Miller vs Maynard Next !!
miller will smash maynard
Gray Maynard is a clown. You sir, are correct. Miller Jim would put that clown out.
hows he a clown? jim miller would get wrestled to death
Miller already got smashed by Maynard
exactly what ruben said.. dumb ass “bcuz”… maynard would own jim miller again.
mike easton vs jared papazian was fight of the night idc what anyone says. and bary was knockout of the night that one is debatable though
I agree easton/papazian was fotn, but still liked denis nice standing elbows ko.
I don’t think they give bonuses to the prelims fighters. Easton and Papazian def shoulda got it.
it wasnt prelims it was the main card. Pat barry fought before them.
thats bs. Barry vs Moorecraft was good but def not fotn that shouldve gone to easton vs papazian easily. and sub of the night although millers was good neer choked a game ludwig unconscious. miller got the king of tapping out to tap out. the dentist shouldve taken home sub of the night. poor form dana.
Haha those little guys never got close to finishing eachother nor did they have the power to they need to kick everybody under 145 out its like watching junior high kids fight I know plenty of 12 year olds bigger than they are and more athletic
Yeah. I mean, the planet is full of kids who move and are strong as Urijah Faber. The name of that planet is Krypton!
Guillard vs Cowboy!
If Guillard fights Cerrone he will be receiving his walking papers. He is losing his “It” factor.
guillard would beat cerrones ass…….cerrone would not be able to take him down and melvins stand up is better. jim miller is bad ass with a good chin not much guys could take those shots
Either way, it either is going to be a FOTN… MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Cerrone also has a good chin, he stumbled around for 3 rds in his last fight. His striking is more diverse than Melvin’s and he can pull off a rear naked choke just like Guillard’s last two opponents.
shouldve been: Easton vs papazian fight of the night
Sub of the Night: Neer
KO of the night: Barry
whoever chose the bonuses i will slap them with my keyboard! muahaha! jk
+1
That blank stare on Melvin’s face after he lost worries me.
JOSH NEER should have gotten submission of the night!!
Josh Queer got lucky and I’m sorry any guy who tattoo’s his last name just above his ass likes getting it pounded.
lol
LOL, who’s queer anyway?
