This has been set for a while now, but the card and (I think) the fight order are now final so I thought it was time to set up a new thread.

It sure sucks that Leben is on the main card while Thiago Silva debuts in a dark match. I would have preferred to see that or Thomas. vs Stephens, but I'm not exactly surprised either. Salaverry vs. Martin getting prominent position is nice, though.
