Fairly decent event but ravaged with injuries, but at the end of the day its fairly week overall. If there wasnt 193792 events a week they could have had it fairly stacked taking fights from Australia & Brazil cards if one got scraped. Bolded my picks but outside of the main event bar Eye i havnt a clue about the rest of the fighters.

I really want Hunt to win here, top off a fairytale ending for him but Werdum really is to well rounded imo, I think Hunt will be submitted. But at the end of the day the main thing keeping me excited is Hunts clobber hands, even if he clips Werdum its goodnight Irene.

Seen other people commentating on it but Jakes been fairly quiet in the run up to this fight, could be for good reason to.I expect Kelvin to take this on decision or maybe a cheeky late sub. Kelvins aggressiveness and his ability to push the temp will have him taking atleast two rounds to get the decision iIhave no doubt in my mind. Massive fan of his and was delighted when he won TUF, still seems to be slipping under the radar but he really is a beast of a prospect.

I was originally picking Bermudez to beat Lamas but in the latest embedded videos he seems to have something wrong with his hand, and as it was a toss up between them imo iv sided slightly with Lamas now, even if his terrible attempt at an Irish accent slightly pissed me off. I hope Bermudez wins and hes well capable of doing so but depending on what his injury is like Lamas could take this.

Not to clued up on Montano & Heatherly but Heatherly got KOd by Ben Saunders on his debut who isnt a world beater, he has been in the tougher fights by the looks of his records though. Montano on the other hand is taking a step up and making his UFC debut, but being the home town guy and having the crowd behind him Im picking him over Heatherly.

Urbina is purely being picked because of TUF19. I liked him and hope he has a decent career. Garcias first run in the UFC was terrible and I reckon his second run won go any smoother, the step up didnt seem to suit him.
