Hopefully Shogun utterly destroys Sonnen

This is a good card for FOX.  Better than the PPV last Saturday.

Apart from Overeem vs. Browne and Conor McGregor destroying Andy Ogle, I have no interest in this card.

Solid main card, outside of Hall/Ring.

McDonald/Pickett is going to be extremely fun, as well.

Sonatine your a hater this card Is GREAT!

Shogun vs chael is a good fight

Overeem vs hapa Browne is excellent

Alcantara vs faber is an even battle

Alves vs brown could be fotn browns fun to watch.

Uriah hall vs Nick ring probly weakest fight but still interesting to see how hall performs.

Michael Johnson vs Joe lauzon is a great fight could go either way.

Mayday MacDonald vs Brad Pickett is excellent fight another one could be fotn

Mike brown vs akira corrasani another good matchup.
Mcgregor vs ogle good fight

Brandao vs pineda great match

This is a really good card by recent UFC standards.

I´ll definietly tune in for the main card. Rua vs. Sonnen and Browne vs. Reem sound like fun fights.

Rua is a legendary fighter and one of my very favorites ! I hope he doesnt lose to that piece of trash, hope we get a good shape Shogun....

Do you guys think Reem will be able to perform like he did with roids in his body. He seems to have problems to block punches with mma gloves but he should finish Browne.

Hes only in bad shape when he loses and his knees only effect him when he loses. We all know that. Anyways I hope he puts a beating on Sonnen and and retires(Sonnen)

 I think he takes out Browne but UberREEM is probably gone for good as long as he fights in the U.S.

I'm rewatching some of Brown's fights, and I think he is entirely made to order for Overeem. He's a big, slow, awkward 6'7 guy. He is mostly a striker, and he does a lot of 'cute' stuff, like flying knees, spinning kicks, front kicks, etc., shit which is never going to work against Overeem (shit which didn't work against Bigfoot, either). He has enough athleticism for his size to sort of make this stuff work against the low level striking of rank and file tough-guy type fighters, but he has a lot of flaws. He throws his leg kicks from too close. He drops his hands.

Overeem by first round knockout. I'll be very surprised if Brown sees the second round.

I hope REEM takes out Brown early in the first...KO

Perfect dissection of the nu-breed bum, can't wait to see Reem smash him.

Liking this UFC already.  Nice choke followed by great GNP finish by OSP

Matt brown always been a favorite of mine good to see his style is paying off his muaythai Kickboxing is sick.

Oh an WAR HAPPA BROWNE!

Wow Oscar de lahoya just promoted the ufc....

Even going as far ad to say he copied what the ufc blueprint was and used it for his Monday night boxing show golden boy Monday night fights.

Quite interesting...

he has always shown love for mma. and said it in the past multiple times that boxing had to do what the ufc was doing. Complete Cards not just a main event

Great to hear boxing needs an overhaul and glad to hear a major figure from boxing isn't just calling boxing gay LOL.refreshing

Oh and faber is looking great very active versatile and using his wrestling well.
