Tomorrow night, who you got? I can't decide if I should root for Ronda or hope she loses. They have already lost their biggest potential fight, with Cyborg moving on. I really don't see much happening here.

Henderson/Machida I see going either way. I see one of them getting knocked out. Henderson has been rocked the last few fights, and I can see Machida getting hurt by Hendo.

With White saying more cuts are to come, I think Koscheck might be in need of a win. He kind of sounded like Faber needed a big effort also.

I like Koscheck's style and Faber is just OK to me so I hope neither one of them gets cut. I don't believer that either of them would be cut with a loss anyways. Kos and Faber aren't losing anyways.


My picks

Rousey
Machida
Faber
Kos

Rousey looks unstoppable. She has the kind of personality where she could wind up being the face of the UFC if she keeps winning

Hendo is one of my all time favs but for some reason i think he'll be stopped by strikes for the 1st time. Hendo is a wild brawler and gasses out. Machida is calculated and serious ko power.

I think Kos is safe from getting fired. He has stepped up so many times on short notice and has put on good fights and HL KOs. He can also heel it up with the best of them

Bad stoppage - Kos looked to still be defending himself.

I like Court McGee alot. Good fighter and humble and really enjoys being there. I hope he keeps progressing.

Kos fight stoppage was way to early.

+1. He was very impressive tonight.

Gotta give the dude he fought some props though, he took a ton of shots and hung in there.

Definitely. He even made a nice come back in second round.

I can't believe the main event is 2 women.

Hope it is good.

Just turned the sound on and Joe Rogan already makes me want to puke. What a huge moment of liberation in the history of sports!

Meh, ok not too bad. But no way did that deserve to be the main event.

Bring on GSP and Diaz!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eh, Rousey has the biggest star potential of anyone right now. I mean it's weird she's hyped as an inspirational face so much when her personality screams heel, but she's one of the few newcomers who at least generates needed buzz for the company. And I mean I find it hard to square questioning whether someone is "deserving" of main event status while simultaneously being excited for a fight involving Nick Diaz.

Other than being a woman what exactly has she done to be given the main event?

I still think they should have had this fight on Fox. I understand the dollars that would have been missed by airing her first fight on Fox but I think that Rhonda could have been an even bigger PPV star if people saw her on free TV first.

About what I expected in the main event. Nothing special, but the media and White will make it up to be the biggest thing ever. I still don't see the women's divison being much outside of Ronda. Henderson/Machida was a huge disappointment. Machida was fighting like a pussy. Not sure I want to see Machida/Jones 2.

I typically never watch UFC but happened to be out at Tilted Kilt with a buddy and it was on. I've seen Hendo fight before and thought he had won the fight. Machida was very tentative and Hendo kept having to work to get inside. If he had gotten inside, I think it would have been a different fight.

I thought Faber was the most impressive fighter of the night. I don't think he was fighting a punching bad so that made it more impressive.

The woman's fight was actually interesting especially when Carmouche almost locked in the rear choke. Rousey will be better if they bill her as a bad ass than a pretty face. She looked mean.
