Obviously, some changes to this card have been made lately. Looks like Overeem was pulled from the fight with JDS and now Mir will replace him. No word on who Cain will fight, but I have heard it will be Nelson vs. Mitrione and Bigfoot Silva vs. Velasquez, but we'll wait and see what happens. UFC 146 "DOS SANTOS VS. MIR", 5/26/2012 (PPV/FX) MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas NV1. Featherweight bout: Mike Brown vs. Daniel Pineda 2. Light Heavyweight bout: Kyle Kingsbury vs. Glover Teixeira 3. Lightweight bout: Jacob Volkmann vs. Paul Sass 4. Welterweight bout: Dan Hardy vs. Duane Ludwig 5. Middleweight bout: Jason Miller vs. C.B. Dollaway 6.

Excellent fight, looking forward to it.
I do have to admit that the rest of the card seems kind of lackluster to me, but it's going to be great to see Shane Del Rosario back in action.

Awesome card, there's a decent name fighter in every fight. Hope Dos Santos beats Overeem! Also hoping Hardy and Miller can pull off the wins.

i have a feeling theres gonna be a bump to the co-main... as fun as barboza/dunham should be. wouldnt have a clue as to what it could be though.
look at how far mayhem fell... a loss and hes gone already, eh?

Mayhem better look improved. Hope he legit went to Holland and trained with Siyar Bahadurzada to work on his standup. It was AWFUL last time around.

I wonder if Hardy loses this time, if he'll finally be cut lol I would think so. Can't wait for the main event... I wouldn't like to pick the winner.

JDS all the f'n way!! I'll pick him by first round KO. I don't think it'll be as quick as when he dropped Cain, but you never know. It's possible. JDS is a vicious KO artist and I think he'll add another notch after this one is all said and done.

I was wondering when Glover would get a shot in the UFC. He hasn't exactly ran through a ton of big names, but he's done well in the smaller leagues for awhile. I'm curious to see home him and Miller do in their fights.

Wow Nelson/Bigfoot, Mir/Cain, and JDS/Reem all on the same card! Damn its gonna be an exciting night of fights. I see Nelson/Bigfoot being a war. And for some odd reason I see Mir beating Cain. I really dont know why I just got that feeling. As for the main event I could easily see this being the greatest HW fight in UFC history. Its going to be a standup war and someones going down.

The beauty and curse of MMA.
In the span of a day, a mediocre card goes to one of the best in years potentially, the same way in the span of a week one of the best cards can go to straight sh*t with injuries and other reasons.

Yep, loving this card now. I kind of figured the Cain-Mir fight might make its way onto this card, but the Nelson-Silva one is another potentially excellent bout that I'm looking forward to.

This card is going to be insane - I think JDS Vs 'Reem is a straight "pick 'em". I see Bigfoot beating Nelson; and Cain and Mir could be very interesting... Can't wait.
