Hope it's true. I said it when the merger happened, smaller fighters will now migrate over to the big show.

Mighty Mouse will make him really work for this first win. Wouldn't be surprised if Mighty Mouse overwhelms him.

Right but it would be so great if Kid came out and just dropped Mighty Mouse. I'm thinking it's far more likely to go to the score cards but I'm just saying...

Damn I'm going to have to do some serious previous fight watching for some of these pickems coming up

I'm loving both of these two signings but I'm probably not going to pick either of them. I'm not going to give Kid the benefit of the doubt until he proves he's worthy against a guy that will be non-stop for 3 rounds. Especially in his first fight. Its going to be exciting to watch though and that 126 main card is fantastic. Spider-Belfort, Forrest-Ace, Bones-Bader, Torres-Banuelos, and Kid-MM. Awesome

Of course 135 is the more natural fit for Kid as well. I'll stop talking to myself now but I'm pumped about these new additions

Lol I was going to throw in a Den's reference at the end of that last post
