Looking forward to some more good fights tonight. Anyone looking forward to any certain fight or fighter? Who do you think gets a contract tonight?

I think it's funny every time Phil Hawes fights we hear all this hype about how he hangs with the best guys at Jackson's and he has unlimited potential yet every tim I see him fight he has gotten his ass handed to him. He must be one of those guys, killer in the gym, kitten in the cage.

Also Davis looked great as did Arnett. Davis definitely deserved the contract. Wasn't overly impressed Castañeda or Candelario. Phillips did really good with that quick KO but he was the largest favorite on the card. Would still be interested to see more from him.

I'm also not sure if this show is ment to replace Dana White looking for a fight.  I'm sure it's easier to bring all the fighters to him rather than the other way around. I also wouldn't be surprised if UFC was testing this on fightpass for a possibility of adding extra content for FS1&2 in the future.

Remember when there was huge hype surrounding Hawes, sherdog even made an article talking about how he could wind up as the next big thing. Then Andrew Sanchez shat all over that.

Ever since his pathetic display of cardio on TUF I have been spot on.If Hawes fights someone solid just pick him to lose in the second

My Pick History: Phil Hawes

Hawes seems like he's all hype. Not good at much except wrestling, and gasses too easily to even be an effective grinder guy.
