I wish it was 135 but by far in my opinion 136 is. Looking at that card speaks for itself. 2 title fights I love it!!!!!

To bad BJ is fighting in Vegas after he said he never would again after GSP greased up and the commission decided that GSP is allowed to cheat...Condit/Penn in Denver would have been epic (for me!!!)

They should move Condit vs Penn to 138 as our main event!

To answer the exact question, I think 136 has more great fights than 137.

136 has 6 fights I'm totally stoked for:
- Edgar/Maynard
- Florian/Aldo
- Sonnen/Stann
- Maia/Santiago (I think the style matchup will be amazing)
- Guillard/Lauzon
- Pettis/Stephens

137 has 4:
- GSP/Diaz
- Condit/Penn
- Kongo/Mitrione
- Hioki/Roop

(sorry, not putting Nelson/Filipovic on there. Mirko should be retired and it makes me almost sick to see him still in there getting knocked out. and I'm getting tired of Nelson.)

UFC 135 to me has amazing fights, but not a lot of fights that mean much in terms of division standings....and is still missing a co-main event

I really like the fight cause Sachez is always exciting, but the fight means nothing...Unless Sanchez losses then it drops him from possibly ever getting a shot at the WW strap, but as a co-main its not that great

i think sanchez is going to put a hurt on hughes. sanchez just keeps coming at you no matter the circumstances. has sanchez ever been ko'd? he made it thru the hathaway fight right? he took a huge knee in that fight that would have knocked out just about anybody else.

Let's see last time Diego fought he looked really fat and last time Hughes fought he got KO'd in 21 seconds. Matt Hughes is an mma legend but he can't take a punch anymore. Like @soccer said this fight really means nothing and considering all those things to have it as a co main event sucks!!!!

I think 137 is going to be more entertaining than 136. Im interested to see Mitrione fight Kongo. I want to see how he does against better competition.

that will be a great fight. i'm counting on mitrione finishing what barry started. i see mitrione hitting kongo with a strike "flush" on the chin and then pouncing on him for the tko victory.

@P4PGoat I couldnt agree more. Im not interested in Diego v Hughes at all and having such a lack luster fight as the co main is dumb.

I think 135 will have more finishes then decisions...the fights on the card are all great style match-ups and Travis Browne is gonna win a 2nd straight KoTN
