I like that the fights will be live. Maybe they'll have Jon Anik calling the fights? Also curious is they make the guys stay secluded in a house for 12 weeks...that's a long fucking time.

PUMPED! Cruz and Faber are quickly becoming favs. Can't wait to "get to know them" a little better thru the show and see what these guys are really like. Are they douches like Bisping? Or are they pretty cool guys like JDS and Evans? We shall see.

Not a fan of Cruz, i find him trite and boring. Big fan of faber from watching him in WEC, really cool guy. If he get's the belt that would be amazing

He lost to Cruz once already but it was a good fight I think it got fight of the night I think caber also beat him b4 so this is the rubber match. If Cruz wins I'd like to see Cruz vs aldo

Faber beat cruz back in 2007 and in the re match for the UFC strap Cruz beat out faber on points, but it was really close. I think cruz is a mini gsp, fights not to lose where faber is always looking to finish.

Yeah. The "always looking to finish" combined with being marketable has kept Faber pretty relevant because he's lost a lot recently. What...twice to Brown, once to Torres and once to Cruz in the past couple years. Killing Bowles helped him a lot though. And the two losses to Brown can at least be explained (the first, he got too aggressive and just got blasted; the second, he got hurt in the fight I think and really couldn't do what he likes to do). But if he loses to Cruz again, I think his run at the top will about have to end, so I'd expect this to be a pure all-out blitz because he's trying to avoid losing relevance.

SP has a torn ACL and will be out 10 months, Diaz vs Condit for interim title, this is one of the best fights to make in MMA.

Aldo not torres. The loses, except cruz, came at a higher weight class.

hopefully the long lay off means he loses when he comes back, just like Cain.

Agree, but could care less, just want to see this dream match up.

GSP will have been out 18+ months since he last fought in April.
