Alves-Story being added and Maynard-Edgar being scratched actually made this card better. All the people saying they are skipping this card, well sucks for you.
Rampage KO over Hamill Round 1
Nelson TKO over Mir Round 2
Story UD over Alves
Stann KO over Santiago Round 1
Browne TKO over Struve Round 2
Thoughts on the card? Buying? Passing? Winner and losers?

Wasn't Alves-Story part of this card before the Edgar-Maynard cancellation?
For me it's not just the lack of title fight, it's that that original Rampage-Thiago Silva (who looked nasty last fight) got downgraded to Hamill after the 'roid news broke.
Still a lot of good matches on here though - No clean favorites (eith the exception of Rampage), unlike UFC 129. So it's taking me a while to figure out my bets. I'm pulling for Nelson and Struve but I'm a little worried they're both going to lose.
I'm still pondering your Story over Alves pick. I have to do a little more research on Story and rewatch a couple of vids.
The only fights I'm confident enough to pick so far are Rampage and Stann. Stann's looking solid at MW.

Yeah, I hear ya. It is a deep card when guys like Alves or a former champ like Torres aren't even on the PPV portion.
The UFC is a often a victim of their own organized scheduling. They plan out their calender 6 months in advance (often longer) and once certain fights get announced, you start to analyze them and get attached to seeing them. But often the substitute fights turn out to be just as good , or even better.
