EPTThe early prelim fights are pretty good too. Mousasi vs Santos is going to be good. Lesnar drives the PPV sales and is the only reason its the Main Event. I still can't decide if I want to buy this one or not..

if Jones uses the "tainted supplements" excuse and then we find out the tainted thing costs like $300 per nanogram then its a BS excuse. As of now he has not officially used the tainted supplements excuse. | ||

While the "WOW" fight for hardcore fans was DC vs Bones, Aldo and Edgar are still on this card to scratch that itch. Yeah, I guess you're right. To me, there's little exciting in someone with a 12-10 record (rank 8) vs someone with a 5-3 record, when the last two times we saw Brock he got demolished. So because I don't value this fight nearly as high as some, and I'm not a fan of women MMA, there is no wow for me anymore. But like you said, there's plenty of big fights that will dictate many of the weight classes for quite some time. Aldo vs Edgar is huge (gets title fight), Browne vs Cain is huge (the winner of this could easily get a title shot). I think that T.J. vs Raphael is another massive massive fight (winner gets title fight), and Gastelum vs Hendricks is a do or die for both of them, and they are two big names. Prior to the Jon Jones thing, this card was a 9.7/10 for me, now it's like a 9.2/10 (McGregor would've made it 9.9/10, and having Lawler there as well and a couple different prelim cards would make it 10/10). Anyway, hoping for the best! | ||

Lots of people volunteering. I would not enjoy Silva here, I think that'd be the one sided fight in history. Michael Bisping said he's up for it, which would be sick af. Silva has no win in the last four fights, and I think he'd get crushed. Rashad Evans would be another neat fight that I'd enjoy. edit: Sorry, my bad for posting in all separate posts. | ||

Dana lucked out so much that bisbing actually own he is going to want to collect in London. I think everyone would get humiliated on two day's notice. Someone like Gegard Mousasi would not have enough hype for me at all. And then there is Donald Cerrone trying to get a fight lol, that'd be hilarious to watch, back to UFC 1 roots. edit: Supposedly UFC have narrowed it down to 3, and Silva is one of those people. | ||

Anyway, hoping for the best! Do or die for Hendricks. Kelvin is 24 with split decision loses to the guy fighting for the title and the #7 ranked fighter. As long as Kelvin makes weight I don't think his standing will drop even if he loses. | ||

Jones did not get pulled because of weed and coke because it was tested out of competition. It would only matter if tested positive 48 hours before the fight. He popped for PEDs. Anyways new test results should be coming out later tonight so we'll see | ||

I thought out of competition recreational drugs were not allowed either, that's where the confusion came from. | ||

DC was an undefeated heavyweight who went down to fight Jones and so far his only loss is to Jones. They also have a famous altercation in the MGM lobby and many TV appearences. Hes also an olympic wrestler and many believed that was the one to beat Jones (legitimately). | ||
