Watching the Countdown right now.

$100 says Rampage / Hamill fight ends in decision.

EDIT: Nelson reminds me of John Kruk

That's all but assured. That fight is going to be absolutely atrocious.

5 out of his last 6 fights have ended in decision and he hasn't had a KO since 2008. And for what its worth Hamill has never been KOed. So I don't see it happening. Not saying it wont since anything is possible but I just can't imagine any other outcome other than decision.

FUN FACT: Starting this weekend, there will be 7 consecutive weekends with a Zuffa MMA event happening on them.

My body is ready.

Thiago Alves vs. Rick Story is going to be the highlight of my night with this one. Consequently I'll probably catch this at a tavern or someplace like that rather than drop $45 on it. Was really looking forward to this until Edgar and Maynard dropped out - though I do find it unfortunate when one of the MMA mags feature these guys on the cover this month for a fight that isn't happening.

Whether Alves or Story wins, it's going to be a good match.
 
Hamill
Mir
Browne
Story
Santiago
Mighty Mouse
Grove
Tibau
McDonald
Barao

This will be one of the most entertaining cards of the year.

shitty in that you have to pay 50 dollars for a bunch of mid card fighters. sucky thing is that zuffa never lowers the price of the ppv when they lose all the big name fighters.

Why should the price be lowered? Unlike you I pay for ppv's to see fights, not names. I haven't missed a ppv since UFC 40 and I know not to put trust into names.

Real fans know cards that look shitty on paper have the potential to be amazing and cards that looks great on paper have potential to be uninteresting and sometimes boring.

Yeah, UFC 117 was the rare card that was super stacked on paper and also epic from beginning to end.

I'm rooting for Stann but I know Santiago has a big shot at the upset. Could possibly be a first round TKO. I acutally think it is a big test to see just how good Stann is.

Santiago's chin is not good. And having said that, Stann just came off TKO'ing one of the best chins in MMA. Don't get me wrong, I think Santiago is more well-rounded than Stann, but if Stann lands its lights out.

Frank Mir says a lot of things.

Some people have short memories and/or are new to the sport.

i don't want to play 'that' card, but i've been watching mma for six years (go back to old threads, mostly pride/dream). it was more of a jab at the fact that i hate him more than anything.

Same day as my birthday! So I probably won't pay too much attention to the fights as I'll probably be a little messed up lol

And my birthday is today, which in turn basically turns it into a whole weekend of birthday stuff.

Doubt I'll be messed up :), but will be fun nonetheless. Happy Bday!

it's 4th of July in my asshole
If there any other Aus Gaf people watching there's a couple of free pre-lims on One HD at 10am EST.

The Ultimate Fighter season three winner Kendall Grove faces Tim Boetsch in a middleweight prelim fight ahead of UFC 130. Then Miguel Torres in the much awaited bout against Demetrious Johnson.

First 3 fights on FB still 9am start I think.
