Is everyone as excited for this weekends UFC card as i am? I think this thing has the potential to be one of the best cards ever from top to bottom. Winner vs Njokuani - of course it's going to have fireworks! Bowels vs Mizugaki - I'm shocked this fight isn't even getting on the prelims with Bowels on the cusp of another title shot. Sotiropolous vs Dos Anjos is a grapplers dream Guillard vs Roller - Melvin always brings fireworks and i think Roller is going to bang with him after his most recent KO. Siver vs Wiman - quiet but very entertaining fight with both guys on a role. Ortiz vs Bader - could be a snoozer IMO, but it's always fun to hear Tito's excuse after a hard fought loss. Silva vs Leben - I think both fighers will try to employ a strategy before becoming impatient and swinging until someone's unconscious Condit vs Kim - could be for the #1 contendership given the recent Marquardt debacle and Story losing. And of course the bitter Cruz/Faber 2 rematch. I'm so stoked that these BW fighters are getting the chance to headline and show America how entertaining these nonstop little guys really are. I can't wait for Saturday night!

I'm really excited about this card. Especially the Cruz vs Faber. The little guys always put on a show.I think you're right about Ortiz vs Bader, it will most likely go to decision, with Tito losing.

I'm going out on a limb here though, this time he wont' have a cracked skull or neck surgery awaiting, i think the loss fallls on his knee injury that needed reconstruction half way though camp. LOL

Agree. This card has the potential to be epic and even outdo last night's free card.d

Ive been looking to this event more than any other this year. then again, the only other event that will top my excitement is ufc 138, for obvious reasons. Im gonna be glad to see Brian Bowles defeat Mizugaki and hope fully get a title shot.

I hate to be that one ********** who disagrees with everyone, but I can't get excited for this card. Mainly because the Ortiz/Bader fight and the main event. I just don't want to see either of those fights at all. Wandy/Leben and Condit/Kim could be awesome though. Siver/Wiman will likely be a solid fight.

Sot/DosAnjos and the Guillard fight are too one sided in my opinion
Bowles/Benavidez is a very good fight

The rest of the fights don't entice me what so ever. I'll watch the card, and it could be great, but I'm less excited for it than most other cards.

This is a big card on paper. The outcome of the card is really centered around the Wand Leben fight. If that fight doesn't deliver people will flip.

Only one prediction I am making. Somehow Tito is going to make this a memorable card.

@mino just out of curiosity why don't you want to see Cruz/Faber?
personally I'm pretty excited for the card but then Condit, Bowles and Cruz are some of my favorites

Hell Yes!

I get a woody just thinking about this fight.  I really want to see what Cruz can do against Faber this time around.  Is this kid for real?  I also like Brian Bowles and would like to see him get back into the title mix or get shoved aside if he proves unworthy.  I'm wondering how Condit stacks up against a tough grappler like Kim.  I figure Melvin
Guillard will destroy Shane Roller bringing him up a knotch in the stacked LW division.  Wanderlei vs Leben:  somebody is getting knocked out there and I think it will be Silva.  The other fights should be good as well.  Damn right I'm looking forward to this.

im a little hesitant about this card...i will explain myself thusly

1. main event between Cruz (guy who moves around ALOT and reminds me of gsp with his lack of concern to finish) and Faber (a shorter fighter with equal reach who is just gonna try and chase cruz)...im hoping (and predicting btw) that faber wins via 2nd rd tko...however, i think this fight is a borderline snoozer with judges determining winner..
2. I love condit....i remember how he got dominated for 2+ rounds by rory macdonald and got a little lucky imo with the late ref stoppage...and he's facing the judo equalivant in DYK..being a nate diaz fan, i've seen first hand this guy total lack of finishing...lay n pray is impossible to defend with a guy THIS strong..
3. bader vs ortiz.............really.........REALLY?? how does bader go from on the verge of title shot to..TITO!?! really?

sorry to be a downer...and i'm prolly just tryna make it seem less awesome because im unable to order it because of "prior commitments"...but still.....

I think Faber will force Cruz into an exciting fight.

I do see DHK winning by decision, but I don't think I've ever seen a boring Condit fight and I think he'll make it competitive, and if he pulls out a late finish it's probably gonna be awesome.

I think Bader/Ortiz will be a really close decision actually, but I do think it will be the snoozer of the night.

I think 132 is gonna be pretty damn good overall. I feel more excited to see stun gun vs Condit and Bader vs Ortiz then I do Faber vs Cruz. Not sure why. I think Faber will win a rather uneventful fight. Hope I'm wrong about the uneventful part.

I think the Bader/Ortiz fight will go exactly the way ALL of us already imagine. Neither one of them are going to pull a rabbit out of their hat and surprise us.
Poor(at best) stand-up from both of them, many failed TD attempts, lots of WnS and very little action with Bader winning a close UD or even a split. Followed by Tito saying he has no excuses, but has been around since 96, yadda yadda yadda, and deserves another shot.
I hope I'm wrong, but this is the "run to the bathroom, get another beer or go flip the steaks on the grill" fight of the night.
