Alves/Kampmann
Should be a fun fight to watch!
The problem is that there isnt another fight on there that is exciting to me… Maybe McGee/Philippou…
Sig bets with umabig:
Condit beats Diaz on Feb. 4, 2 weeks
Akiyama beats Shields on Feb. 26, 2 week
The addition of the flyweights and that 4 man tourny doesn’t excite you?

The UFC is shafting OZ with this card, after soldout support. It's just ok. Borderline thinking of not going to this one.
