        They're on Sunday in Japan, but here, standard time, due to timezones...

        Edger vs Henderson is 5 rounds.

          Yeah, odd scheduling lately... We had a card every Saturday for a while, then they took 10 days off and had a card on Wednesday, now another 10 days before having a card on Sunday, then not even a full week off before having a card the following Saturday, then NO card for a month!

            So it's technically on the 25th, not 26th?

              Yeah, UFC.com confirms... though I'm not sure if the poster states the 26th since technically it will be the 26th in Japan when they go down...

                              You need evidence to know that Math is hard? "Math is hard" is one of the first things most children (apart from guys like you and Bill Hunting) learn growing up.

                                I think kids hear that math is hard and believe it, much like people learn that brussels sprouts are gross and believe it, when they're delicious.

                                  Brussel sprouts are indeed delicious.

                                        That's not true. I've got a ridiculously high IQ, yet never took an interest in Math. I would learn whatever I needed to for school for that week, but I would forget it all pretty quickly. Right now I can't even remember simple geometry and algebra.

                                        Myself aside, many smart people are poor at Math. (i.e. Albert Einstein)

                                          Albert Einstein was not poor at math. That is a silly urban legend that has been debunked several times before.

                                          People also like to mention that he failed his college entrance exams on his first try. Which is true, but he was sixteen, and didn't study at all for it.

                                            I find it hard to believe that anyone with a 'ridiculously high IQ' would struggle with anything less than linear algebra.

                                            Was your IQ test proctored, or did you take one of those silly online ones? I don't know anyone who scores under 125 on them.

                                              I'm sure if you put your efforts into learning geometry and simple algebra, you could figure it out. Some people don't have mathematical minds, and fair better in the arts and humanities. However, I think any person with above average intelligence can develop a decent understanding of basic math.

                                              I'm currently taking a Calculus course in college. Man do I miss algebra and geometry.

                                                    Yeah, but you'd just arb it out by betting your right nut that it wasn't.

                                                            Was your IQ test proctored, or did you take one of those silly online ones? I don't know anyone who scores under 125 on them.
                                                            Albert Einstein also had a ridiculously high IQ and he was terrible at Math.

                                                            So, try not finding it so hard to believe, ol' buddy ol' pal.

Some people don't have mathematical minds, and fair better in the arts and humanities. However, I think any person with above average intelligence can develop a decent understanding of basic math. I'm currently taking a Calculus course in college. Man do I miss algebra and geometry.

                                                                      Usually individuals with high IQ are good at math. Science illustrated suggested that Einstein had an Iq somewhere between 230-250. If he was poor in math, he wouldn't be interested in maths and astrophysics. Its very unlikely that individuals spend 10 hours a day exercising something you really hate and do not handle very well.

I'm still curious as to the usefulness of knowing the derivative of arctangent.
