Brian Stann is making his middleweight debut .

[CPT]

Some good names on the card, but I'm not really that interested in any of the fights.

Two of the fights look to be squashes, with young guys running over has-beens with name value.

The other two are more competitive, but likely to be boring stylistically.

It's not like I'm not going to watch, but....meh.

Riddle's physique is crazy. What does that guy not have going for him in life? Bastard.

Volkman vs Kelly - that's a cool one. It'll be fit into the broadcast, I'm sure. Kelly's one of my absolute faves.

Gomi vs Griffin is also badass. Gomi better have done a lot of work on his striking style. I can't believe he tried to get away with such ridiculously looping punches against Florian. That somehow worked for him in his prime, and made him one of the most exciting ever (!), but it's not going to cut it anymore.

Those are the two I'm most excited for. Okama vs Munoz has a lot of talent, power and skill, I realize. But IDK.

I'm blown away that they have Matyushenko headlining. WTF?

[Posey H8er]

I think Jones is going to have big trouble making weight in the future. He had to take off his shorts just to make 206 yesterday. He's very young and tall and you would assume he's only going to get bigger from this point.

[CapeCrusader]

Jones
Okami
Ellenberger
Griffin/Gomi is a tough one, i'll go with Gomi
Volkman
Johnson
Irvin
Stann
Elkins
Kimmons

[CPT]

Griffin vs. Gomi looks nice on paper, but Gomi got outwrestled by Florian; Griffin is going to go to work on him. Plus it seems like he just doesn't give a **** anymore, while Griffin is young and hungry.

[cowboyronnie]

I agree that he has little chance.

[REDDzone]

I really like Griffin.

[Nemesis21]

I really like Griffin.

I like Griffin too, I'm surprised he hasn't put it all together and jumped into title contention.

[Posey H8er]

Holy **** Gomi!!!

[SpReEfOrAlL]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN

[CapeCrusader]

Such a dirty KO!

[TheBathinApe]

That was fast.

[CapeCrusader]

Griffin was out...I dunno what hes debating about.

[CapeCrusader]

Ellenberger with the first round.

[sh00n]

Mannn. Howard's eye is disgusting.
