I’ve always liked Cole Miller but I’ll be rooting for him extra hard on this one.

I've gotta say that it feels like they're feeding...

Junie to the wolves on that one. Miller isn’t a top shelf guy but from what I’ve seen of Browning he has damn near no chance on that one.

They still might find a replacement opponent for Melvin Guillard as well.

This is a really solid card for a Fight Night.

WTF – did the UFC just clean out the WEC welterweight division, too?

I thought I heard

Brock Larson had to pull out of the fight against Condit, so how is he also fighting on this card?

they say he really wasn’t injured but the ufc was gonna get condit so they just had to cancel the event..

Ah, now I see

now there's no WW division, i guess its all the more reason to start a womens division..

but maybe they’d have to wait for gina if they dont get to sign another top ranked fighter like la rosa..

This card looks better than UFC 95

It’s actually pretty sad of how bad a card ufc 95 is…even for being free.

If this had a big main event attached, it would make an awesome ppv!!

If you're not submitting, you're just rolling around with another guy.

Jorge Rivera

Glad to see Jorge Rivera has replaced Nate Loughran in the fight against Osterneck. Although Rivera’s record isn’t the greatest, he’s at least put on some good performances (see: knocking Kendall Grove the F out). Loughran on the other hand, was completely underwhelming at Fights for the Troops in his “quit on the stool” loss to Tim Credeur.
