Damnit Kyle, take your beating so I can get my TKO perfect.  Gegard looked solid.  This card has got me excited for late spring in the UFC.

Yeah I hope he does fight at MW in the UFC. But he said he would just drop if he losses to Kyle so Idk he might try it at 205 first

Anyways War Mousasi !

8 for 8 w/ 4P... doing very well so far, unlike @JM.

The Couture decision is gonna screw me out of being 11/11. Oh well, this card was nothing but mis-matches anyways. Pretty easy to pick.
