Well, they've only been trying to put this fight together for over 2 years now, but maybe it'll happen this time.

Sakara is my favorite fighter so I hope he can dispatch Rivera... without any illegal knees or saliva-related incidents.

Should be a great slugfest.

After Rivera made the wrong decision and decided to still want to fight after that illegal knee(would of won fight by dq if he made the right decision). Then of course he got his azz kicked by bisping for remainder of bout. He lost me 300 dollars on a +300 moneyline (100 dollar wager). Yes, i too want sakara to beat him down

I think Sakara was far too timid in his fight with Weidman. He was just afraid to let his hands and feet go for fear of being taken down.

It wasn't even like watching the same guy.

Rivera does have some superfast hands, but they're only superfast for about 3-4 minutes. After that they seem to end up on his hips a lot.

I just like Rivera and his story, so I'll probably root for him.. But I like both fighters.  It's a win/win for me.

This should be an exciting fight and will contend for FoTN regardless of what else is on the card

Really hope it doesn't fall through again. Last time Sakara got sick hours before the fight. I see an injury during the walk in for one of these unfortunate men.

I just hope I'm not pumping it up too much in my head that it never meets my expectations, but it should be a real drag-out brawl.

Seems like an ill-advised comment either way to me.. Sakara has been doing well, winning 3 out of his last 4.  Win or lose, he'll get another shot.  I enjoy his fights.

I don't understand why he should GTFO regardless of weather he's kicking or kissing ass?

Yes theres no reason Sakara should get the **** out really... He only lost to Weidman and was on 3 fight win streak before that yes?

Yes he was! KO'd Vedepo, Decisioned Leites (coming off a title shot) and TKO'd Irvin. I don't get it either.
