For fans of mixed martial arts, this past week has been a slow crawl of steadily rising anticipation for tonight's "Rampage vs. Hamill" event, going down at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
UFC 130 will feature light heavyweight contenders Quinton Jackson and Matt Hamill squaring off, in what could be a title eliminator for the former and is certainly a potential career definer for the latter.
Also on the card is a titanic heavyweight tilt pitting former champion Frank Mir against "Big Country" Roy Nelson.
Brian Stann vs. Jorge Santiago, Travis Browne vs. Stefan Struve and Thiago Alves vs. Rick Story round out the main card action on pay-per-view.
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.
