I don't care what Dana says, the chick-fight as a headliner is a dud. I'll pass.

Hendo.
Menjivar.
Neer.
Kos in a very one-sided bout.

Shaub
Kuivanen
Bermudez
Fodor

Don't think I recognize any of the Facebook prelim names.

I for one can't wait to see Robbie Lawler back in the UFC. The kid was a really promising rising star back when he was chucking cinder blocks and doing the whole primal rage stuff against his opponents. Amazing to think that was almost 10 years ago, back in the early 2000s in the UFC. Obviously Kos is a pretty tough test, but as always, Robbie has a punchers chance. He still throws bombs. Could care less if he wins this fight, or the next 5, he belongs in the UFC just as much as guy's like Pat "HD". There's such a thing as entertainment fights

this is kinda a weird card for me. normally i just wanna see good fights and dont really have a routing interest, but im 100% behind hendo. couple reasons-first, i think if machida wins its gonna be a long, boring fight. if hendo wins he's probably gonna KO machida. secondly, i think hendo is one of only a few people who can beat jon jones, and i really wanna see hendo v jones

Am I the only one here who thinks woman fighting is just retarded? I know some of them are good looking but fighting is a guy thing. When woman fight it reminds me of white trash girls or a ghetto fight.

Im sorry if that offends anyone, but I just have no interest in watching women fight in the UFC.

I have to agree with you. I have no interest in watching women fight.

This is why I can't stand womens MMA. They can't sell it on ability alone, they have to add this type of sh*t in.

I have no problems with women's MMA, some of the best fights I've ever seen have been women's fights in Strikeforce, Elite XC or Invicta. However the only girl with any real chance against Rousey is Cyborg and that fight is never going to happen so every fight she is in will be completely one sided.

For the rest of the card I'm picking Machida, Faber, McGee, Koscheck, Johnson, Chiesa, Bermudez, Stout, Robertson, Magny and Villefort.

Well said. I agree with this completely. I just have no interest in it whatsoever.

rousey's throws are awesome. i also think women can be better than men w/ subs since they are more flexible. i look at womens mma kinda like the wnba. it probably wont be up to par athletically w/ mens bball just b/c of anatomy, but if women wanna play and there's a market for it, go for it. plus womens mma is much more closer to mens mma than the wnba is to the nba.

i also dont really get why it would look trashy. i agree women street fighting is trashy, but so is dudes who get into fights out in public. this isnt a street fight, its a sports.

but if hendo loses i might turn it off lol

Better at subs? No. This is elite MMA, flexibility isn't an issue.

I get what you are saying about it being "trashy" and think you make a good point.

Bottom line, I enjoy watching to pro's punch one another in the face but only if they are men.

I don't want to watch Women fighting, bottom line.

That being said, they have every right to do it and if people pay to watch it, all the power to em.
