Pretty good main card by ZUFFA standards.

I really like watching Ali Baguatinov and hope he beats Lineker. I can't stand guys who constantly miss weight.

It's worse to me than guys who constantly gas. You are supposed to be professionals.

Main card is moneeeeeey. Sick fights.

The top four fights all make perfect sense. What more can you ask for on a main card?

Great fucking card this is what people expect when your paying ppv prices.

Undercard isn't uber stellar but has some decent fights as well.

Barao will retire faber for good

Is the constant gas remark a shot at me???

I don't know. I think it'll be close and no way Faber gets finished. I think Lamas has a better chance of beating Aldo though.

LOL, great smiley.

Faber with Ludwig muay Thai.....

Barao will go down if faber stays in his face and keeps pressure on him IMO barao will gas.

Faber looks the best he has since wec title reign I understand how great barao is but I see the fire in urijah and I can't help but root for urijah to finally achieve gold in ufc.

I myself saw him as what Dominick Cruz said he was basically a mid tier Guy who would always hang around top rankings but never be champ.

After seeing the evolution of team alpha male I just feel NOW is urijahs time.

It is a good card. Should be on FOX though with all the money they are paying Zuffa. Zuffa is giving FOX some watered down cards and the ratings are showing it. FOX can't be too happy about this. UFC needs to reduce their cards and roster, improve their card quality, have 3 or 4 mega PPVs each year and then stack up nice FOX cards to get good ratings. Put everything else on FOX Sports 1 (which should also have major card quality improvements from the usual). UFC has put on a rare real high quality FOX and FX cards in the past but this should be everytime out. They are settling for quantity over quality and are oversaturating their product and FOX cannot be thrilled.

War Faber. War Bagautinov. War Magomedov. War Umalatov. And I don't usually say this, but war Overeem. Just please rid the MMA world of Frank Mir. Thanks.

DJ is so handsome, no wonder the other asian kids are mean to him at school, they jelly of his aesthetics, they some squirrels den.

California is really the mecha of mma....

On my local news they had a full interview with faber along with a preview of the ppv card.

I love how Cali always gets behind the local guys.with the faber McDonald fight they had the same and the local rock 96 7 station has breakdowns of every ufc card.

If ANY company could make a real presence in north America I could see MMA news would be epic.

With the prelims being this awful, buyrates for the main card are probably going to bomb.

I want to see Alistair knee Mir's head into the stands, not 15-minute manlet grindfests, sort it out Dana.

  you pay bananas and you get a bunch of monkeys

Tuning in for REEM vs. MURR lulz

Also obligatory pointless fact that Urijah Faber's first pro loss was in my home town.

I'm not watching as I have better things to do on a Sunday afternoon than watch UFC. But looking at the results, 9 decisions in 10 fights so far?? Thank god I'm not at home watching this.

REEM is crud lol.

Aldo didn't win or lose in 3 rounds so I dipped out then. He was a cool fighter in WEC but youeffsee turned him into another decision bum.

I watched 6 rounds total of UFC and it was 6 rounds too many   

na na na naaaa, na na na naaaa HEEEEEEEYYY Goodbye Murrrrr

Time to go fight at WSOF or Titan FC with the cans, where you belong.

  

Nice Uberknee, Mir was out for a second on his feet.
