Watching the Fuel TV weigh-in show. I absolutely LOVE all of the UFC coverage now available via Fuel. Can't wait for tomorrow night's card. The UFC is on one hell of a streak right now.

two guys who mightve been one win away from a title shot, now one is gonna be on a 2 fight losing streak. crazy... love mel, rooting for him, but i think jim miller is a better fighter. he ran into a buzzsaw in benson, but aside from benson and frankie, i think jim miller is still the best fighter at 55 (though nate might have an argument there).
looking forward to seeing mike easton again too. he started slow last time, but he did eventually finish the fight... rivera and barry are two of my guys too.

UFC Newcomer Pat Schilling: "I Think It's Going to End Abruptly for One of Us"Pat Schilling may not be a name that you’re familiar with yet, but this UFC newcomer is planning to make a statement in his debut for the promotion on Friday’s inaugural UFC on FX fight card from Nashville, Tenn. The 23-year-old Minnesotan was the beneficiary of some untimely injuries to other fighters and will be fighting Daniel Pineda on the preliminary fight card on Fuel TV. For Schilling, the opportunity is something he has been working toward for some time, but the news came rather unexpectedly this past week. “It was crazy,” the full-time Best Buy supervisor told BleacherReport.com. “I’m at work and I got a call from my manager, which I couldn’t take at the time because I was on the sales floor. Then he sent me a text that said ‘Urgent!’ so I stepped off the floor and gave him a call back. When he said, ‘You’re going to be fighting for the UFC,’ it kind of leveled me. I wasn’t expecting that at all.” Schilling and his manager had spoken to the UFC just days prior, but were instructed he still needed to get a couple more, higher-profile fights under his belt before he would get a chance in the UFC. However, the string of injuries to other fighters led to Schilling landing on the top of the alternates pile. Continue reading my interview with Pat Schilling

Yeah im pulling for Miller in this one and I'd say He's 4th in the division. Nate just looked so good in his last fight with Cerrone. If he wins tomorrow night decisively I wouldn't mind seeing him and Nate go at it for the number one contender spot. My Picks: 1. Bantamweight bout: Joseph Sandoval vs. Nick Denis 2. Featherwight bout: Daniel Pineda vs. Pat Schilling3. Lightweight bout: Fabrício Camões vs. Tommy Hayden4. Welterweight bout: Charlie Brenneman vs. Daniel Roberts 5. Lightweight bout: Kamal Shalorus vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov 6. Middleweight bout: Jorge Rivera vs. Eric Schafer 7. Heavyweight bout: Pat Barry vs. Christian Morecraft 8.

Jon Anik.
All of the "B" shows will be done by Florian and Anik, which is cool because I actually like Anik from ESPN's MMA Live show. Not too sure about Florian, but it's good to have a fighters insight.
Just got off work now. Can't wait to watch the event later. I'm pulling for Miller, but something has me thinking that Melvin will get the KO early.

the last ppv kflo did... i forget which one, it was one of the overseas ones though, he was pretty solid. he started slow, but he definitely grew on me... and he didnt quite have the bias that rogan has (not that i mind that in the first place). and like you said, its a fighters perspective... and not a frank shamrock perspective, because i more or less despise him.

Oh I can't stand Frank Shamrock. I like Pat Miletich though.
