    My quick summaries...

    Thompson is a sacrificial lamb. He'll storm out, throw a few bombs, get tagged, fall down, and not get up.

    Smith has Dynamite in his punches and is gonna catch Lawler.

    I think Carano has too much on her plate (that's not a fat joke), and isn't focused. Watch for the upset.

    Baroni can win, but for wearing those horribly gay tiger underwear at the weigh in, he's gotta lose.

    Rogers has looked good so far, he's being groomed as one of EliteXC's marquee heavies.

    Weis and Robbins I don't think I've seen, so that's just a guess.

    Serra's got the BJJ, but I've heard Makowski can bang.

    Liguori is one of my favorites, but he's a .500 fighter. But I think he's got too much experience and should win.

    Don't know much about Kattar, but Binky isn't very good.

    Makovsky and Soares I haven't seen, so I'm just guessing here.

    Same with Groves and Sampieri.

    I've seen Carlos fight a few times at local shows, and he's pretty good, but he looked grossly out of shape at the weigh in. Haselrig is the ex Pittsburgh Steeler O Lineman, and holds an amateur wrestling win over Kurt Angle.

    I think Kimbo takes out Thompson but I wouldn't be surprised if megapunk pulled the upset if he's able to witsand Kimbo early onslaught

    Never seen Scot Smith fight so I can't comment on this one

    Don't care about woman fighting

    Left hook Visilieanor should be able to take out Baloney after he gas again

    Brett Rogers by ko, he's got potential and never heard about the other guy

    You may have seen Smith and not realize it.

    Here's Smith's biggest fight, and one of the best endings to a fight...ever.

    Yeah, my brother told me the same thing when I said I didn't knew the guy Lawler was fighting, and I had indeed seen this fight, amazing ending but didn't realise it was him.
