@wake The same thing when I was at the Silva/Sonnen II weigh ins, it's one of those things you never really think about it until 100 screaming Brazilians are 10 rows above you.  Have fun!!!

I don't care about points at all on this card, I picked everyone who I want to win.  There are so many of my favorites on here, Siyar, Manny, Leben, Poirier, and Silva.  So pumped for this card!!
