For fans of mixed martial arts, this past week has been a slow crawl of steadily rising anticipation for tonight's (March 26, 2011) UFC Fight Night 24: "Davis vs. Nogueira" event, going down at the KeyArena in Seattle, Washington.
In the main event of the evening, Phil Davis will look to continue his ascension up the ranks of the light heavyweight division when he takes on grizzled veteran Antonio Rogerio Nogueira.
Anthony Johnson will also finally make his return to action in what should be a "Rumble" against "The Outlaw" Dan Hardy.
It's been a flurry of non-stop news, analysis, quotes, predictions and previews for the past week and it's certainly understandable if you missed out on a few stories.
But don't worry, Maniacs, we've got you covered.
In cased you missed any or all of it — or just want to keep the discussion alive — below are links to all the major storylines heading into tonight's broadcast.
