This would be an epic Brazil card , wonder if they are doing this on purpose to get them all healed at the same time for the next UFC Brazil

Could be. Depending on who Anderson fights. If they put Anderson and Aldo on the next Brazil card, that would sell out in minutes.

My major concern with Jose is that it will have been 1 year and 1 month since he last fought when he faces Frankie, also now we are getting talks from his manager that Jose is having problems cutting weight.... "he doesnt want to do it anymore"...... which doest have to mean its a problem but we will see. I think im one of the few that thought his cardio against Hominck was fine

I believe Aldo said if he beats Frankie he will move up to lw. Which is good for everyone.....Aldo himself because he won't have to go through brutal weight cuts and for the fans because there are much much better fights for him at lw then there are at fw.

Speaking of the Edgar/Aldo fight I really hope if Aldo loses that Frankie gets all the credit and it doesn't turn into an excuse party for Aldo. I don't know if Jose and his camp would do that but I feel his fans already are brewing up the excuses in case he loses.

@ P4P no excuses needed

Also that poster is weird, it isn't a "superfight" anymore it's for the 145 belt only and Frankie is coming of a "loss"

@die I think the UFC is just in love with the phrase "super fight" and despite that Frankie is coming off 2 straight losses apparently it's still considered one.

True, nonetheless I'm excited for this fight, Frankie will be Aldo's biggest test thus far. I think Aldo wins but you never know with Edgar...

Damn this is going to be a great event. but what the hell, they had such a great occasion to make a kick ass poster ad they really dropped the ball on this one. The coloring is just blehh, and not really appealing to the eye. Damn and I considered getting this one if it was great looking.

Benavidez and McCall could easily be the best fight on this card and it's just chilling at the very bottom of the card. Surely that will be corrected.

@jm almost no one knows Bigfoot by his real name which is probably why they didn't use it. Plus, there are so many Silvas it would be confusing.

A fight on UFC 156 was offered to me but unfortunately I am wrestling an intense fever right now. Very sad about it, perfect fight for me!



With all due respect @PeraltaMMA if the @ufc would give us a later date, it would be my honor to crush you! @seanshelby

Not gonna lie.

This is the best card the UFC has put on exciting match ups potential in a long ass time. I honestly don't think I've ever been as hyped for a card as this one. Seriously the lowest fight on the main card are 2 Top 5 flyweights in McCall/JoeB that pretty much certify excitement.

Fitch/Maia and Aldo/Edgar are in my mind 2 fantasy match ups, I've been pining to see for a long time.

Top to bottom, i give this card a 8.5 just on the match ups. If it lives up to it once the fights starts. This will be the best card that didnt happen in 2012 lol

On paper definitely should be. This is one of the most stacked main cards from top to bottom. 8 of the 10 fighters have fought in a major championship fight.
