Rich is always cool to watch too..

That card sucks.  I am looking forward to seeing Rashad get KTFO once and for all.

 I really like having Rich and Chuck on the same card.  Both are great draws. There isn't much in the way of superstar battles, but the sheer star power here will make for a fun night.  I do think a lot of these are going to be pretty one sided though. And it's live from Atlanta, which I believe is a first.

Wow cant believe they would match up Matt Hammill with Franklin.  I wonder how he landed that fight.  Looks like Matt Brown has his hands full.

It's a decent card,I've definetly seen worse.....


Tavares and Pellegrino sounds like the best fight on there !

Like I said, not the most competitive card out there, but the number of good fighters on that card alone should make for a decent night. In Austin, Texas anyway...

this would be one of those fights if hamil does lose (and I'd give Frankling a definite edge) that he'd learn a lot in the process

you might be right,Hamil's almost like a 205 version of lesnar on the ground....


problem is if it stays standing up I don't think Hamils hands are good enough to deal with a southpaw like franklin

I see Rich picking apart Matt on the feet.

Really bad matchup for Ace.  He is used to being the bigger and stronger fighter, he will get mauled by Hamil.

Hammil just lost a shitty decision to Bisping, who couldn't beat Ace, before beating Boetch. No real test other than that.  Ace could beat him, I think.
