    This is a stacked card and should be crazy entertaining considering it's going to be in Abu Dhabi for the first time and it'll be outdoors.

    Remember, because of the time difference, if you want to watch it live it's going to be on at 1PM ET/12PM Central. There will also be replays at the normal times.

    My picks are obviously Silva, Penn and Hughes. Hoping Renzo pulls out a highlight reel sub though.

    That is pretty early. I wonder if I should cheat and get the results only to bet my friends later on the outcomes. I hope the Silva fight goes to the ground and he submits Maia. I know Damen is good with BJJ, but Spider is too and it would be nice if he would shut some folks up. Not a whole lot of weaknesses in Anderson's game.

    Should be a good one either way.

    Man, I am not looking forward to Silva vs Maia. A striker vs grappler match is not entertaining. Maia will run the entire time and try to pull guard and it will go to a decision. Then ppl will yet again criticize Silva for not rushing in like a mad dog and put himself in danger in order to entertain the fans and get a stoppage.

    Silva, BJ and Hughes will dominate.

    Although I'm pulling for Renzo

    I really hope you are wrong. Hopefully Maia isn't going to pull the whole "lay down the entire match" stunt. I don't think he will though.

    I doubt it. Demian Maia is on another level than Thales Leites and is way more aggressive. Just don't expect a fight on the excitement level of Anderson's last fight, because Maia isn't just going to stand there like Griffin did.

    I agree. This is pretty much what I'm expecting. I wouldn't mind some ground fight between them to see how Spider does.

    I don't think Silva's going to have a more entertaining fight than his last one. That was ridiculous. Unless of course somebody pulls a Chonan on him or he loses in some crazy fashion.

    I think Silva will tear **** up with some knees to the face.

    Anybody got any links? Fight starts in 15 mins?

    **** that was an awesome fight.

    Munoz's ground and pound is insane.

    That fight was almost as bad as the Kimbo vs Houston fight, except at least Renzo and Hughes are Veterans. One of the worst fights of all time.

    It's on one of the sopcast channels. I'm not using that site but I'm sure it would be easy to find
