This card is very average to below average.
Once again the UFC is selling a PPV that revolves purely around the main event.
Vote Ron Paul 2012
Let's not sugar-coat it fellas.
This card fucking sucks.

yup
the only place I’ve been to on that list is the Pratt St Alehouse. Nice place, gets very busy though, I would imagine that New Years weekend will be crazy.

this is a shitty card
but those shitty cards may be the most exciting. That is the only promising thing that could come out of this event. Other than Diaz losing.

This card is stacked! 142 is the card you should be bitching about.
Every fight on the main card will be good and at least four of the prelims are good.

Terrible card=great fights lol
This will be a good night of fights but nothing here besides Diaz-Condit gets my engine going. I would have sold Werdum-Nelson as the co-main event as no one cares for Pierce (yet)

Agreed.
No idea why they didn’t put Nelson vs Werdum as Co-Main.
Totally fucking stupid.

Because Nelson is coming off an unconvincing win over Cro Cop and Werdum is coming off a shitty performance as well.

Well, yeah, but they're both bigger names than Mike Pierce.
And on a card that is seriously lacking in name power, like this one, you gotta put up everything you’ve got.

Arlovski : Kang : GSP : Rampage : Lytle : Huerta : Stout: Quarry : Serra : Wandy : Pulver : Alvarez : Lombard

See I dont' think this card is lacking anything.
Sadallah, Herman, Jorgensen, Barao, Werdum, Nelson not to mention Kos and that’s not even the main event. Star power is good card just needs to deliver.

My fingers are firmly crossed.
There’s no way that the main event will disappoint though.

Jorgensen Barao is the other big one on this card for me.
Big fan of ol Spotty Scotty, that is one bad little dude.

LOL Spotty Scotty, brilliant.
True, he is good.

I wish I could take credit for that one.

Herman vs Weidman?? Why not?
Weidman doesn’t have a fight coming up, and Herman vs Weidman would of been a great main card fight
Herman 170? surely not
"ever heard of a tune up? tee hee hee hee
"ah hee hee hee ever heard of a ritual killing? tee hee hee hee"
"i dont get it"
"you gnaw on her face in public like that again and you'll be one tee hee hee hee"
Why is this listed at welterweight?
I’ve rolled with Ed, he’s not making 170 anytime soon. Anyway, I thought he would get Court, Belcher or even Weidman after his last two performances. The cards people always bash because of supposed lack of big names always turn out to be the best ones. Not worried… this will be good.
