Well, the rematch is almost here. Next week marks the second fight between Flyweights Demetrious Johnson and Ian McCall. The first fight was ing amazing, but ended in controversy, consisting of a scoring error that resulted in a majority draw between the fighters being announced as a victory for Johnson. Now, 3 months later, the rematch is here and is the main event on FX. First UFC card headlined by Flyweights AND the first UFC card in Florida since 2007. I myself cannot wait for this one. UFC on FX "JOHNSON VS. MCCALL II", 6/8/2012 (FX/Fuel TV/Facebook.com Stream/ESPN-UK/Sportsnet) BankAtlantic Center, Fort Lauderdale FL1. Welterweight bout: Jake Hecht vs. Sean Pierson 2.

Other then the Main Event the only other fight that excites me is Jorgensen/Wineland because Jorgensen always has entertaining fights and Wineland is a tough opponent. But here are my picks:
UFC on FX "JOHNSON VS. MCCALL II", 6/8/2012 (FX/Fuel TV) BankAtlantic Center, Fort Lauderdale FL
1. Welterweight bout: Jake Hecht vs. Sean Pierson 2. Lightweight bout: Bernardo Magalhães vs. Henry Martinez 3. Light Heavyweight bout: Buddy Roberts vs. Caio Magalhães 4. Lightweight bout: Tim Means vs. Justin Salas 5. Bantamweight bout: Dustin Pague vs. Jared Papazian 6. Featherweight bout: Leonard Garcia vs. Matt Grice 7. Welterweight bout: Seth Baczynski vs. Lance Benoist 8. Welterweight bout: Mike Pierce vs. Carlos Eduardo Rocha 9. Bantamweight bout: Eddie Wineland vs. Scott Jorgensen 10. Welterweight bout: Josh Neer vs. Mike Pyle 11. Welterweight bout: Charlie Brenneman vs. Erick Silva 12. Flyweight Tournament Semi-Final: Demetrious Johnson vs. Ian McCall
Really hoping Uncle Creepy pulls it out because ive been a huge fan of his since his WEC run and I thought he won the first fight.

Neer vs. Pyle is gonna be a good one. Neer has been looking extremely solid lately since he's been training with the Caesar Gracie team.

erick silva is a BEEEAST. and mike pierce has become one of my guys... i had him winning his last two losses, that to hendricks and koscheck. so, hes grown on me a bit.
the main event was awesome last time around with only 3 rounds... i had it 29-28 mighty mouse... it should be even better 5 rounds.

I'm taking McCall. I think he won the first fight, I think he'll take this one as well.

The main event won't be 5 rounds. It's gonna be the same standard 3 rounds with the 4th round in case of a draw.

I would have thought with the controversy last time - and it being a main-event, it would be 5 rounds...(?) It's a pretty good card though... I'm looking forward to the rematch (didn't realize it was so soon!).

5:00, very good, i can catch a short nap before it all kicks off. this is a nice card for a free one... probably better than 147.

This is my second Friday off in a row. I'm loving the UFC on Fridays for some reason. The next events will be both on Friday AND Saturday.

slept through the two facebook fights, so hopefully they get replayed. i needed the extra time to last through to the main event. last time i did it, it worked out and they both got replayed... so heres to it again.

10-9 roberts, looked better standing and stuffed all of magalhaes' takedowns. he got taken down once, but was back up in a second.

30-27 roberts... better striker. magalhaes finally got the takedown, but did nothing with it, roberts was up quick. unenthralling overall.
