Is it just me or does the picture of Mitrione look photoshopped? He seems to look a bit too svelte on the poster.

He’s just sucking it in a bit

Probably so. Someone should also advise “Meathead” that the quasi-homeless look probably isn’t helping anything. It looks like Tim Hague is taking on a bum fights veteran.

What do these odds look like in relation to other events, and in relation to Henderson vs Babalu?

I’m very surprised by the severity of Melvin’s underdog status.

I have some thoughts about this card.

I am about to re-watch the Dunham-Sherk fight to get pumped up for the fights on the weekend.

If Evan Dunham wins, which I expect him to, who should he fight next? He has a loss to Sherk in a fight that I and many other people thought should have been a win for Dunham.
I see that Sherk doesn’t have an opponent scheduled yet and is expected to return in the Spring. I am wondering why there is such a long lay-off for Sherk when Dunham is already fighting. Is it because Sherk obtained an injury in the Dunham fight?
Any thoughts on who Sherk should fight next? What about a rematch with Dunham if Dunham wins this weekend? Any thoughts?

I am excited for the Miller-Wiman fight. It’s a tough one to call but I am picking Miller for his ground work and length, but who knows! Wiman is a tough dude.

I am also hoping we get to see a couple quick fights so we get a chance to see the McKenzie-Edwards fight. Anyone think McKenzie will have a chance against Edwards?

Melvin +200 is really making me reconsider my no-MMA-betting position

I think he has the tools to put Dunham in a bad spot.

Also, Cole Miller is doing his best JDS-face in that pic. It made me look twice.

Tatum: I think he's a good man. I like him. I got nothing against him, but I'm definitely gonna make orphans of his children.

Man, I didn’t notice it, but Miller does look like a small, white JDS in that picture. Crazy.

Is it just me or is this a very good lineup of fights for a free card? I’m excited to see those 5 main card matchups, and I’m sure we’ll see a few nice finishes from the undercard too, including (hopefully) a nice guillotine from McKenzie!. Can’t wait!
