I'm tempted to pick Hendon by TKO 1 because I think vitor might have stage fright.

Glad the event is today. I have felt starved without the UFC for the few weeks. The event 2 weeks ago does not count as it was Fight pass only.

Can Trujillo get Tibau to the ground? Very few have.

2 wily veterans going at in a rubbermatch. Tempted to say Hendo is washed but him starching Boetsch the way he did proved otherwise

Glover is going bust up Durkin real bad.

Don't be surprised if Almeida-Birchak steal the show and get FOTN. This should be one violent affair.

Tibau-Trujillo was the hardest fight for me to pick.

Very solid card, especially for a Brazilian Fight Night.

I met Abel Trujillo at a bar in jersey right after his fight with Varner, really cool guy, he seemed really wasted but it is what it is.

Trujillo/Tibau was definitely the toughest fight to pick. But I think it well end up looking similar to MJ/Tibau with Trujillo catching him.

I think Tibau is on the verge of retirement, he just doesn't know it yet.
