    Wanderlei is the only one getting a bye to the second stage due to his car accident (he got hit by a car while riding his bycicle). Hopefully, Wand is fully healed if intends to fight on this tounament.

    Hong Man Choi is already scheduled for the Road FC Openweight tournament Finals in mid October, so he won't be on this card.

    Won't it span 3 events? 

    The September show, and then in December they'll have Grand-Prix shows on the 29 & 31 like they did last year. At least that's what I thought.
