Didn't really like Rampage's "you don't wanna know" when asked how much he weighed by Dana...

MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
Champ Frankie Edgar vs. Ben Henderson (for lightweight le)
If this fight lives up to the way they match up it should be a classic. Both these guys are in their primes, have cardio for days, are fast, well rounded and have lots of heart. Edgar always fights like he has a chip on his shoulder and Bendo is also fighting to prove he is the best and much better than what he was in WEC, and he was great in WEC. I think Bendo can take the UD here as long as he stays in Frankies face and doesn't allow him to stick and move all night. Bendo needs to use everything in his arsenal, wrestling, JJ, striking, pressure to win. I think he does..
Ryan Bader vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson
Bader is mediocre. This is a match-up heaven for Rampage. Walk him down, let your hands go and it's goinna be an easy night... HOWL!!!
Cheick Kongo vs. Mark Hunt
UD Via Superior striking..
Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Jake Shields
Another decision..
Tim Boetsch vs. Yushin Okami
Probably decision again...
HE's probably like 220 before the cut.. Dana is probably chunking around at 240 these days..
weigh ins starting now:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5fQc...76FAAAAAAAAAAA
Rampage weighs 211, gives up 20% purse to Bader...
Said things didn't go well in his camp , also said he didn't take a fight in Chicago to fight in Japan
Benson weighs in at 154 without a towel (can tell he is use to le fight weigh ins, not taking a chance being over weight)

Oh Rampage.. So much for taking this one serious.. I'm gonna stick with him though..
Jesus Christ...
During his interview with Fuel's Ariel Helwani, Jackson said he suffered an injury early in training camp and couldn't get in his roadwork. The injury, which Jackson would not disclose, was healed later in camp, but by then he was still very heavy. Jackson said he woke up at 3 a.m. locally to cut weight and he was only able to go from 232 down to 211.
This was so predictable. All your signatures are belong to me.
Sould be a good card excited for Mark hunk and Kongo. There is seven fights on ppv this time
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
Champ Frankie Edgar vs. Ben Henderson (for lightweight le)
Ben is almost as big as Gray but he is more explosive and faster. It looks like Frankie when getting caught will be finished. And also you cannot see the area where Frankie can have advantage.
Anyway IMO FE will find a way. taking Benson down and being bit faster, something like Cruz Faber matchup.
Ryan Bader vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson
Jeez Rampage. Having MP on his side I thought he will have none of the preparing problems. Bader is a bigger dude and he is ready. Rampage is motivated tough, so I think he can outpower Rayan.
Cheick Kongo vs. Mark Hunt
The way Kongo fights he can get KO. But IMO Cheick will stay technical and earn UD.
Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Jake Shields
Akiyama get another tough opponent and he looked bit exhausted on the weight-ins..
Tim Boetsch vs. Yushin Okami
Okami is back
Hatsu Hioki and Bart Palaszewski
Time for entertainment!!!!!!!!!!!
Joe Lauzon vs. Anthony Pettis
Are you not entertained yet ?!
He said he had an injury and he's never missed weight in his whole career.. Sig bet on the fight is still on.. Not backing down..
Champ Frankie Edgar vs. Ben Henderson (for lightweight le)
Ryan Bader vs. Quinton "Rampage" Jackson
Cheick Kongo vs. Mark Hunt - for being such a jacked guy, Kongo is a little wus
Yoshihiro Akiyama vs. Jake Shields
Tim Boetsch vs. Yushin Okami
Hatsu Hioki and Bart Palaszewski
Joe Lauzon vs. Anthony Pettis
Pettis is back. After that hiccup vs Guida I expect him to work his way back to the top.
Damn..night night..wasn't that dude Perez on some special like on HBO or 30/30 ESPN..saw that one and was pretty good
