Lightweight bout: Piotr Hallmann vs. Al Iaquinta

Now this fight can elevate Piotr. But the opponent is frickin tough. Al is on the rise.

Give you a break? About what? What's wrong with picking Ogle, especially against Miller? Miller's a bitch, and Ogle is a fucking maniac. You know how I feel about shit-mouthed Brits...

[The TroutBum]

Make or break for Munoz. He was #1 contender, ready to destroy Silva when he got hurt. Now he's flirting with mediocrity. I hope he destroys Machida.

messin' with ya


Well I dislike both Machida and Munoz but I think Machida will take that and will finish mark ! ! !

[Cry Havoc]

Couple of good ones in the middle card of the main here. Jimmo vs. Manuwa and Parke vs. Tuck are both going to be great fights. I'll take Machida and Pearson in the headliners, though it's definitely a less than stellar card on paper.

[txstr1986]

Lyoto Machida v. Mark Munoz - as much as I can't stand Machida, I just cannot envision any way that Munoz wins. Munoz doesn't have the versatility to get Machida out of his game.

Ross Pearson v. Melvin Guillard - this is completely dependent on which Guillard shows up. If the shitty one walks into the cage Pearson is going to eat him fro breakfast.

Jimi Manuwa v. Ryan Jimmo - another toss-up, IMHO, but I think that Manuwa will land one of those hooks early in the fight and it will be over.

Norman Parke v. Jon Tuck - Parke's grappling skills are too much for Tuck to overcome.

Phil Harris v. John Lineker - Harris won't be able to take the pressure that Lineker can put on him. There's a reason the guy is called "Hands of Stone".

[benefactor]

No complaints for a free card...as CH said some decent matchups in the middle and the headliners should both be good.

Karate Kid is back!!! watch out MW division!!!

[benefactor]

My buddy that I'm watching this with and I basically said the same thing when watching Munoz body language early in the first...we both said Munoz is about to get knocked out. Seconds later, boom.

Machida can beat most MW's but I don't think he can take Weidman or Silva.

I will disqualify you for this prediction !

Machida - Silva would be a hell of a lot of fun. Two heady unorthodox fighters.
