    • 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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Nice return on the Zombie bet too.

    Sick i didn't get to see the korean zombies fight, last one of his fights i watched was against hominick and he knocked him out in about 5 seconds, such an unnexpected result given hominicks good striking.

    Pretty good card, the so called lesser cards always seem to be good.

    Yves Jabouin, Cowboy and the Zombie looked realy impressive. nice 80k in bonuses for the zombie. Missed the Sodallah fight. though mc donald would have been a better test for lawlor

    What a card and what a fight between Jung v Poirier! Amazing stuff!

    A fight between him and Aldo will be super!


    Also, about the ads: I counted 22 ad breaks, that's in a 3 hour broadcast. There were also OTHER breaks that took place in the states but not here, another 4 I think, making it 26 ad breaks!

    I'm glad I didn't watch it live :P

    Great main event. The Zombie is the man! Brilliant technical battle.
    Really impressed with Cerrone again. He looked very comfortable in there and he improves with every fight.

    Just watched the fight again sober and must say I ****ing love the Korean zombie. Like Jon Anik says he always goes for the finish. He's a ****ing legend and I'd love to see him win the belt.

    I think he's without a doubt the most likable and also the most exiting fighter in the UFC at the moment.

    And please replace Goldie with Jon Anik! He's a pleasure to listen to and knows his ****. Goldie got offered a contact by the WWE and I hope they'll still take him. That's the type of announcer he is. An entertainer, but mma is a serious sport which suits someone like Anik.
