The card still isn't finalized, will be posted as soon as the UFC confirms it. A couple of fights have been changed around due to injuries within this card and in other cards.

Here is the preview:

B.J. Penn has retired 3 times already. It's never a matter of IF but WHEN he's going to come back. But I think Rory MacDonald has his number. His fight against Condit was something special and that was over a year ago. Think about how much he's improved while B.J. has been smoking up and trying to keep his weight under control.

UFC site isn't showing the correct bout order so I'm piecing this together from the announcements. It should be in the correct order. Full card bellow:

Preliminary Card (Facebook)
Tim Means vs Abel Trujillo
Scott Jorgensen vs John Albert
Daron Cruickshank vs Henry Martinez

Preliminary Card (FX)
Yves Edwards vs Jeremy Stephens
Ramsey Nijem vs Joe Proctor
Dennis Siver vs Nam Phan
Raphael Assunção vs Mike Easton
Michael Chiesa vs Marcus LeVesseur
Brendan Schaub vs Lavar Johnson

Main Card
Mike Swick vs Matt Brown
B.J. Penn vs Rory MacDonald
Maurício Rua vs Alexander Gustafsson
Benson Henderson vs Nate Diaz

Some very weird matchmaking like Jorgensen fighting on Facebook and Mike Easton, who's probably one or two wins away from a 135 title shot, fighting a guy like Raphael Assunção on a lower placed bout than MIchael Chiesa, a bout that will certainly be a 3 round hugfest. And Schaub vs Johnson... that's going to be short and sweet. Main card is as solid as it can be.

Updated: Lavar Johnson out of UFC on Fox 5 bout with injury, Schaub off card as well


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Bun-Bun]

New "final" bout order due to Lavar's injury. Pat Barry should've stepped up to fight Schaub.

Preliminary Card (Facebook)
Tim Means vs Abel Trujillo
Scott Jorgensen vs John Albert
Dennis Siver vs Nam Phan

Preliminary Card (FX)
Daron Cruickshank vs Henry Martinez
Ramsey Nijem vs Joe Proctor
Raphael Assunção vs Mike Easton
Yves Edwards vs Jeremy Stephens
Michael Chiesa vs Marcus LeVesseur

Main Card
Mike Swick vs Matt Brown
B.J. Penn vs Rory MacDonald
Maurício Rua vs Alexander Gustafsson
Benson Henderson vs Nate Diaz

Five posts in a row without a response. I think it's time to accept that nobody really cares about UFC.

Yeah, because Neowin is known as THE place to discuss the world of MMA and sports in general.

What on earth is the point of your post? Several other people have posted in this thread so obviously others do in fact care about it. The question is that if you don't why did you bother posting in this thread?

I think it's time to accept that you don't speak for everyone.

Diaz struggled to make weight but weighed in at 155 on his 3rd attempt. Henry Martinez declined to continue cutting and forfeited 20% of his purse. Final card (in correct order) for tonight. Jorgensen vs Albert got the short end of the stick and is the only fight to remain on Facebook. The two other fights were shifted around to make up for last minute injuries. If it's a short fight with a finish, it will probably be broadcast on FX.
