I wonder what the winner gets?

I'm pretty certain Sonnen/Stann will get the next title shot.

Bisping/Miller or Belfort/Akiyama

A lot of UK fans aren't liking this main event, I wonder why... Maybe not enough draw power, but it could be title eliminator.
Also Renan Baroa and Brad Pickett was added

They want a title fight but they need to stop bitching. I was listening to a podcast with the UFC's international VP and he said that the UFC loses a ton of money in opportunity costs when it has big title fights in the UK because they cant run the event live on PPV and the money on Spike isnt alot.

Lol exactly. You aren't going to get a card like 136 or 137 b/c of that reason. Maybe have the first Flyweight title fight there?

[goh]

Munoz is a wrestler and it'd be silly for him to stand with Leben so I wouldn't be expecting an exciting fight.
