Koch has a busted knee, and has been withdrawn from the UFC 153 fight with Aldo. Edgar will get an instant title shot instead. That's one tough intro to the division for Edgar! I hope he does well, but I wonder just far down a loss will send him in the pecking order.
I hate Jones don't know why..but he made the right choice not accepting Sonnnen fight, the guy does not deserve a shot against the LHW Champion and also its an unnecessary risk for Jones to accept itOriginally Posted by Hatem Ben Arfa
Very good card on tonight.
Oh indeed! Even though I really look forward to Jon Jones vs The Phenom, I'm more excited for Benavidez vs Demetrius Johnson and especially Bisping vs Stann. It should be an absolute blast.
Jones blasted that guy. Wasn't even close.
Man Jones Elbows are nasty, Dont understand why Belfort keep on trying to take it to the ground, of the current LHW I can only see a injury-free Rua and Machida beat him. Bisping did real good he's Boxing skills keep getting better.
UFC Rio 3 going on... anyone watching? Anderson Silva x Stephan Bonnar in a bit.
Knockout for the Spider on the first round. No chance for Bonnar.
Holy crap am I hyped for UFC 154!
GSP has never been the most exciting fighter in my eyes, but I'm extremely interested to see what level he's on after all this time. If he's back to where he was before his ACL injury, he should brush off Condit fairly easily, I believe, but who knows, right? I would much rather have seen him against Nick Diaz though.
Kampmann vs Hendricks should be special too. As a dane I'm of course super stoked to see The Hitman in action again, and a win should put him in contention for a titel fight with GSP. Hendricks looks scary though, and Kampmann will need all his endurance to come out of this one alive. In the end, I doubt it'll be enough.
The rest of the card looks tasty too, so it's a God damn shame it starts at 4am, where I should be sound asleep. Will most likely record it and watch on the morrow.

Having a party tonight for UFC 154!!! Cooler full of brew, catered food, friends/family... it's going down! Go GSP!
Where at I'm down for a road trip.. Haha
Cesc will only ever be our 3rd best #4 after Pep and Rafa tbf
Sounds great. Having a rather low key show here myself, as the alarm just woke me after a couple hours of sleep. Coffee, my body craves coffee!
Great first round of the first fight. Shame the remaining two turned into all ground 'n' pound.
Johny Hendricks... Holy shit...
GSP
Sounds like The Spider is finally going to fight GSP in a Superfight. Such an intriguing fight, as The Spider's weakness is his wrestling but his stand-up is the best in the history of MMA. I think GSP catches a beatdown but it wouldn't surprise me to see him pull off the upset if he tries to copy Sonnen's gameplan in the first Silva-Sonnen fight. Will easily be the biggest MMA fight ever.
Johny Hendricks does have some power in his hands. People forget about his wrestling, he won 2 Division I NCAA titles. He should actually fight Condit next if he has to wait for the Superfight to go down.
Nick Diaz comes back soon. I think it'll be against Koscheck.
Ronda Rousey signing with the UFC is huge for the future of Women MMA. Hopefully they build towards the fight with Cyborg over the course of a year to try to build even more hype towards it.
UFC on Fox 5 is stacked.
