Yeah, I was going to make a thread for it, but, they didn't have any interesting fights on this card.
Last time they had Duffee, Grove, Shlemenko, and Minowaman.
The video is still being processed, but it will finish being uploaded shortly.

- UFC 148 Update: Dominick Cruz tears his ACL, and like always, all ACL tears take at least 9 months to heal, so no fights for Cruz in 2012. (rumor is that Ronda Rousey tore it, video below) + Show Spoiler +
- Keith Jardine vs. Roger Gracie at July Strikeforce event.
- Nate Marquardt vs. Tyron Woodley, July 14 in Portland or Indianapolis.

Thompson, the freak slayer
JT can beat almost all non UFC heavyweights, cuz he can take a lot of punishment and out-cardios his opponent to win. If he had decent striking he would have been a serious threat in the former Strikeforce division.

What could Thompson possibly do against Giant Silva, Werdum, Overeem, Cromier, Fedor etc

- Due to Dominic Cruz tearing his ACL, Urijah Faber will fight for interim bantamweight title at UFC 148. (Opponent still unknown, probably Renan Barao.) + Show Spoiler +
- Benson Henderson vs. Frankie Edgar II official for UFC 150 in Denver.
Papy will be getting killed by Rick Story unless he somehow fixed his cardio issues. If he comes in with some cardio and a smart game plan he can make a fight out of it. Both guys are probably best in the clinch so that could lead to some fun stuff.

Papy's cardio didn't lose him the fight last time, I think it was his chin. I remember thinking he couldn't take much damage for looking like an African killer assassin. His cardio was an issue in his first fight in the UFC vs. Alves. Rick Story has a super hard chin + he can punch hard + has wrestling skills. gg Papy.

Not going to watch the fight again, but I'm fairly sure he looked noticeable slower after the first burst of action.
pretty entertaining double interview with barnett and cormier

- UFC offers Josh Koscheck a fight with BJ Penn at Welterweight. Koscheck accepts, Penn declines the fight and says he wont be back anytime soon. "@joshkoscheck I know it costs a lot of money to live that lavish lifestyle, big house, fast cars & you need big fights but sorry I’m not coming back anytime soon!"

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker room" or special discretionary bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They also do not include portions of the pay-per-view revenue that some top-level fighters receive.
For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional $40,000 UFC on FUEL TV 3 bonuses to Jung ("Fight of the Night" and "Submission of the Night"), Tom Lawlor ("Submission of the Night"), and Poirier ("Knockout of the Night").
In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.

- Matt Brown replaces Matt Riddle, meets Luis Ramos at UFC on FX 4.
- Manager: Antonio Silva's fight-altering UFC 146 cut required just three stitches. Apparently, Big Foot was supposed to jab before he kicked, instead of throwing a solo kick.
- Eddie Bravo's new fighting event called "Combat Jiu Jitsu". Basically, you fight on the ground, no strikes while standing. It wont catch on, but, it's not a terrible idea. + Show Spoiler +
