    ...is shaping up to be the greatest free card ever

    Benson Henderson vs. Nate Diaz
    BJ Penn vs. Rory MacDonald
    Mauricio Rua vs. Alexander Gustafsson

    Let's just pray that it isn't plagued by injuries.

    Pretty good card. I think it's a good time to put Shogun and BJ out to pasture and making names, potentially, of Rory and Guf makes sense on a free event

    I can't believe they are putting BJ on Fox. I know he is somewhat irrelevant in the WW division, but his name alone will sell a PPV.

    Wow this is one of the best cards in years IMO. Most of the PPVs suck these days atleast on paper.

    This is their intention, and BJ will lose, but I bet Shogun ends up KOing Gustafsson... and ensuring that Fail Sonnen gets a lhw title shot as that kills the anticipated Jones-Gus showdown.

    That's the nature of combat spots I guess. Shogun is more than capable of putting Guf away, but he always had a little trouble with taller straight punching guys like Reem , Lil Nog, Diabate in the stand up and of course Jones. Nostalgia is all well and good but the smart money is on Guf for a wide UD

    I haven't been especially impressed by Gus, don't really see what the fuss is about. Decent fighter, nothing more. Shogun hasn't looked good recently, but I still think he can dredge up a punch and then finish it off even if he's losing this one. Still, you never know. Shogun could come in flabby and get outworked all night.

    Im just playing the percentage, Guf is quite fluid & mobile and works the jab and front kicks well, Shogun is stiff, lacking in defensive fundamentals other than his grade A chin and has no cardio

    Punchers chance at best imo he should actually work for the TD's in this one and try to work some gnp or he'll have a VERY hard time closing the distance without getting out struck
