Yeah me too, great main event, and a nice undercard, and its just wild that it will be on Fox primetime.

Had to go Velasquez as he's been finishing fights lately, but this is a really tough call. Be interested to see how the poll shapes up

 

[Lung.Butter]

I think it will be really close, although im not sure if Cain is 100% going into the fight.

Gonna have to hunt down a high quality steam for this.

 

[b00m]

Yeah bro I agree it's going to be a killer fight
Velasquez is down right mean as frack and a finisher too but my gut is telling me Dos Santos FTW
The Alex Caceres vs. Cole Escovedo fight is one I want to see also, see how the smiling bruce leeroy fairs in the cage
We are getting it here down under on free to air TV on sunday morning hehehe I can use the bandwidth for something else

 

[Ramius]

Hard to pick, but I'll go with Santos

Can't wait

 

[Shcrews]

its gonna be epic

i'm going with Junior Dos Santos , i think he has the best boxing and can neutralize Cain's wrestling

 

[krunchbubble]

dont have a pick, there both really good, will be an epic fight!

want Guida to win, but Hendersen may mow right through him, sucks this fight wont be on Fox.....

This is Saturday night, correct?
Impossible to pick the heavyweights. Could be a short fight. Watched the preview last week, and was pretty impressed by Junior's workout and agility for such a big man. He was fooling around and did one of those jumping snap kicks where you don't know what foot's coming, and he did it so easily and fluidly, I was amazed. Should be a great fight.

I dig it.
I am excited about this fight too.
Could be a short one.
Impossible to pick.
Flip a coin.
Both great fighters, but with the kind of power those guys have, it's going to be a short night.
Watching them train was pretty impressive.

Great fight between two guys in the prime of their careers. It'll be interesting to see how Fox will broadcast the event live on TV. I wonder if it will be much different than how the PPV's look?

Supposedly going to be more of a primer or educational show for the average joe or casual UFC watcher - kinda take all these millions of people who have never been exposed and bring them up to speed, then hopefully show them a killer fight so they will be hooked for life.

I imagine we'll get a taste of the more standard (new) format from the undercard on FoxSports.com though. Say goodbye to the gladiator intro from what I've read.

 

[Pinkladyeater]

It would be nice to see a different intro; they have been doing that gladiator one for years now.

Yeah I agree. Though I must say, as much as I originally hated the cheesy gladiator/nu-metal intro, its kinda fits like an old glove now and I've been a bit nostalgic about it since learning its gonna go away.

Fox will prolly replace it with fighting robots and Eminem, hehe.

Great article from the NY Times about this event and what it means for the UFC.

 

[Pinkladyeater]

The UFC is going to have to get more fighters, they are putting on a fight card every couple of weeks now.

mr bongjangles- are the 4;45 prelims available as well on that stream firstrowsports? or is that a pay only through foxsports?

The prelims will probably not be on the firstrowsports stream, but, they are free on facebook and foxsports.com
