I'm not even a huge Silva fan or many of the guys on the card in general but this is the most excited I've been for a UFC card on paper in awhile.

top 4 fights include 2 fights w/ title implications (struve/hunt, lombard/okami) while the other 2 include 4 fighters who have all taken home "fight of the night" (silva/stann, gomi/sanchez). if there were 2 bigger names on top of this card you could probably make it a ppv.

There will be a KO in the main event. Stuve vs. Hunt should be funny to watch. Whats the height difference a foot?

Not to bitch about a good, free card.....but how are they going to pull off 6 fights? Looks like its going to be a 10-1 am event, which sucks for anyone who has to get up incredibly early the following morning.

Really looking forward to seeing Gomi-Sanchez. Might have to see it at around 5-6am when they're doing the replay

Probably the best Fuel card yet on paper. Could be a pretty depressing night for me if Silva, Hunt, Gomi, Lombard and Bahadurzada all lose like I think they will.

I think half the reason I'm excited is that it's in Japan, crazy **** just seems to happen there.

I hope you're right but I think Okami will grind out a close but boring decision.

That first match made me feel dirty. If I wanted to watch a gay porno I'd rent one.

HIghway robbery in Gomi/Sanchez by the judges. Abysmal all around. Tons of split decisions going to the right people until that. Gomi won that 30-27 easy.
