This card is definitely the best UFN card on paper if all the fights happen. I wonder which fights they will show though because they usually only show about 4 of them. Most likely all the fights with TUF guys in them.

I'm excited to see Menne making a comeback, his 2 UFC losses were kind of flukes and it's good to see a solid fighter getting another chance. He's getting a little old, but I bet he can still roll.

I wouldn't really call losing to Busta and Baroni flukes. Both are good fighters, especially Bustamante. Menne is just past his prime. He also has lost to some solid younger fighters in the last year Jake Shields and Ed Herman. I am glad to see Menne back in the UFC though. I'm not a big Koscheck fan so I hope Menne takes it to him.

The only three UFC is guaranteeing out of those six on their website is obviously Leben/Silva and Evans/Bonnar, and then Cummo/Goulet.
Alves/Fitch should be really good too, let's not forget that one.
About Evans, he looked amazing against Imes. The size difference and Imes guts is what made that a hard fight for Evans, and he didn't back down either it was a battle of two peoples wills colliding. A war. And shit Hoger makes everyone look bad because he's a really unorthodox style fighter in every position, standing, ground etc. Bonnar is gonna bring it, and like NinjaShogun said, there's really no way for this one to be boring unless Bonnar decides to take the night off.
Yeah I agree this is one of the best, probably the best UFN card on paper ever. And right before it or after it we got TUF finales, and right around the same time we'll have 61. UFC is doing some serious shit in the next 30 days.
