Some good looking match-ups in there. Especially excited about seeing Belfort fighting again, and the Fedor fight should be worth a laugh.
yeh its great to see belfort on that card and hopefully he has his training back on track cause he hasn’t been in good shape for his fights in cage rage and we might even see him make his way to an Elite XC title shot off Robbie Lawler
I wonder will Randy Couture be there or be part of the commentary team? Then again he may not be allowed to take part because of his UFC contract issues.
