The fighters are weighed in and there was only one change to the preliminary card. 

The main card has some fun match-ups, but eagle-eyed members should be able to spot some top prospects scattered throughout the Spike.com broadcast. 

Prelims should begin between 630 and 7pm ET followed by the main card on Spike TV at 9pm.

I'm so happy Manhoef knocked out Marshall.  I remembered Marshall's iron cross tattoo and thought back to how big of a ****** he is and it made me want to see Manhoef succeed even more.

UFC needs to take a thing or two from Bellator in their promos. That atom bomb promo was ******* awesome.

Marshall is definitely the poor man's Manhoef.

Coker set this up to make Manhoef look cool and then get a title shot.

Manhoef will smash Shmelenko if he gets past Halsey.

I'm so happy that Manhoef is getting a title shot after this.  I hope Schlmenko wins solely because the striking battle between the two would be bat**** bananas.

******* Julio Cesar fought 15 times in 2013 and is 30-0???

I really wish the UFC had signed him instead of Bellator.

The weird thing is despite having no clue about most of the undercard fighters and a couple main ones I got a perfect or semi on every pick I got right. With UFC I have a tendency to only get the winner right half the dang time.
