    Saturday night/Sunday morning 3am ESPN

    Renan Barao v Urijah Faber

    Tim Boetsch v Hector Lombard

    Shawn Jordan v Cheick Kongo

    James Head v Brian Ebersole

    Matthew Riddle v Chris Clements

    Barao replaces the injured Dominick Cruz.Disappointed we're not getting to see the Cruz v Faber rematch,having won one fight each,would have made for a great 3rd fight.In saying that Barao has some record 28-1-0,on a 28 win streak too,one of the longest in MMA history.

    As for the rest of the card....

    Looking forward to the Barao - Faber fight a lot more than Faber - Cruz.

    Been dieing to see if Barao is the real deal against the top opposition for ages. Also been dieing to see Lombard in the big league against top opposition.

    In that respect 2 massive fights for me in the bigger picture of both weight classes. Whilst Silva calls out Rockhold, Weidman and the winner of Lombard/Boetsch as well as Bisping/Stann all have credible arguments for number 1 contender over a guy from Strikeforce.

    Cant wait to see that little numbskull Faber get put in his place.What a bore he was on TUF!I think Barao will break him up.

    The most cursed card in UFC history. I fully expect someone to trip running up the stairs to the weigh-in tonight and pull out of a fight.

    Lombard is an awesome fighter and I can't wait to finally see him in the octagon but I was really looking forward to see him against Stann in particular.

    Everybody click this

    :56::56: Brilliant video, i hope Barao is a big deal, id off predicted cruz too beat faber reasonably easily even though there one each and all, so i hope barao gets the title and cruz fights him in the near future

    Been watching a lot of Barao's fights the now because i never knew much about him,only time i seen him fight was against Jorgaensen.Reckon he'll kick Faber's *,expect a lot of leg kicks from him,he's training with Jose Aldo too.

    Hope Boetsch wins tonight aswell,seems a decent guy,up against it though with Lombard who's got some pedigree.
