If you are on the fence about ordering this one than I don't know what to tell you besides that you probably aren't a true fight fan. Jose Aldo vs Frankie Edgar is a super fight that fans have wanted for the last 2 years. The guy that should be UFC lightweight champion still and should be ranked #1 or #2 in the world at 155lbs is dropping to his natural weight class of 145 to fight who most people consider to be in the top 5 for pound for pound rankings and the number one featherweight in the world in Jose Aldo. Frankie Edgar is on a streak of 4 incredible fights in a row (2 vs Maynard and 2 vs Henderson).

I would pay $45 to see this fight and this fight only and we have 4 solid fights to go along with it as well.

Can't wait.

Agree. I have ordered every PPV for the last 3 years, and this one might be a top 3 card. The PPV portion is STACKED. Can't wait to see Overrem's return. The Evans fight has added importance, with rumors of him being offered a fight with Anderson, if he wins tomorrow.

Dustin Kimura ??? Really? Surprised he isn't fighting Danny Darce.

PPV had some ups and downs. The flyweight fight was pretty solid. The Fitch/Maia fight was brutal. Big Foots knockout of Overeem was great. Kind of shows you how shitty Lesner was. Dude his size should have been a way better striker and been able to take a shot. The Evans fight was embarassing. For a guy that knew he would fight the Greatest with a win, he should be ashamed of himself. The main event was great. I had Aldo winning, but could see it going to Edgar. The 2 judges that had 49-46 are crazy. I'm sure White will stick up for his boy during the presser.

First fight was OK...Still not a fan of the midgets fighting.
Maia vs Fitch was ironic because Maia did to Fitch was Fitch has done to every single opponent. And Fitch was complaining at the end of the fight.
Silva vs Steroid boy as outstanding and almost worth the cost of the PPV alone. LOVED IT. That being said, no idea what's next for Cain.
Nog vs Evans....yeah ok
I had rounds 3,4,5 going to Edgar. Doesn't seem like we'll see another rematch though which is a shame. Don't know how a judge can say 49-46 though. Edgar clearly won 4 and 5

Decent PPV,but not nearly as good as expected.

Overeem getting knocked out was a thing of beauty. No clue why he was standing there in front of him with his hands down. Stupid. Nice work by Big foot showing him just how stupid.

Aldo was disappointing IMO. After the first couple of rounds he put it on cruise control and just hung on. Not a smart thing to do against a guy with the cardio of Frankie. He is lucky Frankie didn't catch him and take the belt.
