Ok, I can't watch the main card fights yet, unfortunately. I'll be back on here when I catch up, which will hopefully be before the co-main.

Stann's a real force in the division. I can see him beating some of the top 10. Power, tdd, good standup, and should continue improving with greg jackson.

Brian Stann did exactly what I thought he would do, he just did a round later than what I predicted. Torres/Johnson is more proof that there needs to be different judges and judging in MMA. Torres won that fight, I don't care what anybody says. So far I'm 4 out of 6 with 1 perfect.

I agree gio, the next fight was the toughest for me to call. I hope I'm right, and that Alves wins.
