Gonna be good to see Bowles back in the cage. Hopefully he can go on a tear. There are some good match ups for him in the UFC Bantamweight Division. Maybe he'll make it back to a fight with Cruz where hopefully he doesn't lose because of a broken hand.

I'm stoked because this will be my first live UFC event....its about time they show the Bluegrass State some love. I think once they see the massive following MMA has here they'll come back for a big PPV event hopefully in the future.

Love to see Munoz, Palhares, and Kampmann back in action again.
Palhares by leglock, kneebar, footlock in the 1st. :lol:

Well, I'm going to this one too. I thought after "leaving las vegas" to move to KY I wouldn't be able to go to events often at all but boom here one is. On the flip from all of you, though, I think this card is really lacking a main-card caliber fight. Sanchez-Kampman is cool, the rest are okay I guess. I guess it's what I'd expect from a free event on VS. But you guys seem really pumped about it. So good. Hope you're right...

I think that after years and years i've finally learned that cards without big names turn out great a lot of the time.
Most of the reason someone like myself is pumped about this card is that being a WEC die hard, there are a ton of WEC fighters/fights on this card. Castillo, Page, Bowles, Roller, Koch, Swanson, Mizugaki, Rivera. Add to that Sanchez/Kampmann, Diabate/Cantwell, and it's enough to get me excited for the card.
Dollaway/Munoz could turn out good, Sakara/Natal is a hit or miss fight, and for sure there are some throw away fights, it's not bad.
The last couple Versus' didn't really turn out as good overall as they could have been, but looked intense on paper. So i got faith this will be the opposite.

Yeah you don't have to worry too much about people fighting to protect their ranking within the division. I am super excited about the diego fight, after thinking Thaigo would run the table. I hope Diego can come out and steamroll Kamp like he did to Paulo. Kampman lost to a wrestler that is content with holding a fighter down. But can he survive 3 rounds of getting taken down and mauled and getting up and mauled again. Diegos top game is agressive and he's not afraid to let you get back up or give you room as long as he can strike. Should be fun.

Pretty evenly matched main event. And other than when he fought Kos, Diego always puts on an entertaining fight.

Yeah, but Shields is also a much better wrestler than Sanchez, and Kampmann was able to sprawl/get back up still. I got Kampmann winning via decision (I'll say 29-28, with Diego taking the first via aggression) by using a good sprawl and his technical muay thai/kickboxing to keep Sanchez at range. Especially if he's able to land a good shot on Diego's chin, we've seen a bit in the last couple fights that a good blow can take Diego out of his element a bit.

At 170 his only losses are to Fitch and KOS. Not so bad when you consider how these guys pull off the win. Penn moving up in weight doesn't help. Kampman was able to get a tired shields off him. Shields doesn't put as much pressure as Diego will, but thats why they fight in the cage and not on paper.
