OSP vs Rafael should be pretty good.

LV is only 620m above sea level so Cain might have some fight in him...

 

[Left Hook Larry]

Troll Face Werdum vs Sea Level Cain

Bad wraps Hendricks

Decent card nothing to write home about but the main event should be interesting.

 

[Wild]

Damian Grabowski vs. Derrick Lewis should be an interesting fight. Grabowski appears to be legit. 20-2 fought in Bellator, M-1...beaten some good guys. Lewis may have his hands full here.

I think Grabowski takes him down and submits him

 

[Ed_Stark]

I'm going with sea level cain. Solely based on the fact that the last rematches he had, he massacred his opponents.

 

[ECC170]

scoggins vs Borg has war all over it..

 

[TheFifthScallop]

WAT Stipe!

 

[Wild]

bump

So is this card going to be free or what? Surely nobody is going to pay for this

 

[MMAHAWK]

I just checked and it's crazy they did not lower the ticket prices. They still are asking $200 for upper corner nosebleed seats. There are a few $104 seats still available but by the looks of the map the arena is going to be empty.
This pic sucks of my tv but you can see there are several thousand seats not sold.

[Wild]

That's absurd Matt. Watch...they'll be giving away 1k-2k seats in Houston Thu-Sat.

Shit, mind on Bellator 149. Thx for the correction.

 

[tang]

Its not bad for a free card

 

[RickStorm]

They'll just be using stock footage from other events. Don't be surprised if you see McGregors everywhere.

After Brazilian Sage tapped, they immediately ran a Conor promo. I wonder if Rogan will cry when talking about Conor curing cancer, saving dolphins from tuna nets, and propping up the Irish economy.

 

[Teen Gohan]

Get ready for for the takedowns, they are coming. I like Stephen but I'm pretty certain Johnny is going to take him down at least 3 different times. In all honesty, Johnny is one of the best welterweights ever. His only losses are close decisions that could go either way. It would be awesome if Stephen can pull of the victory though.

[Kingtony87]

I know I'm in the minority but I'm excited to see big rig back in action. I like wonderboy too though. This really isn't a bad card. A couple of decent names and what looks to be some promising fights.

 

[Wild]

Fights I'm looking forward to:

Johny Hendricks vs. Stephen Thompson
Roy Nelson vs. Jared Rosholt
Rafael Cavalcante vs. Ovince Saint Preux
Joseph Benavidez vs. Zach Makovsky
Josh Burkman vs. K.J. Noons
Mickey Gall vs. Mike Jackson

The rest I will be drinking heavily thru.

 

[Lukewarm Carl]

Am I the only one that noticed Mike Jackson's "Black Power" tattoo?
