i didnt see nate or nick in the opener, but i look forward to them. the season preview at the end of the episode looked like theres gonna be alot of in house fighting. the last couple seasons were kinda boring for that... the kid with the red mohawk seems like hes got alot of drama. unfortunately his fight clips made him seem like a bum.
in any case, normally i like to look at the guys with most experience as the favorite. in some cases it works out (big country), in some cases it doesnt (uscola). so bristol marunde is probably the favorite, but i liked dom waters, diffley and alvey

I'm not quite sure what it is about Carwin that rubs me the wrong way. The way he explains things makes it seem as though he isn't totally into what's going on. I can't even explain it.
But yes, Julian Lane looks like our guy to look out for this season. Seems like he's gonna be the dude that causes the most fights in the house.

I can already tell I am going to absolutely loathe julian lane. Guy needs to take a massive chill pill. For a guy who tried acting like a stone cold killer he sure did have a poss poor performance in his fight to get into the house.

diffleys striking looked horrid. neils looked great, and he did pretty decent on the ground, avoiding the sub attempts. roy already looks like the worse coach... bad fight matchup, and his workouts look like crap and all around lazy. not that thats a shocker really.
