Not trolling guys; this has got to be the most uninteresting card I've ever seen. I don't even know why they're putting it on PPV.

Because people will still pay regardless. I do agree though, the card is dull and there's little chance of an upset from Mendes.

Really? Aldo vs Mendes, uninteresting?
I recognize the rest is kind of weak, though.

But the main event... BOOM! :)

Aldo splats Mendes. Belfort fails to KO Johnson in the first, breaks mentally and loses in a humiliating fashion. Palhares cripples another fighter.

Actually, I think Aldo vs Mendes has "fight of the year"-potential.
And that it will be very close. But, of course, we'll see.
Won't watch this one live, though.

The main event will be on Spike in about two weeks. I can wait. Also realize I've been watching almost every single UFC on pay per view since #1. I pay for it. I could stream it or find a pirated copy but I don't. This will be the second one I'm not going to watch, the other was Frank Mir vs Cro Cop.

Sorry guys, no bets for this one. I only set bets if I've seen at least one recent fight of both fighters and unfortunately I haven't yet watched Mendes and Johnson. I'd normally dig it up, but am currently too busy with exams for that.

So sorry, not this one.
