Should be a good fight! Will test marcus chin
can anyone say slugfest….sweeet. GJ Joe Silva
yeah marcus got his wish. it will be a very good fight!
hell yeah this is guna be a war, i hope this is on the main card, i cant call a winner. i hope the winner gets a top 4 WW tho
Looks a great card and will be worth the trip this shaping up nicely
I still think the UFC should come back to Birmingham on but a better show on than UFC 89 Leben vs Bisping was an insult of a main event.
yay, im there. I cant help but feeling that this will be the highlight of the night.
YES!!!!! I CANT WAIT!!!!! FIGHT OF THE YEAR!!!!
this sounds like a kickass fight but yet again, these guys are fighting in the UK. just seems like eventually they’d mix it up a little so people don’t get bored
Lytle has always struggled with top talent in the WW. So this will determine weather Davis is ready for the big time. His fight with Swick was too lackluster and I blame Swick (what happened to that guy?). He really shines with aggressive fighters, so this should be great against the upper echelon gatekeeper.
