I wouldn't be opposed to Fedor - Hendo II at 200 either.. but Hendo & Bisping should really do a rematch from 100.

What I don't get is they'll put Aldo/McGOAT and Weidman/Rockhold or Rory/Robbie and Connor/anyone stacked on the same card, but headline Mighty Mouse with junk support matches.
Arlovski/Mir right before a flyweight match isn't doing that division any favors. They pushed PVZ/Alex Chambers back to be on this PPV thinking the hottie factor might earn a few more buys but I don't see it, not on what's basically opening day of college football.
Alabama/Wisconsin, ND/Texas, Arizona St./A&M, are playing opposite the PPV, which those games aren't exactly must see TV, they'll take a big chunk out of the potential PPV audience. Arkansas plays at 2:30. If I lived a few hours away I wouldn't make it home in time for the PPV and if I was staying overnight in a hotel doubt I'd spend money on it.
Then again maybe the plan is to put MM on when they know the MMA audience won't be the strongest.

They tried to get bigger fights on the card for this weekend... sometimes things don't work out.

Mighty Mouse headlined one of the better undercards (178) in recent years and it still didn't do good numbers... whatever "it" is; he doesn't get "it".

You know I went back and looked at the undercard again.
We're devaluing it b/c of the Main Event.
Arlovski/Mir will likely be one heck of a round as long as both of them are aggressive. This fight is likely for a title shot, so I'd think they'd come out throwing.
Rumble/Manuwa I don't know much about Manuwa, I barely remember seeing him fight one other time. Before Gustaffson KO'd him he KO'd 3 straight. Rumble is a highlight waiting to happen.
Blachowicz/Anderson Jan is who Manuwa beat in a decision in April, Anderson doesn't give too much excitement. Not sure why this match is on the PPV and not the prelims. Pearson/Felder would have been a much better match for the PPV.
PVZ/Chambers. It's pure hottie factor. PVZ is the it girl, and I think Alex Chambers is pretty bangable too if you met her out at a bar. Would be crazy if she could pull of another upset submission.
Pearson/Felder I've been high on Felder for quite a while. He's been training w/ Cerrone for a couple years and he's just become a mirror of Cowboy in the ring but with a little more flair. Both of these guys are tough as nails. Pulling for Felder big time.
Rivera/Lineker Could be the best fight of the night, or could end the quickest. MM/Dodson will probably be nutty exhibition of MMA, this fight could devolve into a street fight.
Adrade/Pennington Yawn. These seem to be two of the dumber chicks in the 135lb division, it might be as much a slugfest as we'll see at 135. I don't think either lady can put the other away, but I do think they'll try and throw all gameplans out the window.
Collard/Trator This probably goes down to who is most active. Collard's got a good chin, Trator doesn't seem to. Hope it doesn't last 3 rounds b/c if it does it'll be a boring fight.
I don't care much about the early prelims. Joe Riggs should be done fighting.

Dodson going to KO Johnson in spectacular fashion. Hopefully it sets up a super fight rematch vs Dillashaw.

Lol.... Johnson will dominate

They obviously gave Mangirl the Tom Cruise treatment to make her seem a lot bigger than Butterface. She's only an inch taller in reality.

Top 3 fights already announced on the next Fox card are better than anything on this card.. and it's FREE.. and not conflicting with college football.. I'll just wait to watch in a month when it's on Fight Pass

Dodson is being slept on like crazy. He's going to KO DJ and if they let him fight Dillashaw he will probably be favored

Just stop
The few weeks after Rorys loss to Lawler were incredible with you MIA.

Rory = GOAT WW

Part of Rory's GOATness is his trainer he abandoned the gamelan and got beat

Sweet excuse bro.
Anyone just watch McGregor and Faber on FS1?

Cerrone can't wait to get a shot at McGregor and shut him up.
I don't think Conor fully understands what waits for him at 155.

He needs to worry about RDA.

Eight figures on his next zuffa check if he continues this brilliance of marketing himself..

Why? RDA won't have the belt when he goes to lightweight.
Cowboy/McGregor is the fight to make.
