Of the two main events, gotta go with Condit and Cerrone.

With the exception of the opening night, I've heard Fox Sports 1 has been a massive disappointment so far. I'm intrigued to see how this does on a Wednesday night. But above all else, the two main fights tonight should be very, very promising.

But above all else, the two main fights tonight should be very, very promising. Well, wasn't part of the problem the fact that many of the main satellite/cable companies weren't carrying it yet? I know they've signed deals with Dish and DirectTV and others now so it should start getting better.

I'm thinking Condit takes it. Sucks with his losses as of late, but a win tonight can get him back into contention. The Welterweight division is so stacked that a Carlos Condit can get lost in the shuffle, it's crazy.

I'm hoping that the theatrical camera angle is gone tonight. I hate that thing with a passion.

Well, wasn't part of the problem the fact that many of the main satellite/cable companies weren't carrying it yet? I know they've signed deals with Dish and DirectTV and others now so it should start getting better. They got the carriage deals with all the major cable and satellite providers done in time. Hell, they drew about 1.7 million viewers for the Sonnen-Shogun fight which apparently beat out every single FX telecast but one (Bisping-Belfort). FS1's problem is that most of their content just isn't very good. Regis Philbin hosting a mid-afternoon sports talk show. I suppose Betty White was too busy. I'm hoping that the theatrical camera angle is gone tonight. I hate that thing with a passion. I liked the view. It's a good angle to see submission attempts. I didn't like the type of camera they were using. It was one of those high frames per minute camera that makes it look like they're filming a Summer blockbuster. I'm thinking Condit takes it. Sucks with his losses as of late, but a win tonight can get him back into contention. The Welterweight division is so stacked that a Carlos Condit can get lost in the shuffle, it's crazy. Rory MacDonald makes it even worse. Because he won't fight GSP so he's fighting all the top challengers and knocking them out of contention. Maia and Rory got fights lined up later this year. Nick Diaz is still 'retired'. I honestly don't know where Condit goes if he wins tonight. He can't be the next number one contender.

LOL at Dylan Andrews apologising even though he won by TKO in the third.

Honestly I am hoping some of these fights go longer than the first round because its annoying when the announcers have to cover for time

Don't know what it says for the advertising or if it's just me, but I didn't know this was happening until two days ago. Main event should be a good one.

I finally realized why I don't like Ken Flo its because he looks like Eli Roth

Please don't remind us of that horrific Frank Mir and Cro Cop main event that took place here back at UFC 118 Jon Anik.

That was a excellent WW debut for Kelvin Gastelum.

Nice to see that CM Punk is in the house.
Also I wasn't expecting him to win but mad props to Rafael dos Anjos for taking it to Cerrone and winning.

So far, Greg Jackson's camp is 0-3. Let's see how Condit can do...
