1am is 2am over here in the Netherlands, this is just horrible. Aren't there any early prelims on fightpass or something?

Ain't staying up for this card.

What I like about this card is that the top three fights - OSP vs. Bader, Maynard vs. Pearson, and Tavares vs. Boetsch are a bit difficult to predict. Bader could potentially wrestle him to death but OSP is a good finisher; Maynard will be hungry for another win but Pearson might have the striking advantage; both Brad and Boetsch are coming off a bad loss but they both seem extremely confident that they'll win, etc.

Anyway, I'm in.

 

[Drunken Blindness]

I am just here for the violence.

Agreed. I'm picking Bader in the main. I just think he's better.

I think Maynard is being very underrated going into this fight. I saw the bloody elbow staff picks and not a single person picked him (i think). I'm picking Tavares as well but it is a worth noting that Boetsch is from the area and will be the hometown guy tonight. So maybe that pumps him up.

I also think Bader takes it. I have no clue about Maynard vs Pearson, and I want Boestch to rebound but I'd certainely favor Brad here. I also think Seth will submit the new guy. The card is still pretty decent but like for Tulsa, it has been crippled by injuries. I havent seen the weigh ins, was Thiago Tavares looking drained at FW?

 

[europe1]

St. Preux can be pretty crafty with his submission, though he rarelly shows it. Wonder if that will be a factor.

 

[GrAtI]

war OSP.

Can't stand FS2 prelims cos Comcast still doesn't have it.

I'll have to find a stream for them.

[Philippou4Life]

I didn't quite buy into the OSP hype until after his last fight.

Bader looked pretty good in his last two fights but I haven't been totally impressed by him since he almost finished Texieria.

This one could go either way. I think it may depend on gameplan and mentality for this one.
