I cannot wait for this one!! If there were a higher profile fight on the main card instead of Herman/Starks, this might take card of the year. I cant wait to watch it in 3D on the big screen.

Tick Tock  baby its almost time. @Kallous I have to agree and disagree yes it could end up card of the year but I don't think Herman/Starks is going to hurt this card at all, Ed Herman has some pretty exciting finishes in his career. Hey look at that I'm tied for first... but then again so is everybody else.

I don't think he's ****y at all. He and Carlos have mutual respect. If you watched Primetime your opinion on Nick Diaz would've changed
