Good prelims on this one. I expect some of the weight classes to be announced as catchweights.

Can't have a KS card without rickles. But I think Ramos wins this one. All in all this card is ****** sick! Can't wait!!

Oh my god...that poster is just awful. Newton looks like he's fighting the rain, confused and angry. And Etherington looks, well, *special*.

They're still better than most of the stock posters the UFC churns out.

I think McGeary said he wanted to take the rest of the year off, and Newton wanted a quick turnaround.

By the way ... anyone know why McGeary isn't fighting Newton for the belt?

Luke Thomas is reporting that Newton asked for another fight soon, and Bellator said that if their champions want to be active they're going to honor that. According to Thomas, Bellator said, McGeary wasn't ready to be booked so soon, and Bellator is going to honor their champions timetable not their challengers.

Vassell could very well win this fight. I had McGeary beating Newton, but Vassell is also solid.

Dat size advantage. 

Newton 6'1" 75 inch reach.
Vassell 6'4" 82 inch reach. 


Vassell wins this fight either by sub or decision, which doesn't bother me because IMO Vassell vs. McGeary is far more interesting than McGeary vs Newton.

Vassel is going to give Newton problems, but this is still a poor pick of an opponent.

This is exactly why they shouldnt of got rid of tourneys

They had tourneys leading up to this bout though. They just inexplicably put Rampage in a tourney when he didn't want to fight Newton and McGeary didn't want to take the fight yet. 

I do agree they shouldn't have gotten rid of tourneys though. I would like to see them de-emphasized but they are fun to have a few around.
