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.
    Wasn't trying to say I'm down on the card.
    I personally think this card will have a ton of fireworks.
    Not enough "big" names to people I guess, but the fights should produce wars.
    Hopefully Wonderboy gets another nice KO, even though I like Matt Brown

        Episode 1 of Primetime was damn good. Best news I heard was that Rashad divorced his wife. Now I don't have to hear her scream during every fight.

          Cold hearted man lol. This card can't happen soon enough. I'm going through so much damn withdrawal right now, idc if the card itself looks weak. I need some MMA in my life.

              Damn, I missed the first episode. Anyone know when they're going to show it again? And props to Rashad divorcing his wife, screw marriage.

                I forgot all about that one. I've been YouTubing MMA stuff it's so bad lol.

                I don't see how Shad wins this. Even *when* he takes Bones down, I don't see him being able to keep him down. Bones is better on his feat, decent submission skills, I don't see a shot for Evans. So, Evans by KO in the 3rd. I'd be truly saddened if that happened b/c then I'd have to see Pappy gloat about it.

                  there hasn't been much mma on, Todd Duffee was on a card in India this morning. He smashed some dude i never really heard of that was in his 40's.

                      Bellator is on every week, same with TUF, BAMMA was on last night, they aren't as good as UFC, but they are definitely better than Duffee.

                        I'm extra pumped for the fight after watching primetime. I'm going to bet on Evans while rooting for Jones to win.

                        Evans house was massive.

                        I've been reading MacDonald's blog on sportsnet and he said he wants another fight soon after Mills. I wouldn't rule him out of the Calgary card.

                          It watched that card this morning on a stream. It was awful. Duffee beating up Neil Grove was actually a high point.

                            Evans needs to stop talking about how him and Jones should never fight. He just sounds stupid. Jones should tell him to retire then because he is keeping the belt.

                              UFC magazine had a great interview w/ Jones. Jones talked how before the Bader fight, he and Evans talked about if he won, he'd be getting a shot soon and Evans said he'd be hurt.

                              Jones said he also agreed to not fight him upon entering the camp. He said it wasn't a friendship thing, just an agreement, but also said he knew it'd be virtually impossible for them not to fight if they were both in the top 5.

                              Further reasons for me to dislike Evans. Dude is a self centered bitch. I wouldn't be mad at him being arrogant, hell, his only loss was in a championship fight. But it's like he feel entitled to something.

                                That sounds like a snake to me.

                                Jones tells Rashad, "hey bro, we're not gonna fight" but in the back of his head he knows that it's only a matter of time before they do since most people were pegging Jon Jones as the next big thing.

                                Rashad knew this as well which is why he said on Primetime that he wasn't really all that down with bringing in Jones to Jackson's. When Greg Jackson is telling him, "yeah, hey, don't worry, teammates don't fight each other here", and then Jones says that he'll fight Rashad, of course he's gonna be pissed at both Jones and Jackson.

                                There's a reason why most marquee camps don't have their teammates fighting each other when the lights are bright after all. I don't think it's self-centered by Rashad; just standard protocol when it comes to MMA.

                                As for the fight, I think Rashad can and will give Bones a good fight, but Bones is too good and too skilled.
