I like GSP so this sucks.

But this is what I love about UFC and why it is kicking boxings arse. Top guys can't fight? bullshite.!! Champ is hurt? Well we will let 2 top guys fight for "interim" title and then they HAVE to fight GSP!

Yep, no fighting tomato cans to pad ones record to 30-0. Wanna be the best, gotta fight the best. Arum and Don King can't hand-pick your scrub opponent in this sport.

Really hope Condit wins, but I just don't see it happening.

Overall, the card looks kinda meh on paper.......so that means it will probably deliver and be an exciting night full of great fights

Has KBeezy been training with Poirier for this fight? This weekend could really launch him up into the spotlight and make him a main card fixture if he has a good showing.....

I agree with this comment. I am not overly impressed with the quality of fights that are on the pay per view.

Condit is a machine and hopefully he can get past Diaz's boxing. I do not care for Diaz but recognize that he is a world class fighter.

Would love to see a Poirier vs Korean Zombie match. Love both of the figthing styles.

It's too bad Koch had to pull out, cause many people were saying that would've been a #1 contender fight. I agree though, a match-up against the KZ would be exciting, but also (if he wins @143), a fight against the winner of the Bart P/Hioki for the #1 contender would be awesome as well.

Lots of hype around this guy. Was hoping they would air his fight on FX so I could DVR it.

Yeah, he has never lost an amateur or professional kickboxing match....something like 100+ - 0

I was reading about him the other day, and he has been helping train some of the best in the world (GSP, Anderson Silva, etc). It will be interesting to see how he does in tUFC....

Should be a great fight(Diaz v Condit). I wonder if Big Country will go to the ground with Werdum. I can see him trying to pull guard on Roy, because I dont think he wants to stand with him.

FX Prelims look good. Lot of guys I like fighting.

I think this is the big prospect out of chute box but not completely sure if that's him or not. This card doesn't have really many big fights but I think it's gonna have more entertaining fights than what we got on fox. Nate and Condit is gonna be a war.I think Roy is to big for Werdum to take down and Roy beats him on the feet.
