2 reasons: 1) Aldo didnt want to fight Pettis and the UFC threw him a bone by having the fight in Brazil. 2) This fight was finalized before the Milwaukee event was finalized.

Its been done before. Serra did it against GSP. Henderson just did it against Melendez.

Holy Moly, I just looked at this card. I can't believe this is a PPV. At least the Main Event should be good, but I may have to you use nefarious resources to watch this one.

I may have to buy it since I'm going out with the wife that night. At least that way I can DVR it.

I honestly don't think this fight will be that great. I mean, I'm wrong all the time, so who knows, but I hold Frankie Edgar in extremely high regard and I don't see what TKZ can do that Edgar couldn't, other than maybe roll himself into a submission win

I'm sure many will disagree with me.

Unfortunately for Cub Swanson timing didn't work out for him. He obviously deserves it more than the Zombie, but he also suffered that devastating loss to Aldo in the WEC.

I don't think either Cub nor Zombie can defeat Aldo, but it'll be fun watching them both try. Pure entertainment.

At least Zombie will go forward with Aldo.

Ricardo Lamas deserves it more than both of them.

Yep. If name recognition had nothing to do with it, Lamas would get the shot.
