Pretty solid card this weekend. I see the PPV portion will be 7 fights and then the Prelims will be another 3. With no PPV in March, this is a must order.

Honestly the main event is being underlooked because of the fact that these are lightweights fighting, but in all honestly it's one of the best matchups of the year(booked so far at least). Ill buy every PPV that Edgar headlines as his fights are never boring and I love watching Benson Henderson fight as this dude is so well rounded it's sick. That being said I'm picking Edgar to win the fight but I wouldn't be shocked to see Henderson win the fight in a war.

Rampage has made it pretty well known that he is going to be looking for KO of Bader to impress the fans in Japan. I would think that Bader would try and take Rampage down and use his wrestling to prevent the KO from Rampage.

Hope to be able to watch this but I'm not sure as I have a friends birthday party that night.

I'm rooting for Henderson. Enjoyed his fights in the WEC, and so far he hasn't disappointed in the UFC. Edgar puts on good fights, but I think Henderson will be able to finish, unlike Maynard. Card has lots of decent names on it. Also looking forward to the Pettis/Lauzon fight.

I agree about Edgar/Henderson. If both guys bring their A game this will be an all out action packed war. Love watching both guys fight

Rampage 6lbs over. He claims that he was injured and it cost him in his cut. Also said that he cut 21 lbs in the last day, but just couldn't do the last 6.

As long as you are being honest and not lying to us.

Greatest comeback of all time?

I don't know, but that was awesome.

Rogan going nuts. Great comeback, but not the greatest.

Bader looked REAL good. Not sure how he did not injure his arm on that slam, that looked nasty.

I dont think any comeback willtop Silva over Sonnen

Wow that Henderson/Edgar fight was great. Ben really took it to Franky

To Joe Rogan's credit he did comeback and say that he was probably a tad overboard saying that was the greatest comeback in UFC history. Still can't believe he knocked out Okami.
Jake Shields needs to spend the next year learning how to box. The guy always looks awkward as all hell throwing punches/kicks.
I'm not sure if Pettis really deserves the next title shot over guys like Nate Diaz or Jim Miller. I understand timing would be an issue for Henderson to have to wait for the Diaz/Miller winner but Pettis just KO'd Lauzon who isn't a top 10 guy in the LW division.
I know I'm probably in the minority on this one but Rampage just needs to go away for a bit. Unless Rampage KO's a guy he is going to lose by dec almost every time. He is too one dimensional now.

Bader could fight Gustafsson if he gets past Little Nog in April.

Not happy that the UFC won't be back on PPV now until late April but my cable bill could use a little relief. 3 UFC PPV's ordered within a 2 month span is kind of pricey.

Agree with Silva being the best comeback of all time. Card was very entertaining. Shields is awful. It's hard to believe he was fighting for the title recently. His striking looks like it couldn't hurt a little kid. I think Edgar is crazy if he thinks he won that fight. He was dominated the whole fight. He can cry about the rematch, but I don't see a need for it right away. I would give the winner of Miller/Diaz the shot before Pettis.

I will agree on Rampage taking a break, and I wouldn't be surpised if that was his last fight.

Probably will never get another title shot, now lost 2 in a row.

He did say he had a bad leg so couldn't work out much, so the reason for the weight issues.
