I've seen a few Cole Konrad fights, he sort of looks like a Biggest Loser contestant but has pretty great wrestling credentials. I think he trains with Brock, maybe that'll get him into shape.

Daniel Puder is an interesting one. He's someone I expected to take advantage of his pro wrestling ties, but it seems like he'd rather work his way up.

I had no ideas he had pro wrestling ties.

He won the Tough Enough contest and had a fairly brief stay.

Puder isn't going to amount to much, IMO. He just doesn't seem dedicated enough. The guy made a name for himself and had the "star power" but never capitalized on it. Eight fights in seven years? Most against guys with losing records. It's a hobby to him and he ain't getting any younger.

I bet Ryan Jimmo v Keith Jardine happens soon in MFC.
