I like this card, no title fights but a good card none the less. I’m really looking forward to all the fights.
Dana White must have a thing for cheesesteaks, because thats a great card for Philadelphia…
Hey guys, I know it’s completely off topic but I just wanted to show you this little piece that Cole Miller wrote on judging in MMA, he directed people to it via facebook today. Sorry that it’s off topic I just didn’t know how to share this with you guys because there’s no way to start a thread or anything like that. I found it interesting.

So is this main event a 5 rounder?
I think Evans is going to take it. It’s to much to soon for Davis IMO.
Most likely.
The only ways Davis wins this is either by Serra effect or if Evans comes to the cage way less than 100%…
Rashad is fighting Evans at exactly the right time for Rashad – sooner rather than later.
While I think Rashad will take this fight (via decision), if the same fight were fought in 18 months time, I wouldn’t be so sure of the result.
Big future for Phil Davis ahead.

@ jawbreaker this is only 3 rounds as the 2 main event fighters have already signed 3 round bout agreements
WRONG!!!!
UFC 133 is August 6th in Philadelphia! NOT August 27th! August 27th, they will be thousands of miles away in Rio.
I love you guys, but you should change the headline before people ‘panic’ like I did! :)
Wondering where the Edgar-Maynard3 fight will end up. Seems that the quick date adjustment to Philly no longer applies.
There is not a lot of talk about where it will land and other cards seem to have filled up with the next likely date not until October 8 in Houston – so the LW belt will not be contested for 10 months and then top challenger wont likely get another shot for another 7-8 months from now.
Does anyone else think it is strange that they don’t have Chad Mendes fighting on the main-card. Before he took this fight he was going to be the number 1 featherweight contender, and I would assume if he wins he will still be next in line for a title shot after Florian. I would have thought that fight would have been in place of the Rivera-Sakara fight seeing as both of those guys just lost in pretty dominate fashion. But I do think the Rivera-Sakara fight is going to be a really good fight.
