Prelims are on right now ... and the main card airs on the major FOX affiliates in a few hours. Should be good with JDS/Overeem, Johnson/Diaz, and RDA-Cerrone II.

That's wassup, Madrox. Enjoy the fights, fam'. Gonna be interesting to see how everything plays out. Michael Johnson is a tough match-up for anyone. JDS has had the long layoff (competitive scrap with Miocic late last year) but he should probably take it to Overeem who has had his ups and downs over the years. RDA is a tough match-up for everyone. We all saw what he did to former champ Pettis back in March. Took it to him with numerous takedowns and superior striking. That was tough to watch for Pettis fans as we had thought he'd be holding the 155lb strap for quite some time.
* Scroll to the 05:18 - 05:50 mark of the 1st Youtube clip below for the great reaction to the main event KO of Aldo from Karyn Bryant (Fox Sports). Her expression says it all ... good look at the crowd's vibe too. Most of us fans in general were expecting a battle (watching the PPV or in person), and not a WTF ending, lol ...
