July is gonna be a busy and awesome month for mma. We start off with a stacked 148 card. Then free fights on fuel followed by a strike force card that has Rockhold vs Kennedy (should be awesome) and Nates return. We finish with a ok 149 card all in three weeks.

Agreed, huge month. 149 looks pretty damn good to me so far.

I'm assuming they will end up showing a lot of the prelim fights during the pay per view.

Completely disagree, that dude is a really good fighter and it wouldn't totally surprise me if he won.

He has never impressed me and his best win was against a washed up Fedor and an average Mike Kyle

He's well rounded, big, strong, power in his hands. He could give Cain a lot of problems. I fully expect Cain to win due to his speed advantage however.

Nice rousey is one of the few women I enjoy watching. Her arm bars are nasty

I agree Bigfoot has some physical skills but he doesn't seem very technical in the way he fights and even looks disinterested a lot of the time.

Btw I checked out the movie fightville. It was pretty damn good documentary that any mma fan would enjoy.

That the Dustin Porier documentary? Checkout Driven, the Jens Pulver documentary, really enjoyed that.

Just watched the weigh ins. Should be an exciting night of fights. I imagine they will end up showing a decent amount of the prelim fights during the ppv due to the all heavyweight main card.
