On paper this card is sick and to make it better two of my favorite fighters are on here(Rampage and Congo).

Really hoping Henderson beats Edgar, and I definitely think it's possible. Hendo has consistently been one of the more underrated fighters in all of MMA.

I've always liked Shields, also. Hope he gets back on track this weekend.

Of course Rampage is one of my all time favorites. I expect him to destroy Bader.

[VOLtage]

I'm calling:
Henderson upsets Edgar
Rampage wins a close one. I want to say he destroys Bader but I think by this point people know Rampage just wants to use his stand-up game.
Kongo once again beats someone that only devoted MMA fans know about.
Shields, he needs a win.
Okami
Bart P.
Pettis by submission.

[StoVol]

Pettis Lauzon may be the best fight outside the main

I haven't been following MMA like I used to, but that card looks weak to me.

Agreed. Are the prelims on FX?

[Blake25p]

Rampage weighed in at 211, gotta wonder if he got injured in camp.


Edit:Rampage said he got hurt during camp(didn't say what) said he's 100% now, also said this is the most weight he's ever had to cut, and still missed by 6lbs. I thought Page was gonna smash Bader idk now.

Rampage, Shields, and Okami all had recent title shots and lost. I just don't see those guys getting another shot soon.

I watch them all & there's usually a couple good surprise matches.

Gonna get wizasted for this shiz. Gonna watch the slam dunk competition in between since Paul George of the Pacers is in it. Gonna be a fun night with UFC and Pacers being repped.

Great first prelim fight to start the night.

[TOP]

That was an amazing knockout. Kicked him in the head and punched him like four punches on the ground. Isane

[TOP]

Another amazing knockout. That was so badass.

Joe Rogan is freaking out about how it's the greatest comeback he has ever seen.

Two out of three fights have been awesome so far.
