hope Shogun murders Vera, should be a good card

MrStuffins

This card is actually strong as hell! Some great fights lined up!

Good to see Mike Swick back FINALLY! He's been out for 2 and a half years!

I just checked the sky guide, and the event isn't down on ESPN?

Edit: Nevermind, was looking at the wrong day

Can't wait for this one. Another one of those nights the prelims could very possibly outshine the main card too.

Maurício Rua - KO/TKO
Lyoto Machida - KO/TKO
Joe Lauzon - Sub

Phil Davis - KO/TKO

Shogun by decision.
Machida by hadouken.
J lau by sub.

if this was a video game, Swick all day!

But it's real life and we have to take into account Swick's massive layoff and his ring rust.

Hoping he pulls it off though!

He looked great at the weigh-in. Psysically he is in shape, but its comes down to ring rust.



Machida's had a drink before he got on the scales and weighed in in at 201. ~I was concerned at first. But he was always a little light. he was 16-0 and untouchable. He put on a bit of mass to compete with the rest of the guys. And suddenly he lacked lustre vrs Shogun and then Rampage was catching him.
I'm glad to see the dragon back.

Bader looks absolutely huge as normal! I think Machida will do to him what he did to Tito though - decision win.

I have a funny feeling Vera is going to do it - Shogun has had so many injuries and has suffered 2 absolute beatdowns in his last 2 fights. Might catch up with him while Vera has absolutely nothing to lose.

Mr. Manager

Can anyone confirm whether or not there will be Prelims on Facebook.

The only thing I can seem to find is this which says there is none.

I'm in work until 23:30 (22:30 Irish time) and just want to know if there will be anything on while I'm in work.

Errr Forrest Griffin?

I see not many are picking Bader. Bader has a very legit shot because if he wants to lay and pray he can but also has the power in his hands to give Machida trouble.

Either way these two guys do not deserve a shot at the title. Bader has more of a case but Machida doesn't deserve a title shot at all.

leggo

All four fighters in the two main events have been dominated by Jones already, so it's a bit farcical to be talking about any of them getting a title shot at all. But if Bader were to win he'd be the only fighter with a somewhat decent claim given the momentum of recent, high profile wins and how long it's been since he and Jones last fought.

He'd have to win convincingly though to be considered, in any way, a credible challenger.

It says on UFC.tv that the prelims are starting at 10pm our time so you will probably miss a bit.

Strangely though, it also seems to require that you pay a $3 fee to watch the prelims. Hopefully I have it wrong because if we're going to have to pay for prelims from now on that is fairly crap.

Meant to say his last 2 losses - Shogun is very hit and miss - injuries have really plagued his career, especially in the UFC.

That Swedish bloke has to be next in line for a beat down off Jones when he Sparks Hendo

El Guapo!

Gustafsson? Yeah he is very good and potentially he could be a could challenge for jones but not yet. I hope they don't put him in anytime soon. He still needs more time in my opinion and could probably do with 3 more convincing wins against solid opposition first.

Does anyone know what's the story with the UFC.TV prelims showing a cost of $2.99 USD even when signed in from an Irish account?

Ask Zelaznik on Facebook. He should get back to you by Christmas!

Bit of a joke if they start charging for the prelims though.

Mr. Manager

In fairness though, it's $3. At todays current exchange rate it's probably the equivalent of an old shoe lace.

$3 more than $0 is $3 too much IMO.

Stacked card, I can see Shogun and Machida easily bypassing their opponents.

Not staying up for this.

Going to go dreamworld and then when I wake up I'll have lovely, ad-free coverage.
