According to what Dana said on UFC.com they plan on giving the live audience 13 fights.

I also heard that James Irvin could be the replacement against Rashad.

Is this a PPV event in the US, or are you getting it on Spike?

I think that Rashad has an explosive takedown(I feel like a better takedown than Tito at this point in time) and a good ground game. Pretty sure his plan is gonna be to take Chuck down, and drop some bombs, until he gets the KO, or until the ref stops the fight.

I say Vera, because I think he literally needs this win to get back into the spotlight. Yea Werdum beat Gabe, but it doesn't make him that much better than Brandon. So I'm gonna have to give my vote to Vera on this one.

Verra: submission???? over werdum???

werdums subs are ridiculous
he went to a decision with nog

Werdum's an excellent grappler, both pure and MMA, he's not getting subbed by Brandon Vera. He can sub Vera, but he will not be subbed.

Hughes will destroy Alves imo. Should be fun to watch though. And with Bisping and Leben ... this PPV went from me not being overly interested to me being pretty excited for it. The Bisping Leben fight should be pretty good. Leben being someone already well established in his division, coming off of a fight which made it appear as if he's improved. Bisping better not take him lightly, I don't think he will though. Thoughts/Predictions?

[wafb]

a win for Alves will bring him the winner of the GSP vs Fitch fight, can't wait.

[WouldLuv2FightU]

Hell yea Kampmann is back!

[RushFan]

I just re watched GSP vs Hughes 3.
God Damn! What a beat down! GSP is at least 15 pounds heavier than Hughes in that fight.
Everyone who thinks Hughes will have a strength advantage vs Alves is seriously mistaken.
Alves will own Hughes!
Sig bets welcome.

He could after being rocked ... but yeah, I think Werdum takes this fight as well.

I've rarely, if ever, seen Werdum really rocked. Sure, he falls down to his butt, but he recovers incredibly fast. I don't think I've ever seen him on wobbly legs.

I'm hoping Werdum takes this, since I want to see Werdum vs Nog 2. I loved their first fight, and Werdum's gotten so much better, and this would be a 25 minute fight. Ah yeah, baby, that's the stuff I've been looking for.

If Alves can avoid the takedown, then he can win this. Hughes' stand-up sucks, while Alves' is solid. I think Hughes will take this, but it could really go either way. Most think hughes is done, but I don't. Hughes got schooled by GSP, it happens. That doesn't mean he's finished.

I understand the use of the word bedlam but it sounds funny and not right for a PPV title.. Nice card though I won't be getting it, I'm all spent out after UFC 81-84
