i guess it is a smart business tactic by the UFC to get more casual fans interested in the product, and increasing PPV buys thinking they will see amazing fights every time LOL
all i know is that its worked on me haha

Before Wiman beat Tavares I would have said no way he can beat Maynard, but I guess he does have a chance. I still see Maynard dominating and taking this one.

Wiman is fun too watch and a tough dude, but Maynard's wrestling is dope. One of the best wrestlers in mma right now. Maynard might be able to grind this out.

I have a crazy feeling that Schafer is going to get a quick takedown and sub Houston.
Eric has good takedowns. He took down Bisping and Bonnar and had both of them in trouble but since both of them are good at bjj they were able to get out of it.
Houston's bjj is nowhere near Bisping's or Bonnar's.
Obviously if the fight stays standing long enough for Houston to get some punches off it will be nighty-night Schafer. But I see Eric pulling off the upset in front of Houston's home town crowd.

Houston Alexander invented UFN.
What the hell happens to him if he loses though? Three in a row you go? Or do they bring back Elvis to give Houston some confidence back?

yeah... for him... i think it will be 3 in a row you go... He is in more of a do or die situation than Groves or Tanner....
