I got Hawn winning this tourney, I've trained with him he hits HARD. Woodard is good chance but I don't see him beating Hawn. He made a good choice moving down to lightweight, the welterweights now are huge.
Patricky gets his arm broken, DAMN!
Weedman vs Ambrose, and Woodard vs Pitbull were about as good as you get when it comes to MMA fights.
Bellator constantly has amazing finishes, its a great alternative.
