Welterweight Bout: Dan Hardy vs. Chris Lytle
Lightweight Bout: Jim Miller vs. Ben Henderson
Lightweight Bout: Charles Oliveira vs. Donald Cerrone
Welterweight Bout: Amir Sadollah vs. Duane Ludwig

Sunday night/Monday A.M depending on where you are. Main reason for posting this though was to let UK/Euro folk know it will air for free on UFC.tv since they couldn't work out a deal with ESPN to air it like any other UFC show or any other channel.

On paper this should be a fun fight. I think Henderson/Miller should be main eventing since that fight has huge implications on 155 whereas Hardy and Lytle are kinda irrelevant at 170.

Hopefully Miller wins this and is first in line for Edgar/Maynard, Guida dont deserve it.

Jim Miller really dissapointed me. He put way to much emphasis on attempting submissions rather than looking to scramble and create a sweep or escape. I thought he won the first round with submission attempts and looking for finishes, but eventually the beating slowed him down and hurt him by the third round.

Henderson just has the perfect body type to counter submissions. He has deep veins in his neck and is flexible as hell. Miller had him in three or four holds that anyone else would have tapped to.

I also think a lot of people continue to underestimate Henderson.

Not sure why the UFC is keeping Dan Hardy around at this point. Don't get me wrong, I like him and think he's entertaining, but the guy has shit wrestling. No one is going to voluntarily agree to trade blows with him and it's not like he'd serve as a credible gatekeeper/gauge for potential either.

Henderson is a one-demintional wrestler pretty much, Jim Miller was getting the better of the stand up, and Miller is by no means a world class striker.

Jim Miller was a good match up for him, I'm not too sure he could have the same success against a Guida or a Gulliard. He's arguably top 10, but I wouldn't have him in the top 5.

UFC UK cards...that's why. Did you see Dan HARDY'S open workout? The kid is just plain lovable. Hard to cut such a lovable jobber

Whoa, Bendo is a bad sumbitch. Let's give him credit: he put Jim Miller in a position where all he had was those hail Mary sub attempts. Guida would get wrecked, and this is the logical next fight...it should be a title contender vs hair match!!

Lytle made me proud to be an mma fan. My best friend and I were watching it, just fucking loving every god damned minute of the fight watching the good ol' boy take it to the pommy prick. Great t.v. Lytle schooled him all night, apart from a couple of nice bombs from Hardy. It's a shame that he's retiring and he had one of the best performances of his career, even though that dumbass played into his hands. But leave on a high note.

Miller had a poor game plan. He wanted to prove he was a killer everywhere, and he is... BUT he has to pick and choose where he's going to kill, and playing the submission game with Bendo is a bad choice, as proven by the fight with Bocek, who also gave Miller a HELL of a lot of trouble. Regardless, they are both studs... had to love it when Miller made that desperate charge at the end, bloodied to a pulp when I personally would have stopped the fight 2 minutes earlier. Henderson's legs are terrifyingly massive.

Honestly, he came to bang, I respect that. He's one of the better curtain jerkers on zuffa's roster. He will be remembered as the (so far, only) guy who got cartwheel kicked by that weirdo with a arrow made of chest hair



I know that's a shame

Don't hate on the cartwheel kick. He put someone out with that move.

I wanted Hardy to cave his skull in but it's really hard to dislike a guy who says "okay, thank you" to one of his corner guys when getting advice at the end of a round
