Im with you on that one, I think it will be the best fight of the night, they are really well matched up

I think I'm most looking forward to seeing St. Preux vs Cason. Cason is coming out of Roufusport and has finished all of his opponents in the first round. The only time he went to round 2 was when he lost his second professional fight. St. Preux has shown he can fall back on his wrestling when he gets hurt standing.

Carmouche was taking it to Coenen til that triangle, honestly I've never seen Kaufman fight and that was the only time I saw Carmouche but it looks like it could go either way, probably whoever wins the wrestling part and can stay on top.

Inocente and Lanham should be a good striking battle.

I'm not sure if OSP is the real deal or just real lucky. Cason seems like a pretty decent test with his record.

Whats Voelker fighting style like? He looks like a wrestler type, got an impressive physique. I picked him for  a decision me thinks

"Grrr."

He's mainly a standup fighter, no wrestling background that I know of. But the second fight he stuffed almost all of Bowling's shots. He seems to have too good of a chin/heart for Bowling to KO and the second fight he was tagging Bowling a lot until he finally got the TKO.

i'll be watching this card closely im dropping back to 185 after my next fight with strikeforce and theres a couple 85ers on this card cant wait!

but i think a big up and comer with strikeforce is Lorenz Larkin this guy is 11-0 and has so much potential and talent i see him being a big deal in the coming years
