For those of you new to the series, every Tuesday from June 18th until August 27th, with July 2nd off, top prospects and former UFC fighters will compete on a five-fight card with the opportunity to win a UFC contract. Some events, only one winner gets a contract, and others, multiple fighters are awarded that elusive contract.

Not that keen on this week's line-up.

Caracappa vs. Steele appears to be the best fight. I'm guessing the UFC wants Shazbazyan to join his brother on the roster given the main event slot. Never heard of 11-0 Brigagao, any info on him? Pogues I've heard of but I suspect he wins a decision so won't get a spot.
 
Last 5 opponents.

1-3
2-0
0-2
0-0
0-0

Yeah... there is a reason why nobody has heard of him.


Pogues wins then. haha.
I'm not being weird, but I have a big interest in the top 3 weight-classes (MW, LHW and HW) and consider myself to be clued up on prospects in those divisions. When some 11-0 guy turns up I've never heard of, even vaguely, i'm automatically suspicious.
 
Dang. That one girl looks kind of like Thug Rose... with hair.

You are? Then why the hell didn't you warn me last week about Knight!? I had my hopes up and everything!;)
