This guy!

Can't wait, this card is gonna be stacked! Can't wait to see Rampage - Texiera and Cowboy - Pettis.

We got floor seats too, so hopefully I'll be mingling with some fighters.... or their GFs! lol

Dang, really? Hope you enjoy the fights! I'm still trying to get my tickets for the Ronda fight next month here at the Honda Center.

I hope Rampage wins, but his last couple of fights, it seems like he's lost it or just hasn't fully trained to his potential. I like both Cowboy and Pettis, so that's going to be a hard one. But I'll take Cowboy.

Thanks Bud! Yea I am super excited, my first live show! I hear it is a great experience, so we'll see! I'll definitely post up some pics.

Yea, it would be awesome to see old school Rampage doing his thing again. At least he finally gets to fight someone that likes to stand and trade, so it should be an explosive fight.

I feel the exact same way as you about Cowboy/Pettis. I like them both a lot. I think Cowboy takes it, but wouldn't mind a Pettis/Henderson rematch from WEC.

That would be sweet to see Ronda live! Plus Henderson/Machida will be an awesome fight to see in person. Hope you can get to go!

Ha, always good to see Bisping eating canvas. I had DVR'd the fights and was trying not to read results. Then I see, "Belfort KO Bisping Rd2" on ESPN.

I was like, "Oh, fast-hands Belfort must have steam rolled him with a nice flurry".

Then I see the fight and say, "head kick? GTFO Bisping".

I was looking forward to seeing Belfort demolish him with fast hands...but then I remembered that he's aged quite a bit since his early days.

I still remember that H-bomb Bisping received a few years back...that was pretty brutal!

lol yea, Bispingface is quite awesome. We owe Hendo for that.

Belfort is getting a little annoying. He thinks every fight he wins should result in a title shot. He had a great effort against Jones, but looked laughably bad against Silva. Belfort will always be a legend of the sport, and will put on exciting fights, but I don't see him becoming a champion again.

Yup. I was at the event, it was a ton of fun. Great main card on Fox, the UFC really lucked out. Two big finishes, a slobber-knocker, and a 5 round war.

Pettis is looking great. If he shored up the holes in his takedown defense, he is certainly ready for a shot at the title. His striking has become the most vicious in the division, and that means a lot!

Speaking of Pettis, he texted Dana at the post fight presser and told him he wanted ALDO next!!! What a war that would be.

Awesome show last night too!!

Yea, I saw that. I would love to see Pettis in any title fight. His game is pretty tight and his striking has risen to a whole nother level.

The card was pretty amazing, lots of upsets that I was hoping to see.

I was hoping for a better fight between Aldo and Frankie, and Rashad stunk up the place.

Still, it was GREAT to see Overeem destroyed lol
