This card was actually pretty solid for a free one, until Munoz got hurt which threw shit into a tailspin. With him out, Bisping will now face off against Chael Sonnen, and Demian Maia will now fight Chris Weidman. I really wanted to see Bisping get KO'd by Munoz, however now I have to cheer for Bisping which makes this card shitty to me. As much as I hate Bisping, amazingly enough I hate Sonnen more. He's an entertaining guy, but all the bullshit surrounding his steroid use puts a damper on everything. Fucking cheaters, they can all go to hell. Odds aren't available on any fight other than the main event right now, so time to discuss that one!  Davis vs. Evans - Match OddsI honestly think that Rashad has value here even at 1.64. I projected him at 1.45 or slightly less. Davis is an animal for sure, but he's as raw as they come and lacks the skill that Rashad possesses in every facet of the fight game. Davis has the physical tools to be successful... but he isn't ready yet. His striking leaves a lot to be desired and I think Rashad will definitely take advantage of this and try to keep the fight standing for at least the first 2-3 rounds. After that, he'll wear Davis out, take him down and ground and pound him for a TKO in the 4th round. They are both excellent wrestlers, but again, I feel Rashad has the edge here in addition to the striking game. Don't hesitate to put $$$ on Rashad at those odds, get them before they drop. If they go up, all the better! I'll have more insight posted as the fight odds start coming out. Good luck and please share your thoughts!

Though Rashad has been the champion before, he's never gone into the championship rounds in any fight, longest fights being 3 rounders. Same goes for Davis. I think Rashad is just too skilled for Davis. I'm just hoping its a good fight LOL!

How's Evans going to cope after such a long layoff? Would rather see an Evans v Jones grudge match and let Davis mature a little bit longer, so will be cheering for Evans Really really really want to see a Sonnen v Silva rematch too, so get outa the way Count!

30 - 27.... no fucking way! What fight was that clown watching? I wanted Sonnen to win but thought he was 2 rounds down coming into that final round Bisping very unlucky I feel. Evans dominated Mr Wonderful, a bit of rust on Sugar so hopefully he shakes that off before his fight with Bones. Really want to see someone shut that arrogant dude up, Evans would be the perfect guy to do it too

These guys used to train together, anyone know how they used to go sparring? If I remember right, when Tito was champ and used to sparr with Iceman, Liddell would smash him at training and Tito didnt want to fight him in cage as a result Would be awesome if Evans used to do the same thing to Jones
