What do yall think about the logjam in the LW division currently? What's the order for someone (besides Edgar/Maynard) to actually get a shot at the belt? Anyone think Guillard gets a special surprise announcement in the ring from Joe Rogan at the end of the night (ala Jon Jones after the Bader fight)? Or is the winner of Bendo/Guida definitely next? I'd like to see Guillard fight Pettis next (if he beats Jeremy Stephens), and the winner of that get the title shot after the winner of Guida/Bendo.

Great card for sure. I bet by the time the ppv starts, I'll be pulling the $50 trigger. I wish they would have them on Sunday nights through college football season.

I don't think this is COTY here. Edgar Maynard is going to be a very boring fight. I predict Edgar winning by decision. Stann Sonnen I think is going to be an excellent fight. Aldo Florian I also think will be another snooze fest. I actually love all the fights except the main events

I think Melendez gets the next shot and there are rumors of that happening already. If Melvin wins again I would like to see him fight the winner of the Guida fight for a shot after Melendez.

I wish guillard would get a chance, but he really hasn't beaten any in the top 5 yet. It's about dam time he gets a good fight.

With an impressive win, Guillard will get the next shot. Gilbert Melendez is the wild card if he comes over.

Haha, LW division is so stacked I forgot all about Melendez. They need to hurry up and scrap Strikeforce.....no purpose in its existence.

Eta: wonder what happens if Edgar/Maynard have another draw? Gray is the only person to ever beat Edgar, but he'd probably get bumped way down in the pecking order....huge fight for him to say the least.

i hate that lauzon and melvin are fighting each other. like i felt when it was penn vs condit.

i hope gray wins the title so we can push the mosquito to the back of the line.

If Gray wins I would bet Edgar's next fight would be at 145

nah, i think he sticks around at least to try one more title run. He'd rather face Gray Maynard and Clay Guida than get his head lopped off by Jose Aldo.
