Still some pretty solid fights even with the tournament falling apart. Mein, Nunes, Romero and Maxi are all huge prospects. Sucks that Rockhold's getting a title shot after a year and a half layoff but there really isn't anyone else to fight Jacare but Kennedy. Really looking forward to seeing Romero against someone as good as Feijao. The guy's an absolute monster grappling-wise. Silver medal at the 2000 olympics in freestyle and has probably the best takedown in MMA history at 5:39 of this fight

Every fight on this card is pretty awesome except the Middleweight title fight, I think Jacare is gonna destroy Rockhold. That's an insane step up in competition, coming from pretty much nothing but Challenger's shows to fight one of the best 185'ers in the world after a year and a half layoff. Anyway I got...

Barnett by UD
Cormier by UD (I think Cormier can easily control Bigfoot with his wrestling)
Jacare by sub
Gracie by sub
de Lima by TKO
Mein by TKO

having a hard time picking a winner for Feijao and Romero

hopefully Maximo gets a replacement to fight quick, maybe JZ can step up and come in on short notice.

i'm liking this card alot. but they still need to make cyborg/daley happen in the future. that shit would be explosive...

i wanna see bigfoot win this tourney. its too bad hardgay ducked the Foot.. cuz i like cormier. i think if dude dropped to 205 he'd be a beast.

I love this new "War Master" persona Barnett's doing. Today on the conference call he dropped this gem.
"Titles are a spoil of war. You have to go win the battle before you rape the dead of all their belongings."

Also Sergei said he's fighting for Reem and all of Golden Glory and said "I will win. I must win." I'm guessing he's hinting that he knows he'll be cut if he loses.
