I hope Gracie gets the win but this was bad match making. He should't be fighting someone so established in his first fight at a new weight. Jardine is very equipped to at least defend submissions & Gracie will probably have trouble getting him down to begin with. Jardine's awkward striking will give him a lot of problems.

Not a bad little card. I don't know how exciting it will be, but it will be competitive.

My picks: Rockhold, Woodley, Jardine, and Larkin.

I think Marquardt handles Woodley if his weight cut goes OK. If not, he'll lose a decision.

I'm just glad they finally matched Jardine up with someone who won't knock him out.

I support the Armed Troops and all, but, I really don't want to listen to Kennedy go on and on again.

Let's not say that for sure. If you can throw a left hook, you can knock out Keith Jardine.

The undercard is pretty solid also, for SF anyways.

I think Rockhold is the real deal, but this is a really tough fight for him. I went ahead and took him anyway.

Rockhold missed weight didn't he?

Weighed in later at 185.

I was out and about and missed that, thanks.

Prelims are on. Stinson is getting dominated.

Are you at the event or watching the prelims somewhere? I couldn't find them anywhere, may be different in Canada though as we see these events on Superchannel.

If anyone has a stream could you please PM me a link? Thanks.
