A lot of easy picks for me

What is your opinion of the main event? Do you think Leben is worth a play? I'm having a hard time breaking this one down. I see Munoz ground and pounding , but Munoz's wrestling hasn't always been as crisp as advertised.

I think there will be better value on this card. In general, there's way more value in new guys, and the smaller the cards are -- the better value there is.

The flip side is -- more time and research is needed to prepare. However -- well worth the upside.

Wonder if vaughany will bet on vaughan lee

ha May well do tht...actually have a brother called Lee Vaughan!

I've also rolled in same class as Vaughan Lee a couple times before, albeit not directly with him as he'd have made me tap like a bitch! Dude has serious BJJ game

I like Njokuani over Taylor

I like Munoz a lot in this one. I already have Munoz as the last leg of 4 parlays for big payout, so I'll be hedging with Leben KO of the Night at +500 or better or Leben by TKO (Njokuani or somebody else could get a more devastating/impressive KO as well (gonna be a lot of stand-up battles on this card).

It kills me to say this but I really don't know most of the fighters on this card.

I'm fading Chris Cope until the day I die. Just hated that guy on TUF.
