What a fun card for the lower weight classes and a couple of the bigger boys thrown in for good measure:

- Can Daniel Marcos finally build on his win over Davey Grant after having his last fight cancelled on weigh in day?
- What does Tatsuro Taira (the great Japanese Hope!) look like in his toughest test to date after steamrolling his previous competition (late guillotine scare aside)?
- Will Hyun Sung Park capitalize on the opportunity to showcase his talents in the Featured Prelim?
- Who will win the Judo showcase between Stephanie Egger and bright young prospect Luana Santos?
- Can Steve Garcia continue his fast finishing ways against Melk Costa who displayed a high level kicking game in his last fight?
- Can the Iron Turtle do what only Top 15 MWs Brendan Allen and Paul Craig have done and best Andre Muniz or will Muniz return to form and stake his own claim to having a number beside his name? Either way we are going to see something violent.
- Speaking of violence, in the co-main, does Khalil Rountree continue his violent ways and pass his toughest test to date in Anthony Smith?
- In the main event, does Song Yadong use his pressure and devastating left hand to turn away Chris Gutierrez or does the Factory X standout show he's made the improvements needed to beat a pressure fighter/power puncher after succumbing to his first foray in to the Top 10 against Pedro Munhoz?

This is why I love this sport, a card that takes place in a glorified gym has so many intriguing and exciting storylines. What a time we live in!

looks like azz compared to last weekends card.

and i swear TS changes the way he posts the bout order each time just to troll me.

Daniel Marcos (15-0) vs. Carlos Vera (11-3) only got booked last weekend and its already off due to visa issues on Marcos end, safe to say Marcos needs a new fucking manager as booking him without seeing if he has his visa sorted out is amateur hour.

I appreciate the kind words purp. You are one of my favorite persons I've met on here over the years. And I really enjoy these pre-fight discussion threads. They've become a regular part of fight week along with the pbp threads and the What Are You Eating/Drinking threads that @Dead Kennedy puts up. Hope you're having a wonderful week.
