    Even thought the fight of the night is going to be a terrific fight, I'm more excited for Pettis vs Melendez

    Jay taking over. Who were you at SL?

    Anyways great card, sucks Holly Holm got hurt but they should have put little Pettis on the televised prelims when that injury happened.

    Here's to hoping Pettis wins and can stay active. LW division is as exciting as its ever been imo.

    No doubt, they really started putting in work recently. Machida vs Weidman was cool and this:

    Could go either way and then probably Rory gets a shot.

    Hendricks had a torn bicep in the last fight, think he'll win more convincingly this time.

    Yeah I think Hendricks gets the KO this time, but anything can happen in the UFC

    Best part is when Pettis makes Askren do the chicken dance when he lands that spinning kick to his dome at the very end of the Pettis/Gil segment. Surprised they didnt do a Browne/Schaub segment. They usual do three, maybe they were originally gonna do a Holly Holm one before she got hurt.

    So if I buy the ppv event do I only get to watch the main card or are all the prelims (starting at 7) also included?
