I don't know if it's a sign from above or what, but I just made pigs in a blanket for lunch and I think it's a pretty apt food for this event because it's never going to win any awards for being the best food and it's borderline guilty pleasure, but drat if it isn't good

Anderson will win and make it look easy and I still won't be confident Anderson is half the fighter he was before the Weidman fights, because it is Nick Diaz

One of those cases where they think something will go wrong right until the fight starts. Can't say I blame them, but holy poo poo am I glad it looks like it might happen. Go Diaz.

Yeah the main card is actually very strong overall excepting maybe Leites Boetsch, but there's still enough possibility there for a cool finish that I'm not dreading it. The undercard is significantly less strong but there are a few solid or fun fights on there. McCall Lineker might be good, Brandao Hettes will either end spectacularly in the first four minutes or be a hilarious pile of poo poo. This is the card we deserve in 2015.

I fully expect to see some other available cool puncher middleweight having their own walkout directly behind Nick, getting ready after him in the JUPITER ASCENDING prep point and shaking out the jitters all the way up until Herb Dean says go.

gastelum and lauzon are Cool Dudes, leites is kinda good now but so is boetsch, alves/mein will probably be pretty violent and cool if i can get over the weirdness of seeing alves fight. he was gone for so long.

Someone I didn't even know watched wanted to split the PPV with me and my eternally eye rolling fiancee is excited for Anderson Silva's return and seeing Kelvin G again. Based on my circle of friends, pretty much everyone is at least a casual MMA fan and everyone wants to see this fight once they know it's happening - what's weird to me is that people don't seem to realize it's happening in two days until I talk to them. It just seems odd to me that there's no press for this, but I guess the strong possibility of it not happening explains that.

Diaz brought some Brazilians in for his training camp solely to learn how to call Anderson a running bitch rear end pussy in Portuguese

Well one part of it is that there's another significant sport event happening this weekend as well. I can't really speak to what that looks like around the rest of the country because I live in Seattle, but even here I've got people who are excited about this fight.
