sorry guys, Lil Nog's got this. IF rashad remembers how to wrestle, he's got this as well.

I root for Shogun and Lil Nog, too bad one of them has to lose.

I hope Rashad runs into that right hand

the rematch between shogun and little Nog will not be as awesome as the first but I am looking forward to it.

Oh yeah i forgot shogun vs lil nog 2 was going to happen. Should be good.

Shogun will win a clear cut Decision and Evans will wear Hendo down may finish him by sub late in the fight or a UD

rashad is coming off a couple poor performances dan is a beast and always puts on awesome fights rashads wrestling is great but if you have noticed the trend with the blackzilians is to kickbox and with evans shitty showings as of late im thinking hes going to try and finish dan with strikes.

dan on the otherhand needs to teturn to his wrestling not just as a fallback gameplan if hendo atleast faints the takedown it will open up that H BOMB to drop.

Not ordering this PPV. This is an average FOX card. This card should be on FOX or FX.

Last weeks PPV was real solid....Ordered that one.

yes but with Kenny now being the wrestling coach i think he will go back to what hes good at

and to the guy above me i think this card will be better then 160. Nog/Shogun will be awesome again(FOTN) Evans/Hendo probably wont be too exciting but watching it live it will be a real good fight, Roy/Stipe will end in a nice KO, Pat/ Shawn i think could also end up as FOTN, and the women always bring it. the Under card is also very soiled. Jake Shields vs. Tyron Woodley should be in the main card or at least Ryan Jimmo vs. igor Pokrajac

There are some solid fights but not PPV worthy IMO. Card needs a title fight. 160 was a great card top to bottom on paper and the main card really delivered on PPV so I don't see this one better on paper at least.

Shogun might be off the card completely, now.

What championship will that be for???

Shogun-Sonnen is actually an intriguing fight, in my opinion.

^Agreed. I wouldn't mind seeing that one.

Maurício Shogun and Chael Sonnen will face off at UFC 161. After volunteering for Twitter to replace the injured Rogerio Nogueira in the early hours of Monday, the loudmouth American actually hit with the Ultimate last minute entry on the card of the day June 15 in Winnipeg, Canada. The information was confirmed by Combate.com to sources close to the organization.
More information shortly.

Better fight than tarnishing the legacy that legendary fight made in the first place.... and i hope shogun destroys sonnen, I hope he breaks all of his teeth

I don't like shogun in this one he's been training on boxing and focused towards a striker/bjj Guy now u got sonnen who's wrestling is great ....

I can't help but see a boring recreation of Silva/sonnen 1 with sonnen making it the distance this time round LOL.

If sonnen gets the takediwn early ( he will due to Freddie Roach screwing up shoguns mma base) he's gonna gnp and smother him and Mauricio cardio will fail.

I liked the pride rematch FAR better
