I really thought Aaron Riley would be better than he has become.  I remember his fight against Robbie Lawler in the UFC, and thought that both of those guys looked awesome!  I still think that was one of the best fights I've seen in the octagon.  Riley is just an average gate keeper now, but back then he was such an experienced young guy in the sport.

As far as the card is concerned, it looks like there are a bunch of potential FOTN candidates.  Looking forward to this one for sure.

agreed, i thought aaron riley would be where jim miller is now...very talented workman in octagon...but, i missed that one...think the title fight wont be much of a contest, honestly...most excited for diaz vs gomi and mark hunt

I really like the Diaz fight too but I think the main event should be good, I dont think Jones will be able to dominate Rampage like he did shogun

If it stays standing, Hunt will get him... no doubt in my mind anyway.

I think Diaz is going to sub Gomi and I think the Hughes/Sanchez fight goes the distance.

Rampage is always a character.  How did they compare as far as size in person @Soccer?

Jones was a lot longer and leaner and Rampage was quite a bit thicker in the chest and shoulders

Dana was asked about filling the card out and he said he doesn't know yet...That surprises me since fight cmps would be starting soon for these fights...especially since we're at altitude here...Rampage said he's spending his entire camp in Denver and bringing Wolfslair here with him
