Anyone else intrigued by this? It's next week (man that's quick!). I like both Condit and Maia, but would sway more toward Condit for this one. Pettis looks great too, though Oliveira is extremely good...I will admit though I don't know much about the ladies fighting on the card, but one of 'em's Aussie, so that's an instant nod of approval from me.  What do you guys think?  |

Yeah, looking forward to it. I'm picking Condit over Maia...especially if they stay on their feet. Pettis really needs a win here... if he loses this, he'll have lost FOUR in a row, which just a few fights ago would have been unthinkable. And I love Joe Lauzon... dude's such a warrior - I think he should win the rematch with Jim Miller. Should be fun. Anyone else intrigued by this? It's next week ( man that's quick!). Yeah... there's a UFC show EVERY weekend until October 15th(!)  |

The guy with THAT KO to be staring at 0-4...crazy...Oliveira has serious skill too - that calf slicer was incredible... Lauzon's first fight with Miller was amazing - what a gutsy effort. I rewatched Condit vs McDonald - man has he improved since then... |

Decent card, definitely. I'm behind Condit, he seems to really want it. Maia is awesome, don't get me wrong, but if it's kept standing, it most certainly will be Condit's game. I hope Pettis gets out of his slump, but Oliveira is scrappy as they come. Like Chris, I can't help but go for the Aussie chick, Bec Rawlings. And Lauzon needs to win, though Jim Miller was great in their first fight, very aggressive. Looking forward to it.

How do you not root for a kid busted open like no one's business and STILL presses forward despite losing a ton of blood? He even tried to finish near the end of the third like a champion - Lauzon is astounding, Miller too...looking forward to that one for sure. |

Wow man, Demain Maia is just a killer on the ground. Just backpacked Carlos and slid in a Rear naked choke. Meia is one of the best BJJ practitioners in the world and had my pick. Carlos is tough as  for being so reluctant to tap. Lots of good action tonight. Great win for Paige, jumping switch kick TKO. Don't see that too much. Lauzon vs Miller was good. I had Joe winning that one, thought his takedowns would've been enough but I guess Jim connecting with a lot more shots. Lauzon did look like he was slowing down there in the 2nd half of the 1st round. Don't care for Pettis. Would've liked to see him lose. Suprising win tonight though. Good for him I guess. Anyone else laugh at Sam Alvey's post fight interview. Dude was funny as hell. Anyway, hope everyone enjoyed the fights. |

I guess you have to do more than press the action. Gotta keep it out of the judge's hands, eh? Maia is slick as they come, that was amazing. I was a bit like Jimmy, going for Condit but you can't not respect Maia's skills, amazing stuff there. VanZant shocked me too; this girl doesn't look like much just looking at her, but man - explosive! Sky's the limit for her. Pettis is back, perhaps - but an interesting fight regardless I thought. Oliveira will bounce back. |

Maia's BJJ is just insane - to sub Condit like that... in the first round too. Wow.
I thought Lauzon just nicked it against Miller - but it was really close... and Miller did land a lot of eye-catching shots. I could watch these two fight all night though - would be cool if they got a main-event/5 rounder some time...

I wonder what ballroom style in DWTS she learned that kick from. I literally blinked and missed it because the next thing I saw, Rawlings fell to the floor and was getting hammered. |
