I'm pulling for Ray Lopez in this one. We are both from Holland, MI so I have to go for the local guy. The only problem is all of his fights have been at LHW, so not only is he making a huge step up in talent, but also weight. He may be in over his head, but AA's glass chin and inevitably failing confidence may betray him again. Here's to hoping. A win over such a huge name would be huge for Lopez.
Btw Anton: Lopez is actually 6-1. His record has been posted wrong in a few spots. I will try to find verification/proof of the 6-1 record for you.
Man that's a stacked card, these dudes are really going for it, very ambitious.
Why is this crap posted under the UFC section? :(
Kala Hose vs Drew McFedries... that is a guaranteed brutal KO right there
Is that BJ'S brother Reagan Penn?
Arvloski is just plain embarrassing,I hope he gets KTFO again!
I've always loved Arlovski. He was & still is one of the most well rounded HW's in MMA. It's an awefull pity about his chin though.
It's the one area that guy needs to work on 24/7. His guard.
It's a good card all the same. McFedries will come out swinging & someone is going to sleep in that match up :D
