"Ian McCall is a great fighter. He was Tachi Palace Fighting Champion, he's ranked-number one in the world on Sherdog, and everybody else thinks so too. He always comes to fight, and I can't wait to get in there and see what he's got. ... I plan on taking it to him on Saturday night. You can expect a non-stop pace, submissions, knockouts - everything. Just because we're small, we can still finish each other."

I see a Johnson/Benavidez final. Pumped for this tournament, wish there were more fighters in it!
You don't get as many one punch KO's with these lighter weight classes but they're still exciting as hell to watch. You do get them, just not as often as the higher weight divisions obviously. They're just as exciting though because of the speed of everything, the transitions and the ground game are crazy man, full of scrambles you can just about keep up with. I think this division will be a great addition to the others but i think FW is as low as they need to go, the only weight below that is the gnat weight division.......lol.....
in other news, demetrious johnson's ex girl friend had this to say " you couldn't finish me baby ****'
........this tourny will be a great opener to the division too. I also see Benavidez and Johnson making the final, McCall is a good fighter and is capable of putting in a good performance but i don't think he's good enough to beat Benavidez or Johnson, especially being his UFC debut and all, but you never know. If it does turn out to be a Johnson/Benavidez final i see Benavidez winning the tournament. He's my favourite to win it anyway.......
Thats right, small above or below the belt they will finish!
