[scooterbrah]

really only intredasted in
Phil Davis vs. Anthony Johnson
Luke Rockhold vs. Tim Boetsch

hopefully the co-main is exciting and not phil humping rumble for 15 min

[NORCALpump]

Excited as hell for this card. My friend's nephew is fighting on it (Andre Fili)...can't wait for Team Alpha Male to dominate the night.

[teflonwig]

Luke is the biggest favorite on the card

Rightfully so, he should dismantle Boetsch I'd be surprised if it goes to the 2nd

[jaybc]

On paper this is one of the best cards so far this year. Hoping to see AJ and Gomi get wins.

pulling for holloway

[Magicmees]

I want to







Goofed hard with UFC on FOX 11, fell over 120 places on spring contest. Would never bet that way when I was betting for money tho.

dat feel when i thought davis and johnson was the same person before entering TT

no racist

[PimpChitterling]

Anyone have fight of the night odds?

Davis/Johnson has potential if they both neutralize each other's wrestling which I think is likely. Could be a good ol fashioned wrestlers kick boxing slobber knocker.

[kleenguard]

I still havn't seen a tex fight that would make me think he belongs in there with Jones..

he's chinny because we saw Bader find it last time..

I'll say Jones gets him out of there before the end on the second .

this card will only set up a Jones/Davis fight that's going to be hard to get excited about.

Glover = Brazilian Rampage

Jones will outclass Glover, Davis will grapplefuk Rumble and Rockhold will TKO Boetsch.

same thing i was thinking

[PimpChitterling]

Probably going to take Medeiros in the upset. Big big lightweight. If he defends the Miller takedowns he is going to light him up on the feet.

I agree. Subbing Te Huna(who fought on short notice and has since dropped to 185) and knocking out Bader(while getting rocked in the process) isn't exactly impressive. Glover had a cake walk to this title fight and Jones is going to run through him.

this card will only set up a Jones/Davis fight that's going to be hard to get excited about..

"probably the most stacked card in UFC history"

Lol'd

lol thats the exact point at which i stopped watching. who the hell is he trying to kid?

[2011fastford]

Glover has yet to beat a top 10 guy in the UFC.. i dont see how he wins this fight..

[Magicmees]

Glover has yet to beat a top 10 guy in the UFC.. i dont see how he wins this fight..

But who was his last 3 fights? I'm pretty sure every single one of them was ranked in top 10 at the time of the fight.

just goes to show how sorry the LHW division is

[trainreqq]

Glover's poor defense and slow movement will be exposed badly. Rooting for Jones for the first and probably last time.

[PaddleBunt]

If Glover KO's Jones in Roy Nelson fashion I am going to be his biggest fan ever. That said, I see Glover gassing in round 4 and losing a decision

[Magicmees]

It is.. but that doesn't mean Glover ain't a good fighter. People overlook him badly.. its not like Gus had a better record than him.

[Ripped145]

You can't help but sense Jones' time is up. If I was betting man I'd put some money on Teixeira in an upset.

I just hope he doesn't try and stay at distance and trade with Jones with that telescopic reach of his as he will just get slaughtered. He basically needs to rush him. Get on the inside and start swinging hard. Jones does not have good one shot KO power. The only thing he needs to be weary of when he's up close is Jones spinning backfist or elbow which is much more likely to knock him out than any punch Jones can deliver.

[Von Brawn]

I have money on Glover, IDK if he'll win but I know he will hurt Jon Jones. He has all the tools Alex has with some serious power.

I still havn't seen a tex fight that would make me think he belongs in there with Jones..

he's chinny because we saw Bader find it last time..

Glover's hurt Rampage playing Rampage's game (Jones couldn't hurt him playing his own) and he KO'd Bader (Jones didn't). I'll agree he's being fast-tracked but its because of his style, he presents some serious problems for Jones.

Getting caught with a punch doesn't make a fighter chinny. Big Nog is chinny, Wandy is chinny, Glover is not chinny.

this card will only set up a Jones/Davis fight that's going to be hard to get excited about.

After Gusto and DC maybe

Jones will outclass Glover

Outclass him where, exactly? Jones has nothing for Glover on his feet and Glover has a better jits game.

Jones probably has a wrestling advantage and his best bet would be to GnP Glover. And if he can't take or keep Glover down, this fight is going to be more interesting than Gusto's.

Glover = Brazilian Rampage

Aren't you the guy that said Browne was going to KO Werdum? Have a seat

[HalfNatty89]

Some people are actually saying Anthony Johnson will beat Phil Davis. LOL

Glover is slow as **** and almost got KOed by Bader.

I hope Rockhold climbs up the ranks.

Im not ordering this nonsense, going to go down to the local bar thats showing it and hope jones gets ko'd.

[RoccoTanno123]

less length, slower, not as nimble, maybe more hittable definitely less durable.

i don't see it. he fights similar to peak Rampage, we already saw Jones easily handle that style.
