    This is turning into a really exciting card. My mind is only made up about one of these fights and it has been for quite a long time.

    The Preliminary card could pass for a great free card on Spike. This is an awesome card so far. Hopefully Spike and Facebook are involved on this one.

    An undisclosed injury has forced Brad Pickett out of a UFC 130 bout with Miguel Torres, and fellow bantamweight contender Demetrious Johnson has been bumped from a fight with Renan Barao and has stepped in as his replacement.

    -Sucks... I really liked Pickett in that original match up and I'm sure he would have been a decent dog.

    I still see Maynard/Edgar as a toss up fight.. so I'll take a nice + on any fighter. Got Gray at +135 and that'll do.

    UFC officials announced overnight that Cody McKenzie has been forced to withdraw from a planned UFC 130 bout with Bart Palaszewski, and Gleison Tibau has agreed to step in as a replacement.

    Damn, planned to have Bart in a couple parlays, no way he was gonna lose tht one...big step up going against Tibau tho, but have to wonder how Tibau will deal with the cut due to shorter notice...he has been helping Alves out with his camp tho so will probly be in decent shape. On plus side it's one less contender for submission of the night...down to Barao and Macdonald now for me.

    Sucks!

    Edgar must of taken a kick or something to break two ribs! WTF

    So means there are only 3 fights on undercard at moment (not including the Spike card which will Torres/Johnson and one other.

    ya 3 at the moment, they definitely have to do some puzzlesolving and add another matchup. Hard to guess which matchup is going to get moved to the maincard, id rather see grove/boestch but it will probably be torres.

    A light-heavyweight bout between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (31-8 MMA, 6-2 UFC) and Matt Hamill (10-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) has been tapped the new headliner.

    Additionally, a welterweight fight between Thiago Alves (18-7 MMA, 10-4 UFC) and Rick Story (12-3 MMA, 5-1 UFC) has been promoted to the main card. That bout, which initially was slated for the "UFC Prelims" special, has been replaced by middleweights Tim Boetsch (12-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) and Kendall Grove (12-8 MMA, 7-5 UFC) on the Spike TV card.

    Yeah I was thinking Grove but then didn't Spike pull Grove off of the Spike card before because he criticized their involvement in TUF (against Reljic I think). I'd rather see Mcdonald/Cariaso but guess they'll all be on Facebook anyway.

    I must have missed that story/alves wasn't on the maincard before the edgar/maybed injuries, that just doesn't seem right but its corrected now. That is definitely a maincard fight.

    Yeah they wanted Alves on the Spike card so tht more people would watch and then buy the PPV according to DW, Alves spoke about it in an interview as he asked Dana why he'd been relegated!

    Huge blow to what would've been an awesome card. Still a bunch of solid fights, but the main event isn't exactly main event-caliber.

    how did Maynard catch Edgar in the last fight? I kept watching it wondering because I don't think Maynard is that fast. BJ is a far superior striker imo and couldn't do what Maynard did

    Maybe if BJ actually tried to fight instead of acting like a giant puss we would have seen his far superior striking.
