Sucks about what happened with Saul Rogers, but it was his own fault for lying on his visa applications. So we now have Ryan Hall and Artem Lobov; which is interesting knowing that Hall actually traveled to Ireland and trained with Lobov, before either of them knew that they would be fighting tomorrow night.

I am kind of disappointed by how little coverage Edgar/Mendes has been getting, I understand it is between two title bouts and a bout with a lot of sex appeal, but this is a contender for fight of the weekend! Both guys love to scrap and put on a good show. I see Edgar taking this on the scorecards; his reach will be too much for Mendes to handle and Edgar will get the better of the exchanges.

Also, shout-out to the FC editors! You had the TUF finale bouts added, before UFC Fantasy did!

Man, Stann fixating on them training together for a ******* month being such a factor. Get over it dumbass! Lobov hasn't become a high level black belt from a month with Ryan Hall.

I mean, it's not 1996, so that won't work against the elite. But he'll **** up plenty of people with that BJJ.

Don't see either of these guys sticking round for long ... Hall may catch a few because he's a genius on the mat, but most mid level guys will punish him badly for fights like that ... Lobov may have caught some of the TUF b team fighters but he's not catching too many mid-tier UFC guys with his style.
