...Hawes...it was fun but that chin won't be able to handle any ground & pound (or any hits to the face for that matter)
Even Kyle Daukaus had Hawes rocked!

Aljamain Sterling, TKO, R4
I was able to meet Aljo at the San Antonio event a few weeks ago, and I realized something, he's ******* huge for 135. I'm about 5'10, 195-200, and I'm barely bigger than him. I will never understand how that man makes 135. But based on the unbiased science of him being big, I'm taking him over Henry. Again, I am completely unbiased, and not making this pick because Merab told me "If you're smart, you will bet on Aljo". I'm very scared of Merab

I have no idea how he makes 135, for that matter one of my favourite fighters, Cory Sandhagen standing at 5'11 fighting at 135. I kind of think it's a bit like cheating, it's sad when guys like Ortega cut to 145 and looked still massive compared to poor Frankie Edgar who fought and beat the best when he should have been at 135 the whole time.

Will be watching with attention when Ikram Aliskerov fights. Wondering how he'll do in the UFC. Phil Hawes isn't an easy debut thats for sure.
Hopefully Beneli wins. He has the size and grappling to beat Islam.
Nice to see Bryce back from the flu so soon.........................
Dober seems to get easier and easier fights. I'll have to look at that and see if there is an upset opportunity.

Parker Porter, TKO, R2
I'm gonna give Porker another shot. All Smith's wins are by early first round knockout. What's going to happen when this fight gets extended a little bit? Look at the competition level he fought. Porker just got chinned but I'll still back him in this spot

Phil Hawes, TKO, R2
Phil can beat a guy who looks like a generic wrestler in n64 WCW. Mideast ranking dead giveaway he is a can crusher.
Porter vs. Smith
Braxton Smith, TKO, R2
It's heavy weight Porky has no power Braxton? maybe does.
