I think I might be more excited for Evans/Rampage than Shogun/Machida if that's possible. Both are great fights to have and both in the same month of May.

Looking forward to those fights as well. It will be very interesting to see how Machida/Shogun go after their first war!! Evans/Rampage will be ended with someone going to sleep for sure!!

I think the reason people (including myself) are more excited for the Evans/Rampage fight is because all the smack they talk back and forth. Shogun and Machida just kind of go about their business until it's time to fight. Evans/Rampage get to talkin and make the fight more intriguing in my opinion.

As far as Jones gettin a title fight a year off, what do you think someone like Bader who is undefeated would have to do to get into the title picture? I would still LOVE to see Jones/Bader fight.

I could see Rashad going for lots of takedowns in that one like his last fight which may result in a decision. It is still a very interesting fight though, because they hate each other.

I dont think theyd do a Jones/Bader matchup any time soon, thatd be taking one prospect away right then.

Solid point. I kind of relate it to Velasquez and dos Santos. Keep letting them get solid wins to build them up.

Good point on the Bader/Jones prospect being taken away but at 205 because it is so deep I don't think its all that bad. If it is a close fight does it really totally remove one from the picture?

Thiago Alves fails CT scan and is out against Jon Fitch; Fitch to face Ben Saunders, who's opponent Jake Ellenberger falls off card:

I wonder what's wrong with Alves that he failed the CT scan.

Fitch/Saunders should be a good fight though.

Brock Lesnar live on Sportscenter now. Saying he is 100% recovered and can't wait to fight Mir/Carwin winner this summer!

When it comes down to Rampage/Rashad, Rashad can't under estimate Rampage's ground game.

I would like to see Hardy pull out a win tomorrow night but I don't think he will. I also wouldn't mind seeing Carwin knock Mir out.

GSP will expose Hardy for the B level fighter that he is. Hard doesn't deserve a title shot. I know Hardy has a Punchers Chance but that wins maybe 1 out of 100 times. Carwin will probably G & P Mir into Submission the way Brock did.

Me too but not nealy as badly as I want GSP to leave Hardy in a state of comatose. Yes that is a little much.. I dont' want any fighter injured. But I do want him to knock that smirk off Hardy's face.

Where is everyone watching the fights at? I usually just watch them on my pc.. but with the risk of live feeds being shut down I am not missing this. Several guys from the MMA school that I train at are fighting tonight at the advantage club then we will probably goto BW3's.

I'd LOVE to see Carwin destroy Mir and pound his face like Brock did..pretty pumped for this one tonight, and the free fights Wednesday night.

GSP is the man but I wouldn't mind seeing him lose. With that being said I doubt he will get beat. He may never lose again in his weight class. Wow I just looked over the card on Junkie and this event is almost not worth buying. GSP's fight is more than likely going to be him laying on top of Hardy for 5 rounds and Mir/Carwin could very well be end in under a minute. Fitch and Alves would have been good but Alves is out.
