this is an easy buy for me, 4 of my top guys at the top of the card. lawrence/holloway has potential, as does tavares/hallman as long as hallman isnt wearing speedos.
actually i dont see hallman/tavares on your card... did one of them get hurt and pull out?

Dont see the main event going any different then last time honestly. I think it'll be almost a mirror image but with a more dominant Henderson.

Last fight was a very good battle, though. I enjoyed the hell out of it. Even though it was very competitive, I feel Henderson was the clear winner.

It was definately a great fight and I thought Henderson was the clear winner aswell. I was baffled when Edgar and many others thought he had a case for winning.

Just watched it. Before I get into whom I scored the fight in favor of, I would like to say this. Joe Rogan reminds me of one of those drunk guys at Buffalo Wild Wings that screams after something big happens. Maybe he is enthuisastic maybe he is a douche? I don't know. I like Bendo but the way he smiles and struts about after the fight rubbed me the wrong way. Could be worse though. Now... I had rounds 1 and 2 for Frankie. I had 3 and 4 for Benson.. 5 is a harder round to score for me personally. How did you guys have it?

Edgar. I personally felt Edgar won the first fight and I believe he'll win this fight.

Love both guys, but I'm more of a hardcore fan of Edgar and still felt Bendo won the fight without any controversy. That up-kick Bendo landed on Frankie, man that was nasty.

Frankie's proven how good he is in immediate rematches (with Penn and Maynard, both of which he won convincingly) - I wouldn't be surprised to see him pull out a win here. Having said that though, I do favor Bendo.

it is so hard to count Edgar out because as was said he ALWAYS performs better in a rematch....
he beat the crap out of BJ in their rematch...
and IMO beat Maynard in their second fight and KO'd him in the third fight...
...but, I feel Henderson is a bigger and better version of Edgar. I think Henderson stops Edgar this time...Frankie has been taking way too much damage lately and I think Henderson will finish in the 2nd.

I think Henderson stops Edgar this time... Frankie has been taking way too much damage lately and I think Henderson will finish in the 2nd. Thats a good point actually. I mean his last 3 or 4 fights have been wars and he took quite a bit of damage from Bendo and Maynard.

I think by far, my favorite thing about the UFC being with Fox now is every PPV has Prelims on FX. I remember when it was a big deal for Prelims to be showed on Spike, because it was every once and a while.

Prelims on Spike were often enough. But I am glad that all of the PPVs now have prelims on FX and Facebook. I remember the days when we couldn't even see all the fights, let alone for free.
