We must be looking at a different card. Some of those match-ups, although not very relevant in their respective divisions, are really good.

Which ones?
I think it's a petty poor PPV.
But has to happen when we've be spoiled with the big cards before and after

I love watching Thug Rose fight so there's that.
Same goes for Matt Brown - I think he's an exciting fighter
Flyweight bout between McCall and Scoggins should be a good scrap

Rose is great, but Kowalkiewicz is not on her level.
I think Scoggins and Brown win easily.

3 good fighters, but not expecting close fights there.
The main here is the only fight I've much interest

cant see tyron causing robbie any problems in this but the the way titles are passing around lately you wouldnt know, still a late lawler tko is my prediction, also, didnt ross pearson fight like 2 weeks ago? animal!

I am looking forward to the main event for sure but dont think ill buy this one but i might stay up and watch it. I bought 199, 200 and ill buying 202/203 so ill give this one a break. It would be a fight night card minus the main event but there is some good fights. Cant wait to see Rose, Pearson and Creepy fight

I've only seen a few Lawler fights and he does seem to get hit a bit in them. Woodley looks to be a powerful puncher so that could be a bad match up.

I was impressed with Kowalkiewicz in her last fight I think Rose is very beatable, must check out odds for that fight.

She did well but her opponent was one of the TUF girls wheeled out to be beaten imo.
Rose is beatable too of course, lost to Carla in the TUF finale.
Rose is 2/5
KK is 11/5

Didn't McCall retire recently or am I imagining things?

Woodley did not deserve a title shot and really annoyed me the way he kept whining about it but that doesn't mean he won't win this fight. I think he's a bad styles matchup for Robbie, on top of that they train together so he'll know all about him. I know the same applies for Robbie but Robbies alot more one dimensional then Woodley who is really well rounded. Winning of the fight for Woodley is taking Robbie down but Robbie's TDD is superb. Really tough one to call this. Could go either way.

I don't know too much about it but in embedded they said they have different gyms and never really trained together. Either way I don't see Robbie losing this one over 5 rounds. I think he'll come on strong late and Woodley will fade out. I'm going with a 4th round finish for Robbie

Not that I had heard.

On McCall, he always struck me as the kind of guy who is not 100% commited to fighting or reaching the very highest levels. The kind of guy that's just making a few quid doing something he enjoys but doesn't nessecarily love.

Does he have other professional interests?

I think Scoggins will handle him easily enough to be honest for a very one sided decision win.

He was going to after nearly losing his bad after a really bad infection, such a nice bloke he was an absolute gent in Dublin. Glad to see him back his fights are always good.

Tyron used to train at the ATT in Florida but now runs one in Missouri. He used to do all his camps at the Florida ATT. They know each other pretty well. They were in the Florida gym at the same time and Robbie actually got Tyron a fight on the Lawler/Shields Strikeforce card when he was only 2-0.

Does the main card still start at 3 yes? Considering there's one less fight. Half holding out hope that we've a half hour less to wait up for the title fight :P

Benoit vs Serrano has been moved from the fight pass premlims to the opening fight on the main card.

Yep 3 start , they obviously were not going to leave a main portion of a PPV a fight short, Serrano/Benoit moved to main card. Matt Brown/Ellenberger fight seems your best possibility of getting to title fight a bit quicker

Matt Brown is an absolute warrior. Always a pleasure to watch that man fight.
