For over a year now I've been telling everyone that Shane Carwin is the next HW champ ... nobody really knew about him but I've been impressed with his finishes....

That and now Brock is gonna have to fight an overgrown dude just like himself (their height weight stats are close, but brock still looks a lot bigger)

can't wait for this fight ....

Lytle and Brown is going to be a crazy brawl .. neither of those guys back down

Excited to see sotiropolous fighting ... and it's going to be a good match with pellegrino in there also

Yeah, I cannot wait for that fight either - for me also, Carwin takes it.

Such a fun card all round - so many stand-up slugfests (on paper) and some really good match ups. Prelims and Spike card are excellent too.

Yeah trust me mate, there will be a competition!

We always tend to wait to create the competitions until the week before the event as otherwise it could give us a lot of hassle if there are any late changes in the fightcard. Specially for you, the participants as you have to go back and change your picks etc, so to avoid too much trouble for everybody we do later. But yeah there will off course be a massive competition for this event :)
