Predictions: 6 of 9 Winners, 3 Perfect, 400 Points | Tied for 85th
In the main event, kickboxing sensation Tyrone Spong (1-0) looks to keep the short streak alive against striker Angel DeAnda (11-2). The co-main sees Marlon Moraes (10-4-1) take on Brandon Hempleman (9-1) at 135.
In other main card action, WSOF President and former kickboxer Ray Sefo (2-1) meets Dave Huckaba (20-5), while one-armed sensation Nick Newell (9-0) meets Keon Caldwell (9-1). Kicking off the main card is a great lightweight tilt between Tyson Griffin (16-6) and JZ Cavalcante (17-7-1).
Even the preliminary card has some names worth watching, including Jorge Santiago, Gerald Harris (Okay, so not always worth watching), Jared Papazian and Lewis Gonzalez.
Main card airs live in the U.S. on NBC Sports Network at 1030pm ET after prelims stream on MMAJunkie, Sherdog and WSOF's Official Site at 8pm ET. For international markets, the player will reset for a free stream of the main card.
EDIT: The WSOF video player has been embedded into the Tapology Event Page. You don't have to leave us after all :)

Spong looked good, but still hard to gage him on this fight. They picked a solid brawler to brawl with a world champion kickboxer. Hard to know how he'd fare against better competition.
I know I'll catch flak for it, but I don't particularly like the K-1/Thai style of striking. It's effective as hell but relies too much on blocking, etc. I don't like the lack of movement and diversity.

Well to most MMA fans/fighters that's the only way to defend. ducking and slipping punches seem to be a bizarre maneuver to like 90% of fighters and MMA fans. putting your hands up and backing straight up for whatever reason is like the only logical choice.
Stipe and Aldo are some of the only ones that do it.

Aldo is a mast of angles. It looks like he's staying still, but next time he fights, watch the way he constantly shifts his angle to whichever direction his opponent is moving so he can be ready to counter. The best example of this is his fight with Frankie Edgar.
