Don't miss this card. There are a couple of cool fighters. First, Randy Couture's son Ryan fights for the second time in his career. He isn't too bad. It seems like he's got decent BJJ skills. Second, how can anyone not want to see Lyle "Fancy Pant" Beerbohm if for nothing else than the fact he has the coolest nickname in MMA. But also because he's Jarhead's local boy.

I understand your thoughts that this isn't a stacked card or anything. But I was honestly just wondering if you have ever been to a Regional MMA show? Because, this card will pack the house. Probably standing room only. Obviously we aren't talking about selling out the Pavillion, but Regional fights do very well in their prospective venues. I will be there, love my local shows. Boxing and MMA. Try not to miss one.opcorn:
A regional event like this with an undefeated potential contender on the card PLUS the son of Randy Couture which means Captain America will likely be in attendance, yeah, I don't think we'll see any empty seats. And NO this is not a prediction contest event.
That being said, we need to put the other one up already for BJ Penn and Fitch. Come on Z. Step on some toes again. j/k::
Please Tell REED that this ISN'T Part of the Prediction Contest...Literally, the ONLY Guy REED's EVER Heard of is "Couture"...But REED HASN'T Even Seen Him Fight.... REED:kidcool:
These fights would probably be easier to predict, at this level a lot of times one guy is being fed cans. Couture for example, is probably being matched real soft. We're not predicting these though.
Let's not confuse people. After the SF Challengers tonight I will put up UFC 127... This is really a disappointing card. Due to injuries and poor match making, there are guys sniffing title shots like Lytle and Sotiropolous fighting guys that don't belong in the cage with them. Also, how the fuck does Bisping rate a co Main Event status on another UFC card?
What in THE FUCK is the matter with Strikeforce? They had a fucking 155er fight a 265er on the undercard. Not sure what the FN weights were but I'd imagine the 155 guy couldn't have been anymore than 180 something, while the other guy was a big fat 260lb HW. EDIT: I checked the weigh ins and apparently the guy is also at 155... Holy fuck, I just checked his record and apparently the guy's last fight was in 2007. He must've underwent gastric bypass surgery or something and now fights at LW. SF is weird.
That was one of the weirdest grappling match I've ever seen. :: LOL at the SF crew acting like that sloppy, exhausted display was a display of world-class grappling.
Healy won. Pretty good wrestling match until they gassed and it transposed into white belt level BJJ , problem was Beerbohm gassed first, and dropped the 2nd and 3rd. Beerbohm looked better but you need to be there for 15 minutes. That said, the 3rd was close enough where I expecting Lyle to get the win based on his complete and utter highway robbery of Shaolin Ribeiro.
