UFC 172 - Jones v. Glover - April 26 - Baltimore

[aholbert32]

Here is the current card and I'm really excited about it. This will be my first live card in almost 2 years and its starting to look stacked. Cant wait to see Rumble back in the ring. The main reason I think Phil is on the card is to serve as a backup if Glover gets hurt during training.



Jon Jones vs. Glover Teixeira
Jake Ellenberger vs. Tarec Saffiedine
Anthony Johnson vs. Phil Davis
Joseph Benavidez vs. Tim Elliott
Luke Rockhold vs. Tim Boetsch
Yancy Medeiros vs. Joe Ellenberger
Max Holloway vs. Andre Fili
Jessamyn Duke vs. Bethe Correia

Wow, Rumble's back? Nice!!

I absolutely hate that fight between Davis and Rumble. I like both guys a lot and don't want either to lose. Rumble should be fighting someone lower on the totem pole as well.

I almost feel as if it's a "well this is what you get for missing weight all those times" match with Phil Davis

If Rumble makes weight and puts on a good show he'll secure a spot in the UFC. I think that's all Dana and company want to see. With a win though, that would definitely make things pretty interesting.

I'm not exactly sure how far up the ladder it would put Davis with a win. I don't expect Rumble to win at all. I don't think it would prove much with a win for Davis. They're most likely just protecting Davis so they can save him in case Cormier doesn't pan out as the #1 contender.

Bobby Green vs. Jim Miller added. Very nice. I hope Bobby takes care of business.

They going to put the Green/Miller fight on the undercard? They have 6 main card worthy matches

I'm a happy man. I just bought 8 tix for me and my friends on Thursday. Miller, Davis, Rumble, joe b., rockhold all on the same card? I'm loving it.

Looks like there is a good chance this will be a sell out. All of the upper and mid level tix are sold out already. The lower level expensive seats are the only ones left.

They're even throwing Gomi on this card against Issac Vallie-Flagg. This thing has really shaped up nicely. Gomi got screwed against Diego, glad to see the Fireball Kid back in action.
