Actually looks decent for a low-level, but good, feeder promotion. Jmac (I hate him) and Luigi look like winners to me.

MFC just signed Thales too! They should match up J Mac with him after he beats up lutter.

Da Aflete should beat Lutter around for a while, then get the TKO in the second when Lutter is so tired he can’t remember his own name. Spratt is a tool and Jimmo is kind of a big deal.

MFC puts on solid events. I am a fan.

By the way, I became a BIG fan of Tyron Woodley who beat the snot out of Zach Lyght – that moronic wrestling coach for Wolfslair that thought Bisping would outwrestle Hendo.

Woodley is a big time prospect. Definitely improving and very talented. He’s also very smart about his career. He’s moving down to ATT florida so expect to see his skills leapfrog.

You mean Antonio “I Cant See Past the Color of My Skin” McKee?

Antonio ‘17 decisions in 22 wins, and one of my stoppages was due to a knee injury’ McKee.

And we thought Tyson and Maynard were bad…

McKee though has explicitly stated that he doesn’t care to show an ounce of excitment in his fights. He does something very well and no one has been able to stop him from using it. He only cares about winning which i can respect in a world of stand and bangers. I still say though he’s a way better trainer/coach.
