    MAIN CARD (FOX Sports 1, 10 p.m. ET)

    • Lyoto Machida vs. Yoel Romero
    • Lorenz Larkin vs. Santiago Ponzinibbio
    • Eddie Gordon vs. Antonio Carlos Junior
    • Steve Bosse vs. Thiago “Marreta” Santos
    • Hacran Dias vs. Levan Makashvili

    PRELIMINARY CARD (FOX Sports 2, 8 p.m. ET)

    • Joe Merritt vs. Alex Oliveira
    • Sirwan Kakai vs. Danny Martinez
    • Lewis Gonzalez vs. Leandro Silva
    • Steve Montgomery vs. Tony Sims

    Visa issues derailed the majority of this card, the whole prelims were made in the last week. Reminds me of a boxing card that really just has that one fight, although the Larkin fight will be entertaining.

    Fights that fell out

    Erick Silva vs Rick Story
    Rani Yayha vs. Masanori Kanehara
    Viscardi Andrade vs Andreas Stahl
    Rodrigo de Lima vs Nikita Krylov

    Sucks that this card fell apart like it did. Looking forward to Machida/Romero though

    I don't like this fast turnaround for Machida.

    Hope he wins, but I am scared for him.

    Ya thats a huge advantage for Romero given Machida's style.

    Im actually starting to lean towards Romero now.

    Machida is going to hang them up in the next year or two. I'd like to see him go out on some wins, but we'll see.

    I have machida bouncing back, if it goes into the later rounds I can see Romero's cardio giving him trouble again

    Machida is always so good and elusive. However, Yoel's got some power so if he catches Machida it could be lights out. I'm rooting for Machida but it's not as one sided in my thoughts as it might be... I actually think Yoel will win :S

    Never been a huge fan of Machida but watching him get beaten like that in back to back fights is rough
