Airs on Showtime.

MAIN CARD
Caros Fodor vs. James Terry
Ryan Couture vs. Matt Ricehouse
Lorenz Larkin vs. Gian Villante
Jason High vs. Quinn Mulhern
Julia Budd vs. Germaine de Randamie
PRELIMINARY CARD
Derek Brunson vs. Jeremy Hamilton
Eduardo Pamplona vs. Jerron Peoples
Keith Berry vs. Trevor Smith
Sterling Ford vs. Charon Spain

Both of the Villefort brothers were supposed to be fighting but have injuries, so it's not as great as it could have been but still has some cool fights. Fodor's been beasting guys and Terry's got a fun fighting style. Ryan Couture's looked pretty good so far. Larkin's the guy I was going nuts about after his last fight, looks like a 205 version of Manhoef with flashier striking. And Villante was a blue chip prospect until he decided it would be a good idea to brawl with Griggs, but now that he's at 205 this should be a good fight for him to see how good of a fighter he is. Germaine de Randamie is supposedly the second coming of Lady Cyborg and Budd's a decent standup fighter but got KO'd pretty brutally her last fight so that should be a rad fight. And High-Mulhern has some title implications at 170 to it. All around solid card.

de Randamie had no ground at all, fucking Brazilian takedown defense: guillotine.

Yeah it was terrible. As easy as it was to get her legs around her head that one time, if she just had a little understanding of what was happening with her long ass legs and Budd just sitting there that was a triangle waiting to happen.

I've only seen a couple fights of Mulhern, for some reason I thought he was much better than what he's showing here tonight.

yeah I was kinda worried High was gonna get subbed from the first exchange on the ground but then Mulhern showed he couldn't really lock anything against a high level guy like High. I fucking cracked up at this-
Mauro- King Mo with the Grizzly Adams beard!
Quadros- Or Kimbo Slice!!!!!!
*awkward silence*
Miletich- I don't think he's gonna like that, Stephen.

Can't wait for this fight. Hopefully Gian can shoot a few times so we can see Larkin's ground game

ha yeah, I mean I know Larkin looked great against Lighty but Gian at -115 made my eyes pop out. Was basically betting on if he'd actually have a gameplan and taking a gamble on Larkin, a kung fu guy, not having great TDD

edit- guess I spoke too soon. Gian's fight IQ is a fifth of Weidman's

I think not being able to take him took it's toll on him this round. Even though they were saying how good he was doing while he pinned him against the fence Larkin was stinging him to the thigh with punches/knees. I thought Larkin won that entire round, even while he was pressed up against the fence.

It's all on this round here..

Villante at 2:15, that's the first time I've ever seen a wrestler back up against the fence and not immediately shoot. lol he was +345 on mmaplayground so I dumped a bunch on him, otherwise I'd be a lot happier about how good Larkin's striking is. His footwork is great and he was still bouncing around until the bell. And if he can really perfect that jab+sidestep he's gonna give lots of wrestlers problems

these guys are even as shit. They should have them fight every month until one finishes the other haha. You'd think Ryan would have a better clinch being Randy's kid.
I had it 30-28 Ricehouse (10-10 last round), lets see if they give it to Ryan

was hoping they'd announce T Wood replacing Cyborg vs Semtex tonight. Unless I missed it.

I remember when Fodor was just a joke because his name's like Fedor. Kid's legit. Terry's got some dirty standup though

How's Terry's TDD? Fodor's looked pretty legit from his 3 Strikeforce fights I've seen of his.
