145 lbs.: Mark Hominick vs. George Roop
265 lbs.: Tim Hague vs. Matt Mitrione
265 lbs.: Pat Barry vs. Joey Beltran

I think Melvin vs Dunham will be a pretty good fight. But I think Dunham will eventuall catch him in the 3rd round. I'm saying Dunham via RNC.

I think Barry vs Beltran will be a slugfest. Both guys will eat some shots but Barry lands a big one a wins via TKO in round 2.

Meathead already fought and beat Beltran. You are thinking of Mr. Pat Berry.

I think Yves Edwards KO's Cody and wins the bonus for that night.

Damn you Ninja. You caught me before I edited it to Barry. The whole time I was typing Meathead I was thinking Barry.

I wonder how Tim Hague will look, he claims to have lost 30lbs.

Dunham via spider money, feelin RNC or guillotine.

I hope Hominink looks good, when he's on its always fun to watch him on his feet. Could be a FOTN.

lol soko, I'm not asking for your pickem. Tell me more then who will win. YOU CAN DO IT!

I think Cole Miller and Matt Wiman could be fight of the night. Nobody is really talking about this fight but it should be a very good 1.

Well I was right about Sub and Fight of the Night were the same fight and I was right about Edwards winning a bonus. Just had things mixed up a little bit lol

when? closest he came that I saw was when he had his back and only had one hook in. You can't prayer choke from the back.

having the back in itself is a dangerous enough position, anything can happen from there and edwards used his experience to get out of it

Yeah but he was never really that close to tapping Yves.

Yeah he never even went for the rear naked choke, all he was trying to do was soften yves up and get his hooks in but couldn't do it so he rolled to try and get mount. Thats when things went awry.

Yeah Cody did land some decent GnP at one point in the fight. He looked better then I expected him too.
