I like Gil. We finally get to see how good he really is. It's going to be tough for him to win but I hope he pulls it off.

This is the 3rd mega fight of the year imo.

What were the 1st two? JDS vs Cain 2? GSP vs...Condit? Diaz? Barao vs Mayday? What was it in your opinion? Silva vs Stann was epic.

Other two were Edgar vs Aldo and Barao vs McDonald in 2013 thus far, before the fight anyways.

Fair enough. Aldo vs Edgar slipped my mind for some reason. I'm excited to see Gil's UFC debut. I just hope he doesn't show rust like I think he might. I think it would be big for him to beat Bendo. Would definitely help the perception of non-UFC Champions IMO.

Maybe but I doubt it. Modern UFC, not MMA, fan would probably say it's because LW is super weak.

Probably right. How do you think this fight plays out?

Had my card order for the month all mixed up. I thought Sonnen-Bones was this Saturday for some reason. This is definitely the card of the month though. Tough picks from top to bottom

I'm really confident in all three of those fights so not really excited for that card this weekend. I'll be more interested in watching Uriah Hall than the other one

Can't wait for this card even though I probably think I'll have to witness Lord Fransico Mir III's pizza face again.

Starting to get a little bummed that I didn't get tickets for this. It looks like a good card.

It might be a Saturday morning decision. I have plans now but this card is so heavy top to bottom.....

Yeah these days it's hard to buy tickets too far in advance considering all the injuries we have seen just destroy cards. But this card has held up very well. It's going to be a long time before we see a Champion vs Champion fight that doesn't include an Interim belt. History. I could see down the road eventually an Invicta or Bellator Champion getting that billing...maybe.

Card is no doubt stacked.
My fight rank for the card based on quality of matchup, division magnitude and interest
1 Henderson vs. Melendez - IMO the 3rd true MMA superfight of this year. 2 Diaz vs. Thomson 3 Masvidal vs. Means 4 Brown vs. Mein 5 Njokuani vs. Bowling 6 Mir vs. Cormier 7 Carmont vs. Larkin 8 Jury vs. Nijem 9 tie Mendes vs. Elkins 9 tie Benavidez vs. Uyenoyama 11 Dillashaw vs. Viana 12 Starks vs. Romero
