Wow - that is an amazing card... I just hope there's no injuries before then(!). I'm probably looking forward to Hendo/Machida most... it's a real pick-'em fight and if Henderson can get past Machida, then we'll surely be getting the Jones/Henderson super-fight (...providing Bones gets past Sonnen, of course ). And it'll be great seeing if Edgar can make history and become only the third 2-weight UFC champion...

Super Bowl weekend has turned into one of the UFC biggest shows of the entire year, every year. It seems that the card is always stacked, and this is no different. Wow.

Insane. I didn't even know they announced Overeem/Bigfoot. Those top four fights could easily headline a card.

Still don't like Hendo/Machida. Henderson deserves a Title shot. Rest of the card is great, and whether I like the timing or not, Henderson and Machida will be ing awesome.

What a terrible opponent for Faber. UFC must really want him to get a win.

Vaughn Lee shot down the Faber fight today. Said it was a rumor and he wasn't approached to fight him, yet

Updated the card with Prelim times and updated the card order.
Kinda interesting how most of the FX prelims are Strikeforce vs. UFC fights.

Hey, it'd be cool to add a poll to the thread, we can gauge how the board feels about who will win the main event.
I can honestly see Frankie giving Jose fits with his wrestling. That's not my pick, just an observation.

I think Edgar can beat Aldo. Thing is, I think Edgar can beat Aldo at 155. Edgar always had the speed advantage over his opponents at 155, I'm not sure if he'll have the advantage at 145. Aldo is just a different kind of animal. Would have loved to see Edgar have another fight at 145 to test the waters at Featherweight before he faced Aldo. That said, I'm picking Jose Aldo. He's been out for a while, but I think he should be able to pick up the victory.

I think Edgar is easily Aldo's stiffest test, but I just think Aldo is a different kind of animal, he's on the GSP/Silva/Jones/Velasquez level in so much as guys that are a class above the other guys from their time and I won't pick against them and expect them to dominate until the next wave comes through (MacDonald, Weidman etc.).

Stacked card. I see Aldo losing the belt in a split decision loss.
