No, no he hasn't, he started his career at 168.

Wouldn't he just be even bigger back then at 168? I mean leaner, but generally larger than the competition. He has probably filled out somewhat since then but still.

I like all the main card fighters, but I'll be rooting for Maia, BJ, Renzo, and Mark Munoz.

It’s a shame it took the UFC this long to sign Renzo but I’m not sure why they have signed him now. He hasn’t fought since 2007 and he is 43, do we seriously think he’s gonna win?

No, this fight is a mismatch like all the other big fights on that card.

I also expected them to give him more of a tune-up fight first. But I'm still gonna root for him anyway.

Besides that, yeah BJ and Anderson - no real surprises in this card.:icon_surp

For me as a swede, the biggest fight on the card is without a doubt Gustafsson vs Davis. I'm concerned about how Alexander will fare against an explosive, highly athletic wrestler such as Davis.

But! I know that he has been working out with Martin Lidberg (who has beaten both Randy Cotoure and Dan Henderson during his wrestling career), and Ilir Latifi (who is also a highly accomplished wrestler, although not as accomplished as Lidberg). So I hope they've done a good job preparing him.

As for the other fights: Silva (1st rnd KO) - Penn (3rd rnd TKO) - Gracie (submission in 2nd or 3rd).
