Hugely looking forward to this fight I really hope Overeem wins. He has accomplished so much it just feels like it would be a fitting piece of his career to become UFC champion. His style is entertaining as well he has finishing ability just about anywhere. Well spoken too, and I still like enjoy it when fighters show that Pride > UFC :D
Ubereem was arguably the most dangerous man to ever walk this planet, but Overeem isn't too shabby either.
As for Punk vs Gall I'm torn. I definitely like Punk he is well spoken and smart and by all means he should be allowed to pursue his dreams. I personally prefer with the way they have positioned themselves for UFC to be a sport, and Punk doesn't fit in too well with that. With the UFC being positioned as a sport and underpaying everyone I prefer if Gall shows the world these guys are true athletes and you can't just come in and train for two years and expect to beat even a novice. If they want to be entertainment then give me ramp entrances and a crazy show the way Pride did it.
Nik Lentz is fighting as well which always gives some added reason to root for someone for us gamers.

Main Event will surely be entertaining, but im on team Miocic as well.
The only thing im interested in around CM Punk is what his pay will be, cause im guessing it will be hilariously high which should piss off a lot of people.
I think Overeems results are more impressive on paper than in reality, he beat JDS and Miocic couldnt but I dont know why I wasnt convinced and I am a huge Reem fan... I really hope he wins but given how technical this striking fight will be I really dont know the intricacies of Miocic striking game so its hard to picture how it will go, If only Overeems chin wasnt just gone :<

We won't find out how much money Punk will make cuz the fight is in Ohio. We only find out prize purses when they fight in Las Vegas. I don't remember the reasoning for this, maybe it's up to the state or commission.

I don't know why, but the top comment on this episode has me cracking up hard.
leaning for Miocic by KO. But the odds are +100 : (

"Ray Borg out of UFC 203 bout against Ian McCall due to illness. With no time to find a suitable replacement, McCall will be removed from the card and re-scheduled for another fight later this year."
Sucks for McCall. His last two opponents pulled out within 3 days of fighting him: Justin Scoggins and Ray Borg.

"Yesterday, C.B. Dollaway, Urijah Faber, Fabricio Werdum, Yancy Medeiros, Brad Tavares, and several others were stuck in an elevator at the Wyndham Cleveland hotel. According to Faber, the elevator "snapped" and fell to the basement with the door open. They were eventually rescued after 10 minutes or so.
Unfortunately, the elevator problems injured C.B. Dollaway's back."
Now there's only 10 fights. There will be only 1 Fight Pass fight, which is between Medeiros and Spencer.
LOL Cerrone wanted to fight a Light heavyweight :O
My Final bet: Faber, Gall and Miocic by KO.

GGG about to fight for anyone who wants to watch the only worthwhile boxer to watch left in that sport
Going to be on Stipe and Werdum with small'ish bets on Gall, Calderwood and Correia (can't believe I brought myself to bet even a penny on Bethe but I just really want to fade another Eye non-performance)
