The show starts at 9pm ET on Showtime, and this one should be an action-packed war for as long as it lasts. Bad blood has been brewing here for over two years, and neither Darchinyan nor Arce are exactly known for holding back on fight night.
We'll be here with live, round-by-round coverage and scoring of both fights tonight, live on Showtime. Tell your neighbors, and click that "Buzz Up!" icon at the bottom of the post, too.
This thread will be bumped back up to the top near fight time, but it's open now for BSing, picks, whatever you guys wanna do.
