    Wow, pretty good card if it happens. Would need a big fight to support Edgar/Maynard, even if it is a title fight.

    I like Vera, especially when he comes in as the dog for this fight. I'm not a big fan of Thiago Silva's style. He's sloppy, slow, a bit chiney and gasses. He'll also be coming off a year layoff. Vera SHOULD be too quick for him. But as always, never go heavy on Vera.

    i can see this fight going simaler to the Soszynski fight.... a slower slugger getting outworked and out pointed by a vera.... but i would love to see vera got knocked clean out.... im a fan of thiago;s slugging style

    I'm with you on this one vaughany, Stann will come in as a big dog. Definitely worth a shot.

    Announced matchups





    hopefully they have a great matchup in the works because for a new years day card this is looking average to me considering the matchups and how they will likely play out.

    As usual will be doing the standard Guida by decision and Gomi to win straddle and Edgar/Maynard to decision. Also if Stann uses the same strategy that he had in his third fight with Cantwell where he hit and run he might be able to pull of the decision against Leben.

    Perhaps Mir will replace him? I'll be very interested to see what the odds will be in that case.

    Mir would make for the best match-up, I think. Two above-average strikers with excellent grappling.

    Before the merger news we were hearing Hominick would get the shot, now its looking like Josh Grispi will get it.

    They made the right decision adding in the Aldo fight, rather than replacing Carwin to fight Nelson.

    yeah maybe Hominick will get Aldo after Grispi. Either way they both are doomed!

    No way the fluke is solid. He will give Aldo trouble. I hope Grispi comes in as a big dog like Gamburyan, however I don't see that happening either.

    Couple decent fights, but kind of weak now for a new years card without Aldo.

    With the all the obvious results from this event, how can you tell the difference between this and WWE?

    I'm not impressed, but I will watch it for sure

    Edit: and Brown on the prelims, what up with that?

    This looks like a good card to me. Maybe not the biggest names, but on paper it looks like the fights should make for an exciting card.
