Looks like an entertaining card.  Unfortunately I don't have Versus, so I guess I'll have to watch the replays online.  I keep going back and forth on the Lytle vs. Hardy fight.  Hardy seems so much bigger than Lytle, and Lytle can be inconsistent at times.  I want Lights Out to win this fight, as I'm not a big Hardy fan, but I'm just not sure.  Should I side with size or experience?

Another factor is Lytle's retirement.

I'm kinda disappointed to hear that Lytle is going to retire.  I really enjoy watching him compete, but I guess he's done all he's going to do in the sport at this point.  It's probably a smart decision.  I wonder if he'll go back to boxing, or if he's just going to call it quits in general?

On the other topic -- I'm glad this site is gaining recognition, but hopefully we can remain troll free.

Hopefully he goes out with a nice fight, his way.

i know one thing. if hardy and henderson win tonight i will be in the top three in the bonus contest. those are the swing fights and last time i checked miller was taken by 70% of Tapologists. i see either hardy knocking out lytle quick or very late in the third round in desperation throw bombs mode. i think there are four great fights on this card. i just hope they live up to expectations.
