To watch the Facebook prelims just go to the Facebook page of the UFC and like it. Then you can watch for free.

There will be an alternative link on YouTube.

To watch the UFC.tv prelims go to UFC.tv (simples)

To watch the main card you need ESPN - (streams will be available somewhere. Don't post them).

This is pretty good card and there's a few "must win" fights going on here. The first and most obvious is Silva. It's a bit of a must win for him and Dana. More so for Dana IMO. If he wins this he gets a chance at a superfight with Jon Jones and is that bit closer to retiring undefeated in the UFC.

The second is Frankie Edgar. Not that he's going to get cut any time soon but he's on a 3 fight skid at the moment (all to current champs). If he loses where does he go from there? Move in weight class, again?

A win for Cub Swanson here puts him in a good spot for a title shot - personally, I think the winner of this fight should get one (not sure if that's been said already by Dana/Silva). The time between 162 and 163 is close so if either fighter is off for a while they should bounce back within relatively similar times - obviously excluding a tremendous beating suffered.

Chris Leben is my final one. He's been battling drugs (not to sound extreme) for a while now and he's finally come through and reckons he's on the mend. He claims to be reborn again and has found a new love of the sport. With a surging record reminiscent of Leonard Garcia it's hard to look passed him getting cutting with another loss. Despite being a huge fan favourite, I think it's inevitable.

Great finish. Dean shouldve stopped it much earlier.

Really hate how Dana has made Mike Tyson one of the poster boys of the UFC.

The guy is an absolute scumbag.

A convicted rapist and he bit the ear off evander hollyfield.

And Lord knows what he's got away with.

You also forgot that he never even competed in MMA. It's like making Michael Jordan a poster boy of football, just because they are both team sports.

It's a sport, not "Hello! Magazine", he's not where is he because of his private life, he is where is is because he's one of the best fighters of all time.

Meanwhile, back at UFC 162...

Munoz on the way to a solid win here.

seklly

Great fight from Munoz

MrStuffins

Glad to see Munoz do it. Not only has he come back from depression and severe weight gain but he's also one of the nicest guys in the sport

I like his t-shirt.

DrPhilG

Somebody want to give Gracie's corner men a towel???

Dirty beggars wiping his face off with their t-shirts!

I haven't seen such a novice like debut in the UFC since Rolles Gracie!

MrStuffins

2 rounds to Frankie IMO but I get the feeling I can't trust the judges. Frankiev does so much that doesn't seem to be appreciated as much as it should. Constant shots to the body for example.

Lenin Skynard

Frankie looks excellent alright. It seemed like such a bad matchup for him but he jumps in there and drills the punches and gets really impressive takedowns. Hell of a fighter.

Andersonisgod

I like Oliveira, he has a lot going for him, varied and dangerous standup, serious submission skills and still very young. The only thing against him is a questionable chin.

DrPhilG

Steven Segal is getting weirder looking every day.

So Mike can't be a can't be a fan because he never competed.

Mods, better ban 80% of the forum in that case.

A fan yes, absolutely. A poster boy (as Tyson seems to have become) no.

Watching Silva fight makes me so f*cking nervous.

Kylo Ren

Haha, Silva is nuts.

OH MY GOD!!!!
