Switched from Manley to Magny a few hours ago...hope it doesn't bite me like it normally does on last-minute pick changes.

Impressive performance from Burrell. If he works some more on his ground game and gets the weight cut down, I could see him sticking around in the UFC.

Hopefully the training with Nate Marquardt pays off and we see an improved Magny. Should be a great fight.

I dont like Magny, because every one of his fights looks like he is sparring.

There are going to be a lot of cuts from this card since they have to trim the roster.
