Oh man, Ramsey Nijem better win this fight or he is Bellator-bound. He has looked like pure shit.

I hope Costa fucks Cockhold up.

[The TroutBum]

Luke Rockhold (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/luke-rockhold) vs. Constantinos Philippou (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/constantinos-philippou)- I never understood the hype with Cockhold. I don't think Kosta is all that good, but damn, Cockhold sucks. I am changing my pick to Cockhold for some reason. I'm not sure why.
T.J. Dillashaw (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/tj-dillashaw) vs. Mike Easton (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/mike-easton)- I'm changing this pick too. I hate Alpha Male tools, but he's gonna win.
Cole Miller (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/cole-miller) vs. Sam Sicilia (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/sam-sicilia)- Let's see some nastiness, Cole. Round 1 sub, probably RNC.



Justin Edwards (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/justin-edwards) vs. Ramsey Nijem (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/ramsey-nijem)- Sorry Ramsey, you live in my back yard and I love you dog, but you fucking suck.
John Moraga (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/john-moraga) vs. Dustin Ortiz (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/dustin-ortiz) - Dude is a banger.



Vinc Pichel (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/vinc-pichel) vs. Garett Whiteley (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/garett-whiteley)- "From Hell" for the fucking WAR.

[txstr1986]

Luke Rockhold v. Constantinos Philippou - I like Phillippou's stand-up game, but I think that Rockhold is too well-rounded for him to overcome.

Lorenz Larkin vs. Brad Tavares - Similar to the Rockhold pick, I think that Larkin has the better overall skill set than Tavares.

T.J. Dillashaw vs. Mike Easton - It's all about Team Alpha Male

Derek Brunson vs. Yoel Romero - Romero is just a great of a wrestler with amazing power

John Moraga vs. Dustin Ortiz - Morega looked like crap against Mighty Mouse, but everyone looks like crap against Mighty Mouse

[polandprzem]

I cannot wait to see the Romero flow :)

:lol

[polandprzem]

This ref was stupid or what?

[polandprzem]

I thought Easton will pull an upset with some surprising KO

My bad ... :(



Frickin predictions

[ace3g]

Larkin with the Browne elbows

[polandprzem]

Larkin with the lazy standup

[The TroutBum]

I love free cards, but... man, that one was a stinker. A lot of boring decisions, tbh. I don't really even mind a good three round battle, but with the exception of the Cockhold fight, tonight was pretty damn boring.

Oh well, it was still better than sitting on my thumb.

*edit*

Forgot about Miller's RNC. That was decent.

5-1 on my picks; that's what I get for giving up on Nijim, although how a judge saw that 30-27 is beyond me.

Man, I thought Ortiz got robbed against Moraga.
