@CollegeWolf nah man its fascinating, the hand battle is amazing, maia is so good but fitch is so stubborn; maia's takedowns have been stellar
@speeds_nbla @CollegeWolf I enjoyed it also. Maia is a total monster at 170. Watch out!
Bobby Green looked great, also. And he's got the most effective fighting style known to man: http://middleeasy.tumblr.com/post/21775736838/bobby-green-fighting-style-hood

@CollegeWolf If he can hit like that, coupled with his physical strength & wrestling, he's going to be a handful

@CollegeWolf Every fight on the prelims so far have delivered - hope it keeps up!
@speeds_nbla Both really good fights, and both totally different styles.
Don't know what Camus was thinking repeatedly taking Kimura to the ground - that kid is a submission savant.
jacob volkmann has a special post-fight speech planned, another winner i'm sure, looking forward to it...
