This card is freaking stacked. I can't believe it is so stacked that you got Pickett/Wineland and Chris Leben on the undercard and it actually being justifiable. From what I'm seeing the entire main card is all top 10 fighters other than Forrest Griffin. In other words...

No idea how you predict FOTN out of that lot. At least three or four contenders there.

JDS vs Cain

Maynard vs Lauzon

Leben vs Vemola

Pickett vs Wineland

Damn I was gonna ask if pubs would be playing it so you could sneak out that night, then I realized since the event starts at like 2am your time that would be a negative. :(

Yeah plus I'll be in the middle of nowhere in West Yorkshire. Hopefully there will be some wifi where I am and I can try and catch it that way.

Pickett vs Wineland belongs on the main card period. They should do a 6 fight main card imo...

@Dielegende I agree fully, that's a potential fight of the night winner apparently being shown on the facebook prelims? Someone goofed.

Yeah especially surprising since Dana seems to be a Brad Pickett fanboy, I hope they change it.

Leonard Garcia and Cody McKenzie should BOTH not be in the UFC. Garcia should literally be 0-10 in his last ten fights, and im not exaggerating.

I'm not going to lie, the title of this thread made me smile a bit. Nice to see a throw back of the name.
but still I love this card and everything about it. I am probably going to buy the poster when it comes out cause I like it. I can count over 7 people that headlined a UFC card in this event and that is awesome. First of all we see the return of Chris Leben, the MSU spartan Gray Maynard returns for a lightweight showdown, middleweight contender action, and a showcase verses old school vs new school of Forrest Griffin vs Phil Davis, and last but not least the rematch of JDS and Cain Velasquez. I title match up so good I made a promo for it.




anyways my "Of the Night" predictions

Fight of the Night: Brad Pickett vs Eddie Wineland

Knockout of the Night: Chris Leben

Submission of the Night: Chris Weidman

Will be a great card. 141 will be hard to top: Fitch getting KTFO, Overeem's performance, and most every fight was entertaining.

141 was ******* sick, except for the Fitch part. That KO made me into a huge Fitch fan.

Being that Okami destroyed Dean Lister (Belchers main training partner and an ADCC champion) champ with his top control I really don't think Belcher has good odds to win this.

The only guy I think that is realistically going to win is Kampmann in those 3 fights. Okami's and GSP's wrestling/judo are just too strong.

Nah Belcher has a very good chance as well. Lister fight was in 08, Okami vs Belcher 1 was in 06. Belcher got a lot better since then can't say the same about Okami's chin...

Belcher KO rd 1

Well and GSP just gonna lose because I say so, no realistic reason needed.

That's the biggest load of **** I've ever heard. Okami got knocked out by the greatest striker in the history of mixed martial arts and the most powerful middleweight in the division, Belcher got KOed by Jason Day.
