Brian McLaughlin is the nastiest submission grappler you will ever see. a star in the making for sure. keep an eye on him. 5-0 all first round submissions.

guida is nice, got some decent submission wins. doesn’t have quite as an exciting pace as clay, but should win a fight or two on the show. kyle kingsbury hasn’t been getting any talk but he’s a bad ass lhw, trains with AKA. lhw Eliot marshall has real nice jiu jitsu, check out his fight with sursa and altman. lance evans is tough to find info on. he appears chubby and none of his 4 fights have made the second round, winning one ny submission, one ny knockout, getting knocked out twice. bader is 7-0 with only one decision. he looks well rounded and in shape and ud have to agree with white that he looks like a potential winner. antwain britt also appears out of shape but has 3 devastating finishes on his record. charles diaz, out of san diego, is supposed to be a stud but he should be fighting at 170, not 205. look for him to put on a war but get controlled in the opening round of 32. I do not understand this one, karen grigoryan. he weighs 155 and is listed as an lhw on the show. I thought his listed weight might have been a mistake but his previous fights are against lightweights??? si.com must have made a mistake, he must be a lightweight. anyway got to go. check out sugar shane nelson and everyone should know polakowski. email me at aaronmilner@hotmail.com

oh yeah Lance Evans is the older brother of UFC light heavyweight Rashad Evans and Jason Guida is the brother of UFC lightweight Clay Guida.

Shane Nelson is one of BJ Penn’s better prospects.

John Polakowski is one of Chuck Liddells teamates at the pit.

Eliot Marshall is former Ring of Fire LHW champ, and very accomplished in the BJJ world. He also trains at Jackson’s with Rashad, Jardine, GSP, Marquardt, etc…

Krzysztof Soszynski is a former heavyweight competitor in the IFL.

Dana White says to watch out for Joseph Duarte who fights out of Unleashed Training Facility in California in the light weight division.

as for heavy weight division they say keep an eye on Bader. he comes from Trevor and Todd Lally’s Arizona Combat Sports, the same gym where C.B. Dalloway, Jamie Varner, Steve Steinbess, Ray Steinbeiss, and other top MMA fighters train.

but who knows who will win. they said C.B. was a sure shot last season.
