    On tonight 11/4/14.

    Heavyweight Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Roy Nelson
    Featherweight Clay Guida vs Tatsuya Kawajiri
    Welterweight John Howard vs. Ryan LaFlare
    Lightweight Ramsey Nijem vs. Beneil Dariush

    Preliminary card (UFC Fight Pass)
    Heavyweight Jared Rosholt vs. Daniel Omielańczuk
    Middleweight Thales Leites vs. Trevor Smith
    Featherweight Alan Omer vs. Jim Alers
    Bantamweight Rani Yahya vs. Johnny Bedford

    Read earlier that Big Nog has never lost 2 in a row. With such a long time in the MMA game that is an astonishing record.

    What's the craic with this? It's on at a weird time right?

    Serious amount of underwhelming cards with "UFC" branding on them lately!

    Whatever happens I sincerely hope Guida loses and gets cut. He's such a nothing nowadays. Prances around and with Greg Jackson giving him a "gameplan" he's going nowhere.

    Would much prefer one or two cards a month with great fights throughout, way too many average cards now.

    I've just had a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UFC_events and there's so many fights that are headlining which are completely irrelevant. How the fúck does Matt Brown and Erick Silva headline??

    So many mediocre cards lately that there's been a good few events I've missed altogether and haven't even been bothered watching them back. And I used to watch every single fight all year round.

    Back on topic: I still really can't warm to Nelson and I hope he loses. Other than that, there's not a lot to get excited about with this card. Hopefully some of the fights exceed expectations.

    This.

    I used to watch every fight from every promotion, now there are so many sub par events that I just cant be bothered with some of them!

    I hope Nog know's he won't be KO'ing Country and goes for a nice sub instead. Nothing against Roy but Big Nog was always one of my favourite fighters.

    Anyone know what time it's on?

    Most cards these days are prelim quality of years gone by. Very few are stacked anymore, and when they are a bloody injury ruins the thing.

    I rarely miss a card, and I don't expect that to change. Of course with a stacked event and lots of fights with title implications the anticipation will be higher, but many of these dull (on paper) cards end up having great fights.

    Main card starts at 7 on espn, not sure why its not on btsport.

    I can't see anything other than a big nog win

    It's a fight pass card. Bedford - yahya was a no contest due to accidental clash of heads. Shame I had a bed on it.

    Great first round. I don't have a bet on this fight but very exciting first round. Omer with a broken thumb maybe?

    Leites really needs a proper test! I can't see anything other than a rosholt win in this.

    Yeah i have Rosholt in a seperate bet with Leites, Guida & a Big Nog submission! Very entertaining card so far!

    I have Rosholt, Darisuh, Kawajiri, La Flare on points and Roy Nelson, all in a few bets. May the best man win!

    And now there both gassed.

    Terrible fight though, Rosholt should finish this. I am not that confident of a Roy win though but one pnuch on Nog and it is good night.

    Yeah the boos are raining down, technical styles like this just arent entertaining ala why shields was cut.

    Exactly roy just has that massive power that im afraid of!

    I don't mind good technical fights but Rosholt could have finished that at any point really. He needs to be a bit more adventurous against inferior opponents. Next fight should be good! If Nog avoids Roy's bombs in round 1 & 2 he takes it IMO.

    If it weren't for Volkov knocking out Mighty Mo in Bellator, Nelson would have gotten KO of the week.

    Would like to see Leites get a much better opponent next time out.
