Very nice start to the card so far. I really don't want to see Machida lose another one, he's overdue for a win. I think Stann is a great opponent for Lombard, somebody's getting dropped. Browne is looking like the real deal, but Rothwell should be game. Can't wait.

Great card!

I was hoping Bader would get Gustaf, but I guess they don't want to waste those two young guys.

I almost wish they would have given Machida a guy a bit more of a step down than Bader. Jeez haha.

I have a feeling Machida will beat Bader pretty easily, minus a big shot. His standup is far superior and his takedown defense is great.
I could see him stalking him down the whole fight like Rampage did though.

Lombard-Stann should be a amazing.
Browne-Rothwell should be an interesting test for Browne.

Damn, I like both Bader and Machida. Machida needs a win bad though. Crazy saying that since 2 of his 3 losses were in championship fights and the other was to a former champion.

As good a Fox card as you could put together

I'm glad they're not just putting "mainstream" fighters on. Just put the guys at the top of their games on so people know what's really up in MMA.

I think ratings will be slightly up for this one. No Cinco De Mayo. No Playoffs. No Football. Just baseball competing against it. Plus Fox can promote the hell out of Stann and his soldier past.

Have a feeling the top one won't happen because Swick has had awful injury luck, and that the loser goes home on all 4 of those.

Not sure about all of them. Swick, Johnson and Miller I think are safe for a number of reasons. Also the UFC may be hesitant to cut people from the smaller classes because those divisions arent as deep.

It isn't like the featherweight class isn't that deep though. I could see Garza staying with a loss, but not Grispi. He was going to be the #1 contender and has straight sucked since.
Swick hasn't been healthy at all and I could see him getting cut. He is on a 2 fight losing streak too I believe.

I'd really hate to see Mike Swick get cut. He's had a rough road these past few years, hopefully he can pick up a win.

I thought Josh Grispi had been cut already. Remember when he was supposed to fight Aldo? That would have been murder.
