This card is not good at all lol. Smart to put it w/ this main event.

Super pumped for the show mostly bc I will be there bc the card is not very strong at all. Great main event tho does help. Hopefully this time around Rashad doesn't get another knockout victory.

I agree, on paper it's not that great, but sometimes those card end up putting on some of the best fights. I'm actually more excited two of the under-card fights (Torres/McDonald and Brown/Thompson) than I am for the fights on the main card (with the exception of the main event, of course). The Bocek/Wiman fight has FTN potential, as well.

LMAO

That was pretty darn good even though they asked the same freaking questions we've all heard a million times.

Two articulate dudes with definite maturity issues.

MAIN CARD (pay-per-view)

Jon Jones vs. Rashad Evans
Rory MacDonald vs. Che Mills
Ben Rothwell vs. Brendan Schaub
Mark Hominick vs. Eddie Yagin
Mark Bocek vs. Matt Wiman

PRELIMINARY CARD (FX)

Michael McDonald vs. Miguel Torres
Travis Browne vs. Chad Griggs
Matt Brown vs. Stephen Thompson
John Makdessi vs. Anthony Njokuani

PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook)

Mac Danzig vs. Efrain Escudero
Chris Clements vs. Keith Wisniewski
Maximo Blanco vs. Marcus Brimage

If you remove the Main Event, the fights on FX are better than the PPV fights. McDonald vs. Torres and Browne vs. Griggs should switch places with Hominick vs. Yagin and Bocek vs. Wiman. They also should have replaced Mills with Ebersole.

Yea lol. I looked at the FX card like good stuff. Looked at the main card like, WTF? Just make the whole thing a free card.

Well there's no chance of the UFC giving away Jones vs. Evans when it will likely have the 2nd or 3rd biggest PPV buyrate of the year. This PPV reminds me of UFC 124 when they had a huge main event and didn't even bother with a proper co-main event.

Load it with Canadian fighters of course.
I think Danzig/Escudero has a lot of potential too.

Minus the main event the fx prelims are better than the main card imo.

There is still a chance that the Mccall/Johnson fight gets added to this card.

People are forgetting that many of these fights were supposed to take place in Montreal in March.

I bet you would like that

LOL. I would love it but I'm not as down on the card as most people. Just talking about the main card, I think the Wiman and Rory fights will be good. Also, the ticket prices were much lower in Atlanta than previous events I've been to in Vegas, Toronto, Jersey and Philly. I'm in the lower deck and paid only 200 bucks for it. For those seats at other events I would've paid 300-350.

Finally, Its Jones/Evans. I would've paid a bunch for that fight alone.

I forgot about this fight. I think it gets either added to this card or UFC on Fuel 3.

With a Jones/Evans main event I'm surprised at how many tickets are still available. I know Atlanta is a terrible sports city but I still thought there would be a lot of demand for the UFC considering it hasn't been there since 2008.

Atlanta is terrible. The UFC will have to paper some of the seats. I think the event will be 70% paid attendance and 30% freebees in the end.
