There are some promising fighters on the preliminaries. Nice mix of vets, prospects, local and international talent. Certainly worthy of a two hour stream.

Seeing Figueroa on this card was a nice surprise. Can't wait for the rest of the fights to be announced.

Yeah, I saw a 10-0 BW on this card and I was like, "UFC haven't signed a 10-0 BW yet?"

But I looked at his record, saw his gym and I knew why right then and there. Team Xplode sucks. Not making the same mistake with Dashon Johnson. Fought a bunch of cans and debuting fighters.

He's fighting Sirwan, will be a good test to see if he's a legit prospect or not.

Sirwan had some hype coming into TUF 18 but lost to someone, think it was Beal.

Barajas is a physically strong wrestler looking to gnp. His standup arsenal lacks variety (measuring jabs)- often shooting takedowns without setting them up. He squeezes a neck tight.

The year-plus layoff bothers me a little; more so than the quality of opposition.

Problems arise when management and promotions are intertwined. Xplode puts on all kinds of mismatches, but I've never once suspected a fight fixed.

All a fighter can do is beat who's put in front of them.

Ray Sloan seems ok.

Sloan seemed to struggle a bit against his last opponent, but I think it had more to do with him being undersized than anything.

Just seems like that camp/promotion really stunts the growth of its fighters. Pointless mismatches. At least this will be a test.
 
Titan FC is doing a great job of giving the prospects decent tests too.
 
Figueroa is my hometown hero. He got me into bjj when he used to teach as a purple belt. Wish my fiance didn't hate jiujitsu or I would be training with him. Can't wait for him to make it to the ufc!
 
I wonder if Kakai or Barajas get the call to the big leagues if they win?
 
Titan FC is just quietly putting on solid cards again and again.
 
Titan is putting on some great shows. Full of depth and talent.
 
thats a solid card, i havnt seen hayder hassan fight since the miami strikeforce card. Guy looked like a beast there
