Main event is a interesting one to pick as both fighters have the same strengths (really good striking) and the same weaknesses (dodgy chins and bad fighting habits that lead to them getting knocked out).
As for the co main event I'm going to go with Bigfoot. While his chin might be gone for good there is a still a high chance that Struve will fight like a dumbarse by not using his reach and allowing himself to get hit in the face. Though if Bigfoot does end up losing badly it should be time for him to call it quits.

My main card predictions:
Overeem by 1st round TKO
Struve by unanimous decision
Nelson by split decision
de Randamie by unanimous decision
Krylov by 1st round submission
Kowalkiewicz by unanimous decision
I'm hoping the main event is a one round slobber knocker. Not that boring piece of shit that Overeem/JDS was. I'm expecting the Struve fight to be BORING (like all Struve fights). Nelson/Tumenov is the other fight I'm actually excited about because I love the welterweights and these guys are really evenly matched. The rest of the main card has the potential to be fun.
On a random note I'm a little surprised that Kyoji Horiguchi is on the Fight Pass Card. He was headlining a PPV not that long ago. Then again he's a flyweight, so who gives a f***?

I have nothing to add except it is the most bizzare thing to see Big Daddy Meltz repeatedly quoted on the BBC website. Never, ever thought I'd see that.

Bigfoot's strategy of "RUN DIRECTLY IN WITH NO REAL PLAN OF DEFENSE" did not go exactly to plan.

Overeem got him in the second. Broke his toe on a bicycle kick, but with that and a brutal right afterwards took down Arlovski.

Overeem with that horsemeat kick! I forgot to set the DVR and only got to see the main. Not shocked about Bigfoot from what I've read, he needs to hang it up.

Bigfoot vs Mir for the "Who gives a ****" belt in June! The two men enter the Octagon. Face off. The referee shouts "Let's get it on!" and suddenly Ashton Kutcher appears shouting "You've been Punk'd! There's no way they're letting you fight anymore!" |

Looks like Overeem Is getting the next HW title shot. Unless they give it to Cain. Even then Cain would probably just pull out anyway, so yeah there's Overeem for a title shot and really no one else.
