I don’t know about you, but I am SO excited for this card. Dos Santos is a beast and Carwin has proven himself to be durable and dominating so this fight should be a bloody battle. For those of you who don’t watch MMA…why not? It’s awesome! I like it because I can root for anyone – not restricted to a hometown team or anything like that. It is an equal opportunity sport when you think about it. Anyone can win at any given moment during a fight. So exciting!

This fight card prepares to shock you! So many good fights…

• Dos Santos vs Carwin as the main fight: This fight should be action packed with two very aggressive strikers ready to prove themselves.
• Kenny Florian vs Diego Nunes: I fear this fight will turn into a ground fight as Florian will probably want to take Nunes out of his comfort zone and onto the ground when Florian can pull a submission on him. I’d rather see it stay standing and will continue hoping for that.
• Jon Olav Einemo vs Dave Herman: Gonna be honest here…I don’t know who either of these guys are. I’ll go with Einemo because his middle name is Olav.
• Damian Maia vs Mark Munoz: This should be an insane grappling match and ground fight. Munoz is a strong wrestler and looks (to me anyway) like he is way stronger than Maia. Having said that though, Maia is vicious with his takedowns and his sneaky, sneaky, sneaky submissions. I love watching Maia do his thing on the ground. He is SO slick.
• Donald Cerrone vs Vagner Rocha: I am not too excited about this fight, but that’s probably because I’ve never seen Vagner Rocha fight. I’ve seen Cerrone pull some sick submissions on opponents, but that’s about it. I hope he does some more of that for this fight.
• Sam Stout vs Yves Edwards: Here’s a blast from the past! These two experienced fighters should put up an exciting fight. Sam Stout, while sometimes taking it slow and safe, has game changing moments during fights when he just explodes in a flurry of strikes that I find to be very entertaining.
• Jesse Bongfeldt vs Chris Weidman: Wait, who? Bongfeldt? Yeah, guess we’ll see what happens there…
• Krzysztof Soszynski vs Igor Pokrajac: I don’t recall seeing Igor Pokrajac fight before but I hope he is dominant in this fight. With a name like Igor, you kinda have to win don’t you?
• Nick Ring vs James Head: I’ve only seen Nick Ring fight once and it wasn’t that exciting. I’ll give him a chance those, since he’s undefeated coming into this fight.
• Dustin Poirier vs Jason Young: I’ve never seen Young fight but I know Poirier is a finisher, so I expect lots of vicious striking from these two. Looking forward to this one – I love the 145-ers. They have so much energy they look like they are going to explode at any moment!
• Joey Beltran vs Aaron Rosa: The “Mexicutioner” is pretty underwhelming so I hope Rosa is aggressive and really drives this fight. Otherwise, we could be in for a snooze-fest.
• Michihiro Omigawa vs Darren Elkins: Omigawa is always entertaining to watch. He always puts up a good fight, whether he wins or not. By the way, Darren Elkins looks like he’s already been in a few fights…

Lots of 145-ers fighting so there will be a ton of energy for this card. I am looking forward to it! Who do you think is going to win?
