I'm a big Dan Hardy fan, really looking forward to his fight against a very game fighter in Sadollah.

Looks like a good card by the way.

The way Amir defended himself in his bout with Bang Ludwig was horrific. He can count on a first round KO if he brings that nonsense to the table with Hardy.

I also fully expect Paul Sass to continue his rise up the 155 ladder. The guy has talent, and I can easily see him being a player in the deepest division in 2013.

Also, all fighters made weight.

The Johnson/Nelson bout is a catch weight since DeMarques took it on late notice.

Amusing pic from the presser

I fully expect Miocic to destroy Struve in the same way that Travis Browne did. That said, I'll be pulling for Struve.

As for Sadollah-Hardy, what a strange matchup of guys who probably shouldn't be in the UFC right now. They're both one-sided and have been trying to showcase their lesser skills, and it's been absolutely failing for them. I expect a quick ending from this one.

Some other decent matchups are on this card, too. Mills-Ludwig should be good. Too bad I don't get Fuel.

Dan Hardy went on a hot streak. Then went on a cold streak. And could just as easily get back on a hot streak after that knockout of Ludwig. I don't think he should feel lucky to be in the UFC.

If he loses in Nottingham, I'd be very surprised.

Sadollah also has a pretty stand up record in the UFC (despite that loss against a poor Ludwig).

This is an exciting card, I actually wish I knew about it earlier and managed to snag some tickets.

Even during his slump I knew Hardy's job was set. Until Ross Pearson or another UK guy can dethrone him as the 2nd biggest draw for across the pond, he's untouchable.

UD40 · 09-29-2012, 02:15 PM

HUGE win for Wiman.

**23AJ** · 09-29-2012, 02:15 PM

Great armbar submission for Matt Wiman to defeat Paul Sass.

**23AJ** · 09-29-2012, 02:27 PM

Highly touted welterweight Gunnar Nelson submits Johnson with rear naked choke. Great debut for his first UFC fight.

**23AJ** · 09-29-2012, 02:42 PM

Brad Pickett with a nasty upper cut to finish off Yves Jabouin. Wow this kid has huge power. Incredible finish.

UD40 · 09-29-2012, 02:42 PM

Ouch.

Pickett puts Yves to SLEEP.

**23AJ** · 09-29-2012, 02:47 PM

Pickett working his way back up to challenge Renan Barao again. Who defeated him last.
