Excellent--Good fight for both guys.

great news! Good to have a "bigger name" too, hope they make the main card.

what do you guys think of the match up? Mac comes across more technical, and stevenson not really a knock out artist which is good for Mac, both have a solid submission game.

What about wrestling? macs one weakness is definitely his lack of solid wrestling defence, dont you think?

Yep. If Mac wins this he does it on the feet or with GNP.

i do love Mac but he will have a hard time, Joe has a solid game.

Mac Danzig - In Focus

The fight is this weekend. I've never been that impressed with Stevenson. It's not going to be easy for Mac but I'm pretty hopeful. If he stays clear of Joey's guillotine he should do ok.

Hopefully after this weekend he can go back and smash Matt Wiman and get on with the rest of his career.

fucking hell, cant wait! I will be so nervous about this fight

GO MAC!!!!!

Me to, I really look forward to this event.

The word on the street is that the UFC will cut Mac if he loses. I hope that gives him enough inspiration to win and win decisively.

If I can remember right Danzig has lost 4 of his last 5 fights and will more than likely be cut if he uses again. Stevenson has a solid gound game (under Drysdale) so it will be interesting to see what happens.

I'm certainly going to check this one out.

********SPOILER WARNING***************************














Now THAT is how you keep your job. That was a knockout worthy of Anderson Silva. 1:54 of the first round is a hell of a way to turn your career around.

There's some vegan-positive comments floating around Twitter too, which is nice.
