    One of the great stories of this card for me is the return to featherweight by Tyson Griffin.

    Griffin is a guy that started MMA at 145 pounds but jumped to 155 in order to fight in the UFC. Prior to the move up in weight, Griffin knocked out Urijah Faber.

    Griffin is only 27 and still has time to make some noise at 145. And facing Manny Gamburyan is a great place to start. Manny last fought back in September in a WEC title fight again Jose Aldo. Griffin will have his hands full and it should be a fun war.

    ******** Since Marquardt got scratched at the last minute, the Rick Story-Charlie Brenneman bout will NOT be included in the predictions*********

    Not everyone would have enough time to change their pick if they wanted to.

    Thank you,

    The Management.

    Was that illegal knee that got missed by the ref as bad as they are saying at Sherdog?

    Yeah. Fight will be a NO contest.

    Sucks. Really like Do Bronx. Never in a boring fight, super talented as well, so much upside.

    You know how some fighters have just improved immensely over their careers? GSP, Nick Diaz, Edgar, Overeem, etc. Joe Stevenson is the exact opposite of that.:lol:

    Thats why I picked him. I thought for sure he would come out on a mission for this fight. He just looks so slow. No explosion in anything he does.

    LOL.... Manny looks scared shitless of the scrub Griffin.

    And I agree GF. Why is the ref continually talking? STFU.

    Seriously that ref was the most obnoxious thing I've ever heard. If he does a fight on the main card, I will mute the TV.

    Good win for Tyson. He'll be tough for anyone at 145

    Neither are scrubs. Manny had a bad gameplan in the 2nd and allowed himself to be kicked too many times.

    Neither are scrubs. I was poking fun at TLC calling Griffin a scrub.

    Manny is a solid fighter. A scrub wouldn't knock out Mike Brown..

    Mike Brown has lost twice since his fight with Manny. he is shot IMO.
    As for Manny, this is his second loss in a row, one more he is out of here. This is also his 6 loss. Manny loses to guys that are average. so he is below average IMO

    Or average himself.

    Which he is. A solid, B level FW. Much like Griffin. Hence a majority decision. To be honest the difference in the fight was gameplanning, Manny probably could've won the fight had he consistently pursued the clinch. Instead he kept eating kicks and trying to counter with his ridiculous looping wash woman haymaker right hand.
