It's not a bad card, especially for free.
Both Anderson & Vera's fights in a new weight class for them are interesting although I don't see either man having too many problems
Franca vs. Edgar is a sick match up, yet another great LW match, i just wish these fights would heading towards something & establishing the top guys in the division
Not happy to O'brien back, hopefully he gets KTFO, surely we don't need him laying & praying again
Anothony Johnson has looked impressive recently so pleased he's fighting again.

Nice card, but Im watching affliction Banned instead. Ill record this. We have no choice in the uK, as nowhere is showing Alliction here, not even on PPV. Kinda strange realy, we have cage Rage & more importantly the uFC making regular trips to britain. Obviously there is an mMA market here, you'd have thought a PPV of some of the best Heavyweights would be here somewhere??? |

i dont kno why...but I think we could end up seeing Irivin shock the world on the 19th I want Anderson to win..but idk why I have envisoned a James Irvin knockout Irvin is a sol9id puncher, a genuine KO puncher & he is a natural at thie weight. Anderson at the increased weight might find his shots don't have the same effect. He might find his clinch being broken far easier than the 185ers he is used to facing. The increased weight COULD screw up his cardio or speed. This for me is why it is such an interesting fight. Yeah Irvin might not be considered top of the food chain but he's still a very dangerous fighter to be fighting in your first step up in weight. |

I'll be paying close attention to both this card and Affliction's card.
Irvin winning would throw Anderson's gameplan of being a double champion in serious jeopardy, IMO. I really consider this a "make or break" fight for my #1 guy.
If he loses decisively, he'll still be one of the most dominant middleweights of all time but he'll have a long way to go to take the LHW strap. If it goes to a decision and he loses, he may be able to save face.
If he wins by sub or TKO like I truly feel he will, then he's one step closer to cementing his legacy as one of the greatest of all time. I've got 1,000% confidence in Silva and really think that this will be his night.

For all the new fans of the UFC this Satuday there will be 5 hours of UFC leading up to Silva vs. Irvin, so this is a perfect time to get into the sport. Three eposides of UFC Unleashed, UFC Countdown '' Silva vs. Irvin '' and Ultimate Knockouts Five.

I'll watch Banned, but I'll record this. I think Silva will crush him, but anything can happen.

I think it'll be a great card. I'm picking "The Sandman" for the upset. I also wonder if UFC or Dana White will mention anything about Rampage Jackson during the show. I hope so, because it needs to be addressed. We'll have to wait and see though.

I agree, i would like them to say something on the Rampage situation on air as well.

I was a little shocked watching the countdown to Fight Night when they started talkiing about C.B. and Jesse both fighting on the card and I glad to see that they will be fighting each other. I hope Jesse wins as I really don't like C.B., also glad to see Tim and Cale getting another chance to fight each other.

I'm a bit surprised to see Jesse Taylor fight this quick. I'm still convinced that the reason Dana came down so hard is because they knew he'd make it a boring final, whilst a rematch of Amir & CB would be a solid fight. As for the Rampage situation I don't think it will be mentioned myself. |
