You're wrong about Dollar and Lowe. Nothing they've shown has indicated they will be in the mix in the present or future. Also, Lowe doesn't have a pleasing style.
As for Glenn vs. Pimentel, I can't be wrong. I picked Glenn. But he is a prospect (albeit a great one, IMO), that means he's not proven. He certainly could lose to a 12-0 fighter, regardless if he's 34 or not. There are a lot of 34 year olds who are contenders.

looks good. I can't wait. I really liked WSOF but i have to admit it's gone down the slightest bit with the new that Tyrone Spong may no longer be involved with the promotion. I still can't wait for the card. I also hope Sherdog carries the prelims again, even thought the last time was a bit of a clusterfuck.

There are ver very few 34 year olds that are "contenders" at FWT... Sandro, kawajiri, Siver... my point really was that he's been realatively inactive over the past 3 years and Glenn has been active and on a tear..
you could be right about Dollar and Lowe.. lowe's style is very boring.. I would just expect them both to come out and try to make a statement..

Wow, great card. Looking forward to it.
Dave Branch Vs. Paulo Filho should be good.

Burkman-Simpson, not particularly interested.
Same thing goes for Filho-Branch.
As for JZ-Gaethe, it depends on Gaethje. JZ looks like a shell of his former self. I've never seen Gaethje, but he's undefeated and could make a name off JZ.
Not interested in Dollar-Lowe.
Not interested in another overhyped Gracie.
The best fight of the card might be Glenn-Pimentel and it may not even be available anywhere. Glenn is a stud, and he faces a stern test in Pimentel.
It's an alright card overall. I'll definitely at least DVR it.

DVR it? that card is as good as most Bellator events, not sure why you wouldnt watch it.

That's crazy about Simpson, didn't know that.

Decent card.
Arlovski vs. Rumble should be interesting, Moraes vs. Nam should be good and JZ vs. Gaethje could be good, but I'm not sure as JZ hasn't looked that good in a while and I've never seen Gaethje, so I'm not sure what to expect. The other 2 main card fights are rather uninteresting to me.
The preliminary card is rather forgettable with the exception of Glenn vs. Pimentel which could be good.
There's still a ton of other fighters they've signed that aren't on this card which sucks, hopefully they'll put them on the next card.
