jacare/okami seems like it should be a good fight. the other 2 seem kinda one sided to me... cant picture much other than teixeira and benavidez steamrolling to a win. not that im not hyped for the card anyway.
plus i really dig when they bring in those jungle fight cats that im not all that familiar with, and watch them demolish. another couple names to keep my eyes on, on the undercard, type stuff.

Edimilson Souza is one to look at. Dude is 13-3 with 12 KOs and 1 submission.

Edimilson Souza is one to look at. Dude is 13-3 with 12 KOs and 1 submission. looked like a really good striker... but hes really lanky, arantes looked really jacked in comparison. i actually had that fight 29-28 to arantes. souza was clearly winning on the feet, but arantes had a really great position in the first off the takedown. and the 3rd round was a toss up, souza was peppering him with strikes early, but arantes controlled the last 2 and a half minutes on the ground. close fight though, good fight. definitely better than the rest of the decisions on the undercard. |

awesome knockout for bagautinov, in what was becoming a boring fight for the last round and a half. i just wanna see him flub the back flip... the camera panned away too quickly and we didnt get a great look at it.

I told myself I wouldn't get my hopes up over Bader, but dammit, I thought he was going to pull it out. Jacare's time is now. I don't care what anyone says, I truly believe he will be a UFC champion.

Jacare is a beast, I didn't see him doing that to Okami so damn quickly... really impressed by the resiliency of Glover, dude deserves winner of Jones/Gust..

Man Jacare made Okami look so weak and that's saying a lot. Honestly I rather see Jacare and Anderson Silva go at it rather than Silva/jones

Jacare seriously made Okami look like he has never fought in his life. I was NOT expecting that fast of a finish... wow. I respected Jacare before but DAMN. No words..
