Who were some of the names Wolf?

I have a feeling I'm going to dislike Michael "Mick" Bowman.

There was word that Andre Galvao and Karl Ammoussou went to the tryouts. Not big names in general but they are bigger names relative to what the final cast members are.

They are both foreign fighters and language might be an issue there...plus niether of them are that good.

I love me some Ammoussou

So do grapplers in MMA, even though Karl is a Judoka...he has struggled against grapplers.

Two things stand out to me.

1. If a guy nicknamed C-Murder wins, I will quit MMA!

2. I don't care if "chunty" means 12 inch cock, that is a stupid nickname.

That's all.
