It may not be the UFC 137 you were expecting, but it's still UFC 137, dammit!

The next installment of the popular Ultimate Fighting Challenge comes to us live tonight from fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada, with a tantalizing main event between Nick Diaz and BJ Penn.

Things are scheduled to kick off first at 6:15pm eastern time (final time still unknown) for 4 prelims on Facebook.com/UFC.  Then at 8:00 eastern time you can catch a pair of excellent fights on Spike TV. Finally at 9:00pm eastern time, plunk down your hard earned dollars to watch the Pay Per View main card.

Hioki needs to be more aggressive on the ground and in general, he looked more tentative tonight than normal. Jitters maybe?

Hioki won the first 2 rounds, so the decision is correct according to me.  Luke Thomas, Jordan Breen agree.

However, I'm definitely off the Hioki bandwagon. He's not going far in the UFC.  First thing he needs to do is leave Japan and train full time in the U.S. if he wants to have any chance of being properly prepared for this style of fighting.

I had the first and third for roop, with hioki taking the second without a doubt. the first was the closest i think.

So after Tyson lost.. I smashed a glass off a wall and cut my arm and it was bleeding so I missed Cerrone/Siver (thank god, I heard it) .. So yeah this is officially one of the worst days of my life.. Both of my favourite soccer teams lose at home. My favourite fighter gets knocked out in the first round and I am 2-5 in my picks, Yeah.. Life's a *****.

I don't see how Hioki took the 1st. Roop was running him standing up until 1:00 left and then Hioki got a single takedown... Bummed that I picked Roop for the upset and he gets taken haha
