Used to be a pretty big UFC fan, and I am really looking forward to the Jones card, and will probably tune in to the Silva return.

Honestly though, I find UFC so bloated and uninteresting these days that I've stopped tuning in most of time. I'll occasionally dip back in but I'm usually disappointed. That said, I did watch 181 and it was the first card I've truly enjoyed for about a year.

Yea i kinda agree with your assessment of the UFC currently. Like this CM Punk signing, for example. He will probably get a top 10 fighter his first fight, just because he's famous, and the UFC wants a nice cash grab. Completely disrespecting the rest of the division.

The jones vs cormier should be a really fun watch. I'm rooting for Cormier, but I wouldn't bet any money on it. But it's the Gustaffson vs Johnson fight that I think has potential to be fight of the year. Don't miss that match(and I would advise not blinking during that fight either :D). Both Lawler vs Hendricks fights were pretty great.
