Big fan favorite Clay Guida. Look at all that energy at the weigh ins.

biggest heavyweight fight since Fedor vs Crocop. HYPE!!!!!!!!

cain needs to study some vintage Eddie Guerero promos so he can learn how to work a crowd. guy's borderline an anti-personality.

What is with that dumbass Guida wearing 7,000 things to take off before the weigh-in?

Just caught the weigh-ins. I think a lot of people are going to be surprised by this undercard. Sure it lacks star power but there's some really great match ups here. Expect some fireworks.

Had no idea Rosa went to 205. Looks like a completely different person.

I was thinking Cain at 249 was pretty heavy for him, but it's only 5 pounds more than he was for the Brock fight, which isn't much of a fluctuation for HW.

Probably clutching at straws here, but anyone have any idea if this is being televised live in Taiwan?

Setanta Ireland (the free one) is showing the televised event, not Setanta Sports 1. Does that help?

Any time a card is dominated by lighter weight classes I'm happy. Should be plenty of fireworks indeed.

Also realized that Cub Swanson and Mackens Semerzier are on this card. They're not fighting each other again sadly, but their fight at wec 52 was absolutely awesome. Hope to see good things from those two again.

I think it's going to be free on Premier Sports, that's assuming you have Sky. Not sure why it's not on ESPN though.

wonder if anik asks conduit how he feels about losing his title shot and having to fight kos.

Speaking of anik, what happened to ESPN's MMA Live? Is it still around? I only catch it on Xbox, and the last one posted was the Bones Rampage fight, which feels like it was ages ago. Is the show dead because they can't find a replacement for Jon, or is the Xbox version behind on updates?

Karyn Bryant has a pretty good interview with Conduit asking that very question. She doesn't let him off easy with the follow up questions.

Some eyebrows were raised when Cain Velasquez weighed in at 249 pounds, and he did look a little softer then usual at that weight, because he usually fights between 235 and 244. Ariel Helwani asked Dana White a couple of days ago about a rumor of Velasquez being injured and White kind of acknowledged something happened but that he was fine now. I guess we'll see in a few hours.

Much ado about nothing. When has Cain not looked a little soft? For all we know his weight is by design.

Dammit heel916, will you let me tell the angle of Cain being very badly injured, unable to train, and shouldn't be fighting at all and is only going through with it because it's on Fox?

I bet on Cain. Anyone know what time the actual fight is gunna start.. obviously a 1hour show isnt going to open with the main event. Want to get wings to eat during the fight, don't wanna gobble em all up before a punch is thrown.

Ahhem...wow, what heart and tenacity from the young latino warrior. Will Cain escape the jaws of defeat with his back against the wall?! Only through the power of Brown Pride will he be able to overcome these insurmountable odds. His clear edge in cardio is slipping, and the ring rust cannot be escaped. These signs of weakness have surely emboldened his enemy with a new found confidence.

The stage is set for the greatest heavyweight fight in mixed martial arts history. Are you ready?

It's been brought to my attention that Cain has an uncanny resemblance to boxing legend Jack Dempsey.

Why aren't the prelims starting? It's supposed to be 4:45 right?

EDIT: The UFC facebook page says the walkouts started already. :mad:
