Yeah, definintely. Bring some friends over and have them chip in. I think besides the main event and Hughes v. Serra, watching Dan Miller, Professor X and Pat Barry is worth the money.

Rashad Evans Vs. Lyoto Machida ( I am split on these two. I don't feel we have seen the full potential of either fighter. I find it interesting that both fighters had trouble with Tito Ortiz)

Matt Hughes Vs. Matt Serra (Matt Hughes has been training like a mad man- He's got the skill and the drive but i really want Serra to win this one)

Xavier Foupa-Pokam Vs. Drew McFedries

Chael Sonnen Vs. Dan Miller (I think Okami had great potential... but he just pulled out of the fight so that's two fighters so far)

Sean Sherk Vs. Frank Edgar (Frank Edgar Is the Next Sean Sherk, but without the steroids)

Brock Larson Vs. Chris Wilson

Pat Barry Vs. Tim Hague (Pat Barry is always fun to watch)

Phillipe Nover Vs. Kyle Bradley

Houston Alexander Vs. Andre Gusmao (Well i guess now that he broke his hand we will never know :( )

Yoshiyuki Yoshida Vs. Brandon Wolf

Dave Kaplan Vs. George Roop
