UFC 130 brings us the light heavyweight showdown, Rampage vs. Hamill, a fight that was originally slated to be the opener for Edgar vs Maynard III.
Undoubtedly, for Matt Hamill, this is the biggest challenge of his MMA career and one that could seriously push him forward in the UFC light heavyweight ranks.
At the same time, "Rampage" Jackson looks to get back in the tittle contention race after defeating Lyoto Machida, but Hamill is a road block in the path of any fighter in the division.
The co-main event brings us a Vegas showdown between Frank Mir and Roy "Big Country" Nelson.
A heavyweight matchup of big-bang proportions that promises fireworks from beginning to end. A brawl if kept standing, a grappling exhibition if taken to the ground. Either way, this will be for sure, a very exciting bout.
The rest of the card is stacked from top to bottom and it will be very difficult to predict which fight will take "Fight of The Night" honors, for every bout is a perfect candidate for it.
