According to the Numbers

Tapology picks are a little more skewed, but if you're on the fence about this one, these numbers might make you reconsider. 

Although, I think we'll get a large % of decisions as a result.

Main card looks solid. Undercard so so, but maybe it will deliver action.

Feijao vs Bader,.two guys who aren't good enough to stay in the top 10

Schaub vs Arlovski, two men at this stage who won't ever be top 10 caliber

OSP.vs Ryan.Jimmo, another two guys who.most likely won't be top 10 material

Yves vs Easton....again two guys who can't keep their head above water in the top 10

The card lacks a lot in the potential contender.and hot.prospect categories as does it lack at the top end with the big name factor but I do love the co main and.main events. The fights are competitively matched but very few top 10 level guys, very few promising prospects and a lot of non UFC.caliber guys. Feels more like a weak FOX card.or a strong FS1 card than a PPV event.

I'm thinking of going.  Far from sold out, tickets are reasonable.  I'd like to get good seats, though.

Anyone going?

I think whatever the first 9 fights might lack the last 2 will make up for. Rory/T-Wood could suck but I don't think it will and MM/Ali is going to be a great battle.

went to the weigh in, accidentally sat in the media section.  Nobody noticed.  You know you're a hardcore MMA fan when you recognize photographers and journalists.  I was sitting a row or two behind John Morgan.  Someone came and took a picture with him, which I thought was funny.  The best part of the Q and A was when this fat guy asked Carlos Condit if he would go on a trip with him if there were no women on the planet.  Condit said maybe.

Yeah, he seemed like a bit of a ******.  He was kind of a **** to another media guy.
