maia. What an opportunity this is for him.

Whilst I'm British, I'm rooting for my man Chael Sonnen, plus if Bisping some how beat Sonnen, Anderson would kill Bisping in a round 1 KO.

I love both these guys, but REALLY want to see Silva Vs Sonnen 2, so I'll be rooting for Sonnen. And I think he's the better fighter - style-wise, you have to favor Sonnen in this fight - I don't think Bisping has the power to keep him off or will be able to avoid the takedowns. It's kind of a shame that they haven't had time to build the fight up though - with these two, the hype and banter etc. would have been great(!).

Agreed, I would of loved some trash talk between these two, but sadly it's not going to happen as much as I would of cared for, perhaps in the future? But looking at the fight. Chael is easily the best wrestler in the MW division, he's given everyone a problem with his wrestling. If Bisping couldn't stuff Mayhem's takedown, he ain't going to stuff Chael's. I see it going to decision with Chael winning, the only way Bisping can win is by taking advantage of Sonnen's poor submission defense.

Updated the card on the first page. Sucks I don't get Fuel TV, as they're broadcasting the full preliminary card.

Sucks that Munoz got injured, but I think Sonnen/Bisping will be more exciting anyway. Might not last as long as Munoz/Sonnen would have, but you never know. Any fight can end suddenly, you just never know.
I'm rooting for Sonnen in this one. Hope he either drops or subs Bisping in short order and moves on and re-matches Silva.
However, if Bisping wins this one, you'd better get your stopwatches out because when he goes on to face Silva, we might just have a new UFC record on our hands.

Sonnen vs Bisping has made this card alot more appealing to me. That being said I realized it falls of my Birthday so I'll probably have to catch this event at a later date.
