Very hyped for this card

i like that there is enough solid match ups that any fighter can be replaced on here as well.

I think Caldwell is a serious prospect. He can make a little name for himself tonight.

The rest of the card looks decent.

Darrion Caldwell vs Joe Warren
Bubba Jenkins vs Goiti Yamauchi

That's enough reason for me to watch this card, yup. 

also @Adonis, Caldwell is one of the best prospects in all of MMA right now we're talking about a guy at 8-0 who's already beaten Shawn Bunch and Rafael Silva two very legit Bantamweights, world class guys. Caldwell also, is the only wrestler we've seen in the lower divisions with such a long frame...at 5'10 with a 74inch reach at 135lbs you'd think he was some lanky striker but he's a NCAA national champion. I have my eye on this guy and the fact that he's a favorite vs Joe Warren, barring he wins he's already an undefeated, arguably top 10 Bantamweight at only 9-0...but I've counted Warren out and he's made me eat crow before.

Man Miragliota is the referee for the main event. Wish it was Big Jhonn

As you see I have Caldwell winning but wow...how on earth is he now over -500 Vegas odds? 

Prior to the fight I figured he would be in that -170 to -210 range.

Also picked Bubba Jenkins over Yamauchi. Hope I get that one wrong. 

Kakai is about the biggest lock on the card IMO. 

And unfortunately I see a lot of Decisions tonight. Not necessarily a bad thing though.

Wood was one of my 4 finishes. Correct Round but wrong method. 

Ray Wood is pretty solid prospect.
