Sandman, keep yours open since you're from that area no?

Yeah, might have to get some tickets for this one. Would rather they have it in the Prudential Center though. IZOD Center is a dump.

I hear that from others too...

Well there are few fights I'd rather see at 55 than this one. My goodness what a matchup.

They have too many contenders in Miller/Diaz/Pettis/Lauzon

Glad to see Nate getting some exposure on Fox. Miller is a tough opponent, but I'd love to see Nate have another dominant performance. The winner of this should definitely be in the conversation for a title shot.

I would have to think this is for the next number one contender.

I would give these guys the slight edge over Pettis/Lauzon winner... but yeah it's going to be interesting to see what results.

4 threads made for 1 card. Is that a record?

I thought Diaz would face the winner of Pettis/Lauzon with a title shot on the line. I think Barboza is now going to face the winner of Pettis/Lauzon.

I'm happy with Diaz vs. Miller as the main event although I feel like Dana will try to even get a bigger fight on the card. This card could be a good spot for Ortiz to have his final match vs. Griffin. A Ortiz vs. Griffin fight (2 guys that helped "build" the UFC) isn't going to sell a lot of PPV's as a main event and I think it would be great if Ortiz gets to fight on national TV.

Edit: Found out Miller vs. Diaz isn't the main event
