I know I am. 

Feels like it's been a while since we've had a truly stacked PPV. The last truly great PPV event was 206 in Toronto, 5 months ago. 

I think it's unlikely this one goes much past 300k buys on PPV (would be a big win if it broke 400k,) but it's a hardcore fan's delight.

I would be more excited if JDS wasn't getting a title shot after getting one win after a loss, but C'est la vie.

@Hornet, I for one have zero interest in who holds the 265 belt, so I could care less how many he won before getting the shot, but solid point.

It's a good fight, probably the best one you could make at heavyweight (barring maybe sea level Cain vs. Miocic, but that's probably never gonna happen because Cain's bones and joints are made of candy floss).

The HWY division is thin so this is the best fight we could get. I wish they would have  265 TUF to get more talent. The last one was at TUF 10.
