Really hoping Lawler gets another nice finish.

Lawlor's got beastly power, but Saffiedine is too technical for him IMO. Saffiedine moves into the top 5 with a decision win here.

I don't think a win over Lawlor puts you in the top 5 ... there will still be at least 6-7 UFC welterweights ranked above him IMO.

I do agree though that Tarec is probably going to chop him down for 15 minutes.

If Lorenz Larkin could do it, Saffiedine can.

I'm rooting for Lawler, but Tarec will probably pick him apart and win a decision.

Is Lawler winning an upset??? I think he KO's Tarec similar to what he did with Koschek

I wonder who Maia will get now. I remember him campaigning strongly to get Tarec.

Maia vs. Kampmann or Kos maybe? Kampmann has been calling out Diaz so I would rather see that.

Awesome fight. I don't think Lawler pulls off another upset though.

Would love to see Lawler win and go on a bit of a streak.

According to the UFC's official rankings (which aren't 100% accurate IMO) the only 4 people ranked higher than Maia not named GSP are:
1.Johny Hendricks
2.Carlos Condit
3.Rory MacDonald
4.Jake Ellenberger

The only one not scheduled to fight (as far as I know) is the Natural Born Killer himself.

Condit vs Maia

Make it happen!
