UFC 130: Rampage vs. Hamill takes place on Saturday night from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

With the planned third fight between UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar and The Ultimate Fighter 5 alum Gray Maynard on hold due to injuries, the featured bout will see former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Quinton “Rampage” Jackson go for his seventh win in the UFC (and 32nd career victory) against TUF 3 alum Matt “The Hammer” Hamill, who is riding a five-fight win streak (albeit one that includes a controversial disqualification victory over Jon Jones).

The event will also feature a pair of high-profile bouts in the heavyweight division, as former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir will take on Roy “Big Country” Nelson in the co-main event and 6’11” Stefan “Skyscraper” Struve will look to run his win streak to three fights and pin the first career loss on Travis Browne.

Keep an eye on this space from now until Saturday night for thoughts, predictions and notes from the upcoming card.
