But what if Hernandez wins? I don't see a fight with Vernon Lewis on his record. It sounded like they both lost to Vernon or something, maybe I misunderstood. Ill check another site just in case. I was actually leaning towards Hernandez winning due to his only loss being by Copeland by decision but I may have to actually do some digging to see why you think that way.

I meant the winner should fight Lewis basically. And sometimes I make my picks using nothing but speculation and not reality. :P Hernandez logicially should win of course, but Lundsford has a crazy Emmanuel Newton style comeback ability where he pulls out wins when he is getting beat up.

Hernandez winning would setup some good fights though like Lewis, or even a lower profile but just as challenging fight like Jeremy Hardy.

Well it was pretty much now or never, he's getting older and hasn't been active, so this was his time. Good signing overall, I'd like to see Goltsov next, then East if he wins versus Cason.

Shamil, Malikov, and Grabowski are nearing the ends of their high level combat lifespan (or may have already passed them), so the quicker they get some wins and get into a big organization the better. They won't have another chance if they don't.
 
well good for him,. He's a solid talent. Hope he's getting paid what he deserves, and not treated like trash. And gets to where he wants to be

Will Perak be able to overcome a 40-50 pound weight difference paired with a young fighter who also has a speed and power advantage? I highly doubt it, I think he's getting wrecked.

Darn. Maybe they can grab Lewis or Hardy on short notice.

The news is they got a replacement and its "a big name" but they are getting the contract and stuff figured out. Any guesses?
 
As a side note, I messaged Tanner Boser on Twitter and asked to see if he was staying at HW, going to LHW, or doing both, and he stated he's a HW until someone proves he shouldn't be. I've added him to my list since he's a good prospect and now that he's at HW, he's going to start adding more W's to his name.

He fights Hague next for the Unified MMA HW title in March. If he keeps winning, in a year or so down the road we may see him fight Rama if both are still on the market.

I think Rama would be the man to prove he shouldn't be at HW.lol

Haha, that may be true, although it's funny since Rama is in all likelihood a tad smaller than Tanner.

I'd like to see a good warmup line for Tanner. Hague, Hudson, Houle, and Tony Lopez for 2015, then Rama if Rama is still floating around.

P.S. Congrats on losing the dubs! Welcome back to the land of edits and posting. :P

Thank you! It was a dark and scary time, and I thought it would never end!
