This is still going on? I figured they cancelled it because no one gives a ****.



But really - none of those fights really interest me. Shame, too, because the more MMA the better...but I just have no interest in this whole thing.

Every single main card interests me. Can Roger Gracie handle his first big test, also Souza vs Rockhold, and the undercard is very good as well. The only thing that bothers me is I am going out of town this weekend or I would have picked up a cheap ticket for it.

Don't really care about the Grand Prix, but I'm excited to see the Souza/Rochold and Gracie/King Mo fights. Also a couple intersting up and coming prospects that I'm excited to watch in Blanco and Pezao.

Also Yoel Romero pulled off this sick ankle pick last year.

[redsrule]

Yeah I believe he will beat Calvacante personally, also Marcos Rogerio de Lima is a very good prospect. This is a very good card, even if the HW Grand Prix lost all of its luster

[ex carrabba fan]

The card is interesting IMO and decent. Especially when you view things in terms of how these guys could fit into the UFC

[redsrule]

Exactly. I want to see how Cormier does against a bigger guy, this is his time to shine.

King Mo just KO'd Gracie HARD
