It may not be the fight card fans want but UFC 153 could be a lot worse. 

What we thought was going to be Frankie Edgar making his featherweight debut by challenging champion Jose Aldo has turned into what could be another Anderson Silva beat down on a light heavyweight fighter. 

Yes Silva is 2-0 at light heavyweight and he embarrassed both James Irvin and Forrest Griffin in those fights. 

But Stephan Bonnar is different. He has never been knocked out or submitted. When he goes out, he always puts everything on the line. 

While many are banking on a spectacular Silva knockout, the fight is being hyped as if Bonnar has a chance to score what should become the biggest upset in MMA history. 

That alone is not enough to get fans interested in tomorrow’s fights, though. 

Here is why MMA fans should be tuned in for UFC 153.
