UFC 139 took a big blow to it's card when Velasquez vs. Dos Santos was moved to the UFC on Fox 1 card, so the UFC are trying to find a replacement.

It's already looking like a great card, but with a title fight just a week prior to the event, it's hard to see the likes of Anderson Silva appear on the card. I do believe, however, that the UFC could make this a card of future title contenders - with the Faber vs. Bowles bout leading to a shot at Cruz's title.

I would like to see Machida vs. Davis for a future shot at the Light Heavyweight title, or a showdown between Ben Henderson and Clay Guida with a shot at the Lightweight belt on the line. I wouldn't like to see Franklin vs. Ortiz however, as I think this isn't the right time for this fight to happen - Ortiz needs to take a break from fighting and Franklin should be fighting an up-and-coming fighter to determine whether he could climb the ladder once again (i.e. Alexander Gustafsson).

Kyle Kingsbury vs. Stephan Bonnar has great potential to be a 3-round stand up war, Martin Kampmann vs. Rick Story is an interesting fight as both are trying to get back on track in the Welterweight division, and Gleison Tibau vs. Rafael Dos Anjos is a really exciting fight between two rising UFC veterans. The card also sees Chris Weidman - an up-and-coming middleweight - face off against Tom Lawlor, who always has great entrance. Ryan Bader vs. Jason Brilz is also interesting as the loser has the potential of being cut, making both fighters hungry for victory and doing all they can to obtain it.

Any thoughts on the card? I think it's shaping up to be an interesting one!
