They've done a terrible job promoting this because I almost forgot it's tomorrow.



Main Card
195 lbs. Catchweight Bout: Robbie Lawler vs. Renato 'Babalu' Sobral
Welterweight Bout: Marius 'The Whitemare' Zaromskis vs. Evangelista 'Cyborg' Santos
Middleweight Bout: Tim Kennedy vs. Trevor Prangley
Lightweight Bout: Connor Heun vs. KJ Noons

Coker says if Lawler wins he'll probably fight Jacare for the #1 contender spot, and if Babalu wins he'll probably get the next shot at King Mo, even though Babs said he won't fight Mo because they train together :ermm:

War Babs and Whitemare

I really don't see Babalu winning. His style doesn't lend itself to aggressively looking for a takedown and Lawler should be able to crush him standing.
I'm hoping him training with Mo leads to him shooting crazy doubles lol. As long as Babs doesn't come out like he did in the second Chuck fight I think he has a chance to hit a trip off a clinch and work a sub from there, like the fight against Sokoudjou. But ya if he gets overly aggressive Robbie's putting his lights out.

Great event so far. Whitemare was definitely overrated.
You're overrated!!!! He can't help that he's too rad for his own good, who the fuck goes for a flying knee while they're rocked? Whitemare, that's who lol

Fun fights. KJ fight was sick, Heun's chin is insane. ROFL at the ref that had it 30-27 for him though. And I love that Babs called out Hendo since he won't fight Mo, that fight should be sick

Was pretty impressed by Babalu's stand up. Even when he was caught clean he didn't buckle or anything and he had Lawler's left side welted up. I didn't think it was as close as everyone was talking about .. I thought Babalu clearly won the first 2 rounds.

.. didn't get to see any other fights .. my fucking DVR had a recording error.
