With a stacked card already(Aldo vs Koch,Belcher vs Belfort,Rampage vs Teixeira,Silva vs Fitch are the big ones)Big Nog has been retweeting people who say they want him on UFC 153.So this awesome card may be getting more awesome in the near future.

Here's one:

@danawhite The UFC Rio already has one of the best card in years! But please put on @Minotauromma in the event!

A rematch but not with Sapp

A fight with Barnett would be one I want to see. Barnette still has a strike force fight left on his contract but that would be a great return fight for Nog. I think Barnette called him out this week too.

I'd say my anitcipation for this card is a 7 or 8 out of 10. I think Stephan's a live dog too, mostly because of his size, grappling, and willingness to use it (Kingsbury). The Nog & Teixeira fights I'm lukewarm on cuz I think they both cruise. Maia/Story is relevant and interesting but the highlight of the main card for me is Fitch/Silva. I think Silva & Rory might already be the 2 best WWs and I'm excited to see if Erick can deliver.

I'm interested to see how the guys from TUF: Brazil fare and I think the Cane/Camozzi goes bye-bye, at least for a little while.

Idk... but it sucks b/c I'm going to miss this event.  I'm really pulling for Bonnar to get out of the 2nd round, for Glover/Fabio to be FOTN, Erick to get KOTN and Nog to get SOTN!!

I'm so stoked for Wagner Prado's fight.

I'm so sure he's gonna win - and land a title shot sometime in 2013.

I love watching the shows in Brazil.  The fans are intense and it sounds like game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals throughout.  That couples with a lot of very good match-ups should make UFC 153 one to remember.
