He was on some dating show a while back.

I doubt anyone forgets that he used to be, but (for me at least) he has become much more likeable and everyone likes an underdog.
Your right though, his tactic of not planting / landing hard shots to give him the technical edge and out-point won't play well against a better striker who doesn't fear the take-down.
He did far far better than people thought he would against Sonnen and Silva but I think Luke is just the Rock to his Scissors, better everywhere and just as conditioned.
I didn't notice that Ortega was on the card until right now.
His fight and the Holloway fight are the sleeper FOTNs for sure.

This.
Bisping acting the dick is total marketing, he's made a huge effort to meet fans every time I've seen him fight, and is a nice fella in person.
(Shame he's not as good at fighting as getting himself into good fights)

Man, this is the first event in a while that I actually want to see, versus feeling ambivalent about it and saying "I guess I'll watch those two fight." I have nowhere to watch it at the moment though, since I am no longer in an area where I see the fights for free on AFN and all my UFC-watching friends (all my regular friends for that matter) have moved away. Rather than having a Wild Wings over an hour away, one finally opened in town here and it looks like the BWW site says this location will be showing it. For people that go out to a public space like that to watch PPVs, how does that work? Will they stay open until the end of the event? Is there a cover charge to get into a chain-style pub like BWW? I've only been out for a fight once, to a bar, and they charged a couple membership fees and stuff anyway to get around the smoking ban.
I don't think he'll win at all but I like Bisping a lot and would like to see him fight again. I've been a fan ever since he retired Chainsaw Charles McCarthey back in '08. I like Faber too, though I have become a bit tired of watching his fights.

Was wondering what the deal was with the quick results for every fighter hitting the scale.
Turns out UFC is pre-recording the results, so the weigh-ins are just for show now.
Whoa really? How long have they been doing that?
Started yesterday (well, UFC's first event with it), California law now. Probably spread soon.
More info on the weight-in changes by California State Athletic Commission, if you're interested

Live? Cool! Have fun!
This is also the last numbered event before fighters are required to check in on Monday before the fight within 8% of their weight class limit. That's a rule going forward for all UFC fights starting at 200.

I have this bizarre feeling Faber is going to win tonight. I can't even explain why and I know its not super logical, the favorite is and should be Cruz. But I just have this weird feeling Faber is gonna somehow pull off the upset

Its a bummer because after a crazy performance like that Kim is probably out of the UFC since he's now 0-2.
