    Alot of good fights.

    I'm not sure if Rivera vs Sakara should be in the main event. It might be a good fight but a fight like Matyushenko vs Gustafsson should surely be higher? Even Brown vs Phan could be argued over it.

    Anyway, the card looks stacked, even if there isn't a 'special' fight on it. Evans vs Davis should have been an eliminator.

    Main card
    Light Heavyweight bout: Rashad Evans vs. Phil Davis
    Light Heavyweight bout: Rich Franklin vs. Antônio Rogério Nogueira
    Middleweight bout: Vitor Belfort vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama
    Middleweight bout: Jorge Rivera vs. Alessio Sakara
    Welterweight bout: Rory MacDonald vs. Mike Pyle

    Preliminary card (televised)
    Light Heavyweight bout: Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Alexander Gustafsson
    Featherweight bout: Chad Mendes vs. Rani Yahya

    Preliminary card
    Welterweight bout: Dennis Hallman vs. Brian Ebersole
    Bantamweight bout: Ivan Menjivar vs. Nick Pace
    Welterweight bout: Johny Hendricks vs. Mike Pierce
    Featherweight bout: Mike Brown vs. Nam Phan

    The only two fights that interest me are Davis vs Evans as i want Davis to tool evans. And Belfort Akiyama simply because it's Belfort. I have some passing interest in Lil Nog vs Franklin but the card over all for me is very meh..

    My only interest in this card is seeing Evans get beaten, and seeing Belfort exploding through Akiyama in the first round. Sidenote, would also like to see Matyushenko and Menjivar do well.

    Is UFC 133 the retirement tour or am i missing something here?

    Belfort, Franklin and the Janitor all on the same card?!

    Terrible fight card IMO... No Lightweight or Heavyweight fights on the card. It's nice to see them keeping all the divisions active :patsch

    Mendes Vs Rani interests me, it's probably an eliminator for the winner of Aldo/Florian.

    Always interested in watching Rory MacDonald fight, too.

    Some good fights but the idea of Evans-Davis as a main event puts me to sleep quick.

    QFT. Most Evan fights are dull. Id bet my life this will be the same in another in the long line of safety first affairs.

    WFT are people talking about !!! ???

    The card has good solid depth to it , granted Sakara and Rivera is a stocking filler , but that would be a main event in most promotions , simply because of the nature in there styles , its going to be war , beneath that you have a rising star fighting an experienced well schooled pro (Macdonald Pyle) , former champions in every other fight on the main card !!!!! what is there not to like :huh

    On the pre lims , an up and coming star in Chad Mendes , im excited , i think its as good as most recent cards TBH ............
