It's such a let down that Alves isn't on it though... that made it a triple main event card with 2 great spike fights. :x

That is true, Hope Alves has full recovery and comes back, he is an awsome fighter and well respected.

I am so pumped for this card. I think it's because there are 2 title fights. Well 1 and a half. If my memory serves me right this is only the third UFC title fight since 101 in August, early August. Now we are gonna have 5 (4 & 1/2) title fights in like 5 or 6 weeks.

Maybe it means we'll get to see Alves in Vancouver (a bit of wishful thinking, but it could happen).

I agree about the Fitch/Alves being a let down, because that could easily be a co-main event and that woulda been a major let down. Could be just as exciting.
I think Mir is gonna Take Carwin out.
GSP will win, but will be cheering for the underdog.

GSP - Wins by first or second rnd TKO.
Mir - wins by KO second rnd.
Fitch - wins by a long hard fought decision, like usual.

Gotta agree with this assessment. I think people are going to be surprised by Mir's standup against Carwin. I also like the Fitch/Saunders fight more than Fitch/Alves for entertainment value alone. I know Fitch/Alves was significant as far as rankings go but Fitch/Saunders is a good matchup on paper. We will see, I guess!!

I think GSP may be in for a shock like the rest of the MMA world Dan Hardy is the real deal And GSP is right to believe hes the most dangerous opponent hes faced,Because when you got nothing to lose like Hardy does then that makes him even more dangerous also the fact the has confidence in his own ability
i hope and i also do believe Dan Hardy will win,Would love to see him knock GSP out but we will see,Will be a gr8 night anyways

It might just be pre-fight jitters, but i'm afraid my favorite fighter (Mir) is getting KO'd tonight. Viciously.

Im excited about Mir-Carwin because GSP-Hardy will be too one sided.

Headed to the Movie Theater to watch, just bought my ticket.
I'll let you know if it was worth the $20.
Enjoy the fights.
WAR MIR!!! :twisted:
