No one's mentioned that this one's been officially added to the card. I think it's a great match-up between two tough veterans. I've been an Evan Tanner fan since I first got into MMA, and it was hard to watch him take two tough losses in a row and basically disappear.

On the other hand, Horn got brutalized by Chuck in his LHW title shot. I respect his heart for staying in there until he couldn't see anymore, but he definitely got pounded.

So here we've got two guys with good ground games who aren't afraid to brawl, both coming off really tough losses where they got pounded senseless. After Horn and the UFC saying that he was going to stay at 205 and be the division's gatekeeper, he's gone back down to a more comfortable weight class.

Thoughts? Who've you got for this one? I think it'll come down to Horn's BJJ vs Tanner's ground-and-pound, and hopefully it won't get stopped early due to a cut. I'm gonna go with Tanner.
