Its not all about the Main Card, the UFC 146 Prelim card is stacked from beginning to end, though the whole entire UFC 146 card is stacked full of potential amazing fights, I want to point out 3 of them that probably wont get that much attention but are definitely must watch!
Edson Barbosa vs Jamie Varner
Why? Because Edson Barbosa is one of the hottest prospects in the UFC. He's currently undefeated with a record of 10-0 which includes 4 UFC wins and Fight of the Night honors in his last 3. He's riding the momentum of one of the most spectacular spinning wheel head kicks ever landed in an MMA Fight that earned him KO of the Night against Terry Etim. The UFC Lightweight up and comer battles Jamie Varner a veteran of MMA with wins against Drew Fickett and Donald Cerrone. Barbosa is looking to take the leap from prospect to contender and that is why you should not miss this fight.
Jason Miller vs CB Dollaway
Ok maybe its cause I'm a big Mayhem fan but still this fight is must watch! Ok maybe its only a must watch if your a Mayhem fan or a Mayhem hater. Unfortunately Miller is coming off a very poor performance against Michael Bisping, so this is Millers 2nd chance to prove what he's made of. He is known more for his actions outside of the cage and his entrances then his fights but Miller has established him self as one of the divisions best grapplers in side the cage. Miller has been in the ring with the best competition the division has to offer now and then from GSP, Jake Shields, Jacare, Kazushi Sakuraba, Robbie Lawler, just to name a few. Luckily for us Mayhem fans he didn't get cut after his poor performance against Michael Bisping but he has to make a statement and get a win in his next fight against C.B Dollaway. So for Mayhem fans and haters this is a must watch.
Dan Hardy vs Duane Ludwig
This is do or die for the UFC fan Favorite Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy. He faces Duane Bang Ludwig at UFC 146, Bang Ludwig holds the record for the fastest KO in UFC History and possesses some of the best Muay Thai in the division. Hardy dropped his last 4 in a row after his title shot with GSP but to his credit they have all been top level fighters, GSP, Carlos Condit, Anthony Johnson and Chris Lytle which may be part of the reason the UFC didn't drop him. Dan Hardy also goes for broke when he fights he likes to stand and bang with his opponents which I'm sure Duane Ludwig will gladly welcome. This fight should be a great stand up war a definitely must watch.
Those are my 3 must watch fights based on my preferences as a fan but I also feel like these fights deserve a mention.
Glover Teixiera vs Kyle Kingsbury
Glover is a highly touted Light Heavyweight Prospect out of Brazil it'll be interested to see how he does in the UFC.
Paul Sass vs Jacob Volkmann
Paul Sass is a submission machine 11 submission wins 9 by triangle choke. Jacob Volkmann is no slouch him self 5 fight UFC win streak.
Diego Brandao vs Daren Elkins
A lot of people are speculating that Brandao will be a future Featherweight champ, he sure has looked impressive thus far. Daren Elkins is a solid test for the hot prospect.
