This is a great card. Fingers crossed Jon keeps his nose clean until then (heh)

I love mighty mouse, but he alone won't make this card paper view worthy.

I agree.

I don't have anything against the smaller guys and I'm a fan of MM, hes one of the best in the entire sport, but this card lost about 60% of my interest as a PPV when I heard DC was out.

If a card like this was headlined by Werdum vs Miocic after Jone vs DC II s fell through I wouldn't buy either.

Unless Jones fights Rumble, which is doubtful, I don't think I'll buy.

Can't believe we go from thinking Jones won't be able to fight and being relieved that he could, to finding out that DC is injured and definitely can't fight. Being a fan of the sport can really be a let down some of the time.

Edson Barboza vs. Anthony Pettis is the best fight on the card imo. JBJ will make quick work of OSP

This would be a good card to take some underdogs. I actually think OSP has a better chance against Jones than DC would have. He hits hard and knows some submissions. Plus, he's getting a Jones who is supposedly sober. Not sure if I totally believe that, but I think there's at least a chance that a Coke free Jones is not as good as the original. Also have to factor in the potential of ring rust and potential gassing from carrying extra muscle.

I also think Cejuda is the most likely guy to beat MM. Maybe, just maybe, MM is complacent and Cejuda can grab him and throw him around some.
