Weigh-ins
Personally, I'm super stoked for this card as a fellow countryman, Chan Sung Jung, will be fighting, not only as the main event, but for a title! Here's to the Korean Zombie for a shot as the first Asian UFC division title holder.

I'm guessing you're stating this as 100% full blooded Asian.
Cause Ben Henderson is 50% Asian.

I don't see Aldo losing to KZ. It will be interesting, but Aldo is a beast.

I don't see Davis beating Machida. He doesn't have that killer instinct in his striking.
Jon Jones was able to get off some nice strikes and elbows to disorient Machida... which lead to the dragon getting choked out.
I just don't see Davis pulling off the upset.
Aldo > KZ | Machida > Davis
Well, yeah, I know Bendo is half Korean, but when you look at Bendo, will he be seen as "the black guy" or "the half-Korean/half-black guy"? Not trying to bring race into a discussion, but people won't be acknowledging the fact that we already have an Asian champion UNTIL a full-blooded Asian fighter becomes champion.
And of course, technically, Sakuraba has already won a UFC tournament, so he's the first Asian UFC champion, so I specified "title holder" ;D
Imagine if the Korean Zombie wins though... Maybe in an upset like the Weidman fight. Would people go nuts? Would people give off excuses as to why Aldo lost? Would folks start hating on the Korean Zombie for toppling a pound-for-pound best?
I love Aldo, but I'll be rooting for Jung through thick and thin. Unless Jung decides to do something bad, like cheat. Then that's not good.

I'm rooting for Jung too, but its hard to imagine a scenario where he beats Aldo.
I feel nervous for TKZ. Not getting KO'd doesn't mean you aren't taking serious damage. TKZ has had too many brutal fights. Sure, in his Leonard Garcia fights, most fighters would've crumbled under that punishment. It's good to have heart. It's also a huge health liability, especially when it comes to brain trauma.
He's entertaining, sure, but no one can take that many punches to the head without ramifications down the road. Watch his fights, the dude doesn't protect himself. He throws his punches without putting his head down at all.
And now, he's going against the best striker he's ever fought. TKZ can not keep going like this. I just want to see the guy start defending himself, or his career is going to one day look like a tragedy.
Aldo's fight will be interesting, but I'm really looking forward machida's fight. I hope dave's gets so beaten that dana white has no way to ignore machida's existence anymore ... Expecting round2 ko's for both aldo and machida ...
Well, Machida is probably just on the bitter end of Dana White because he declined the UFC 151 fight with Jon Jones...
Anyways, I hope The Korean Zombie has some nice takedowns from his training with Alpha Male, and maybe some nice Judo training from training at the Korean Top Team... I'd imagine unless Aldo does a Silva, Korean Zombie's best bet is on the ground.
