Main Card - Mauricio Rua vs. Chael Sonnen (Light Heavyweight) Alistair Overeem vs. Travis Browne (Heavyweight) Urijah Faber vs. Yuri Alcantara (Bantamweight) Matt Brown vs. Mike Pyle (Welterweight) Uriah Hall vs. John Howard (Middleweight) Joe Lauzon vs. Michael Johnson (Lightweight) Preliminary Card - Brad Pickett vs. Michael McDonald (Bantamweight) Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway (Featherweight) Mike Brown vs. Steven Siler (Featherweight) Diego Brandao vs. Daniel Pineda (Featherweight) Preliminary Card (Facebook) - Manvel Gamburyan vs. Cole Miller (Featherweight) Cody Donovan vs. Ovince St. Preux (Light Heavyweight) Ramsey Nijem vs. James Vick (Lightweight) Can't believe no one is talking about this - it's a great card and the top two fights are real "pick 'ems". I slightly favor Shogun though... Freddie Roach says he's punching harder than ever - and there's more on the line for him... I think he might be able to catch/overwhelm Sonnen early. It should be interesting to see how Overeem looks... if he fights anything like last time, Browne could beat him. Discuss!  |

Mauricio Rua vs. Chael Sonnen - Decision Alistair Overeem vs. Travis Browne - 2nd Round KO Urijah Faber vs. Yuri Alcantara - Decision Matt Brown vs. Mike Pyle - 2nd Round TKO Uriah Hall vs. John Howard - 1st Round KO Joe Lauzon vs. Michael Johnson - 2nd Round Submission Preliminary Card - Brad Pickett vs. Michael McDonald - Decison Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway - 2nd Round TKO There are my picks for the fights I'm most interested, anyone think I'm totally off with these? If Rua Vs Sonnen goes past the 2nd round I don't see how Sonnen loses, he'd win by Decision or submission late rounds. I'm not sold on Overeem, he beat a shell of Brock Lesnar and whooped by Bigfoot, I'm high on Browne however. I don't know enough about Yuri to make a judgement call, but the smart money is Faber the majority of the time. Brown vs Pyle was a hard pick for me, if it doesn't go to decision I just see Brown running through Pyle. Maybe I'm still sold on Urijah Hall from TUF, but if he can do to Howard what he did in the house, it should be fun. Lauzon is an animal and one of my favorite fighters, if he doesn't win, he'll still get Fight of the Night. After McDonald's last performance I'm PUMPED for this fight, so young but so talented. Conor's got a lot of hype around him and I may be fooled by it, but hey it's nice to be a part of something if it goes right. This card is  ing amazing! Discuss! |

Great fight from Pickett & McDonald. Pickett is one tough dude, but it's was McDonald's night. Great sub.

Close fight, but I think Howard won it. We will see...
*Edit* Yep, just as I thought. It was close, but he won that fight.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OMG Overeem has some of the worst fight IQ.
He dominated that fight and even threw an illegal knee!
He SHOULD of won, and he SHOULD of won against Bigfoot.

Wow....Overeem nearly had him, but blew his wad. I think he gassed out from the onslaught he was layin' on Browne. Browne hung in there and delivered a vicious front-kick KO. Incredible win for Travis Browne.
