Couldn't have gotten a decision Thiago? Oh well. 
What a great set of prelims. Put Brazilians on every fight and that's what you get.

As long as my guys that I picked keep winning, I'm fine. Hopefully this card brings my % up.

6 out of 7. just a % bump for me. i think  the rest of brazilians will do quite well. i know somebody who picked against almost everyone (brazilian fighters). i told him that was a bad idea.
