Leites deserves a bigger fight than Trevor Smith.

^^^Agreed. Leites has made strides in his striking. Don't like seeing him wasted like this. Never thought I'd say that after UFC 97.

Another interesting tidbit, Omer, though fighting out of Germany, was born in Iraq, so we've got ourselves a bit of USA vs. Iraq action ... Desert Storm III :)

I mean he's Iraqi like Mousasi is Iranian but still ...

Bit of a stretch, yoss. 

But I'm excited to see Alers.

lol! Yeah, I was kinda kidding, my dumbass way to point out we have a first Iraqi in the UFC :)

Btw, since we're stretching ****, I wonder who they replace Big Nog with when he pulls out with an injury ... I'm hoping Butterbean finally gets his shot ;)

@rappin Really?  Honestly the main event is the only fight that I'm not interested in.  All of the others I'm really looking forward to.

This is an awesome free card. Clearly the UFC is fond of Abu Dhabi if their brining them a card like this for a Fight Night event. Fight Night 40 is shaping up to be a decent free card as well.

its not so much that they are fond of Abu Dhabi but their 10% share holders live in Abu Dhabi.
