Interesting that Sherdog has the main event as only a 3 rd fight. Pretty sure they're wrong.

I've picked seven in a row wrong. I think this might be my worst card ever. It's getting pretty rough over here.

I think this fight could actually be quite "boring" as well. If Holly uses her footwork and kickboxing it could look like the Reneau fight.

I honestly want the Jackson Wink camp to take on the puzzle that is McGregor, I would like to see their game plan for that man!
