    This one flown under the radar. Jung v Porier is gonna be such an awesome fight. It really has what it takes to be Fight of the Year!

    Main Card:

    • Dustin Poirier vs. Chan Sung Jung
    • Jorge Lopez vs. Amir Sadollah
    • Donald Cerrone vs. Jeremy Stephens
    • Jeff Hougland vs. Yves Jabouin
    • Fabio Maldonado vs. Igor Pokrajac
    • Tom Lawlor vs. Jason MacDonald
    Prelims:


    • Marcus LeVesseur vs. Cody McKenzie
    • Brad Tavares vs. Dongi Yang
    • T.J. Grant vs. Carlo Prater
    • Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Kamal Shalorus
    • Jeff Curran vs. Johnny Eduardo

    Seem to have the main card down twice :p

    Can't wait to see Cerrone get into the Octagon, hopefully Cody McKenzie finally gets a (sub? ;)) win in the UFC coming off two loses doesn't look good.

    No no, this is a special card, they're all gonna fight twice :P

    Cerrone is always so good to watch and him v Stephens is gonna be nothing but a war!

    McKenzie has gone a while without winning by Guillotine, he's due one :P

    Looking forward to these ones

    Really hope Zombie continues his form here. Really is a gret fighter and very interesting to watch. His fight with Garcia was FOTY and the rematch gave us SOTY. A win here earns him a shot at Aldo.

    Same for Poirier, who is a very exciting prospect.

    Should be an awesome fight!

    KoreanZombie is a pretty big dog with the bookies. He's probably a legit underdog but not 3/1 underdog.

    Had a little bet on him. Even though it goes against my rule of taking the value on a long underdog

    Hope the Korean Zombie wins and gets shot vs Aldo.

    We could see 5 rounds of mayhem.

    edit: Just realised that this event is 5 rounds so hopefully we'll get a good five rounds tonight, it's been too long since we've seen the Korean Zombie.

    Jung is a big underdog again. I'm gonna throw some money on him.

    Cerrone vs Stephens should be great too. Hopefully comes out more aggressive than he did against Diaz.

    There was a nice nod to Genki Sudo at the weigh ins by Tom Lawlor.

    Loved it! Really is one of my favourite MMA documentaries ever! Gave me a whole new level of respect for Dustin. Looking forward to tonight

    Soto did well to stay on his feet in that fight. I was full sure he was gonna be ko'd a few times there.
    I'm happy enough anyway, that's one in the bag for the fantasy league!

    It's on TV in Australia if you have sports channels on foxtel.

    Just caught the ME in the pub.
    Zombie out in force in the 3rd walking through punches, I think Dustin might get caught here if Zombie keeps swinging.

    Edit: Just a I post the above
    BOOM eats a punch, knee and sinks the sub. Great stuff.
