Predictions: 4 of 10 Winners, 0 Perfect, 215 Points | Tied for 237th
In the main event, middleweight champ Alexander Shlemenko (47-7) takes on late replacement Brett Cooper (19-8) after original opponent Doug Marshall was forced out of the bout. Cooper was knocked out by Marshall in an upset in April in the Season 8 tournament finals.
The co-main was set to feature former 145 champ Joe Warren, but he was deemed unfit to compete by the tribal doctor overseeing the event. Interestingly, Andreas Spang also wasn't cleared by the commission and was removed from his tournament bout against Justin Torrey.
The rest of the main card featured the quarter-finals of the Season 9 Middleweight tournament.
Prelims are scheduled to go live on Spike.com at 6pm ET, but picks will lock at 530pm to err on the side of caution. The main card airs live on Spike TV at 8pm ET.
Enjoy the fights!

Not sure why I picked decision. I assume he was throwing those strikes slow on purpose?

I don't think Jimmy has called us hardcores yet. I hope he's feeling ok.
