Great card, looking forward to it
Shogun vs Sonnen - Only way Sonnen wins is if he lays on him for 5 rounds, I doubt that happens
Overeem vs Browne - Both of their previous losses were to Bigfoot, difference is that Bigfoot whooped Overeem while in the Browne fight, Browne got injured early in the fight which lead to his loss. Only way Overeem wins is if he's juiced up
Faber vs Alcantara - Faber has never lost in a non title fight, I doubt it happens against Yuri
Brown vs Pyle - I think this is going to be fight of the night. Both of these guys always come to fight and give it their all. I will be surprised if this goes the distance. This fight is pretty much a toss up but if I had to pick someone I would go with Brown. I think Brown's skill set very slightly edges out Pyle's
Hall vs Howard - Both guys are very good strikers and have KO power. Hall's striking is faster and crisper so I'm going with Hall for the win
Lauzon vs Johnson - Johnson is completely outclassed in this fight, not sure why these 2 guys are matched up. Lauzon should win this pretty easily

really happy with the fights last night. Uriah hall was a complete disappointment but my boy Faber was awesome. Even after that beginning assault he took he fought in true Faber style.
Sonnen was good and Rua is not an easy guy to tap. But for me watching big big Browns size 16 foot kissing Overeem on the chin was enough to make me jump out of my chair and wake the house up.
Love these free cards.

I was a big WEC fan so kinda like all them guys. I think silva was talking about sonnen in an interview and thats why he called em out. But man he does have a big mouth. He would beat silva. Silva is not the axe murderer he used to be.

Silva is not the axe murderer he used to be. Very true. I don't like Sonnen for three reasons, he's been caught cheating with roids, his mouth, and he is a duck. I can't like the guy at all.

Great card all around, even the prelims
Michael Johnson's striking completely impressed me, it seemed like it really caught Lauzon by surprise and really had no answer for him, great job by Johnson
I understand why Hall was hesitant with his striking since Howard has some extreme KO power but he should have thrown more strikes
Brown is quickly becoming a real contender. I didn't think he could put away Pyle like that so quickly
Faber looked great as usual in his non title fights. Even when he was in trouble early in the 1st I knew he would turn it around. Thought he would finish the fight though
Great job by Browne being able to take punishment like that, and even better job for ref not stopping the fight. Overeem looked in better shape than he did in the Bigfoot fight, but still not as ripped when he is juiced up. He should give up MMA and go back to K1
As much as I don't like Sonnen, it was impressive to see him sub Shogun

Silva is not the axe murderer he used to be. Agreed. He is a bad match up for Silva. Both him and Shogun need to retire, they have both been in too many wars and their not the same fighters they used to be
