Tonight MMA fans will watch as Frankie Edgar challenges featherweight kingpin Jose Aldo, Alistair Overeem makes his return against Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva, and Rashad Evans hopes to defeat Antonio Nogueira and earn a fight with Anderson Silva, but before that, fans tuned into Facebook and FX for 6 bouts.

Tuning into FX we saw Isaac Vallie-Flagg defeat ‘Thug-Jitsu’ master and MMA veteran Yves Edwards via split decision in a back and forth stand-up battle.
Next Strikeforce fighter Bobby Green made a statement in his UFC debut against Jacob Volkmann, securing a read-naked choke victory.
