[The Cork]

Nice card for once, haven't been too impressed lately.

I'll go with Bendo to shutout Melendez on the scorecards, Cormier to toss around Mir like a ragdoll before knocking him out, Mendes & Brown via wrestlefuck and Thomson to win an ugly brawl.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

I absolutely love this card. Some of my personal favorites like Mir, Diaz, and Hardy on the card. Also like Bendo, Cormier, and Mendes a lot. This should be an excellent card, I'm really surprised Dana has put together some great FOX cards recently. I know January wasn't that great, but the December one was very enjoyable.

 

[No More Sorrow]

I like that Mendes-Guida fight, it's the first real challenge Mendes has had since he fought Aldo.

Another good card and even better that it is a free show. Mainevent should be a cracking fight, I think that Bendo can get the win here and I agree that it will go to the judges. Cormier is going to be too good for Mir but hopefully Mir can last for a round or two before Cormier finishes him.

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

I miss Mir in the octagon so much, even if he's an underdog never count him out from breaking someone's arm or putting them in a choke or leg lock.

 

[The Cork]

I like Mir too, can't see him taking down Cormier though and his stand up is atrocious.

 

[Slim]

Mir is training with the Greg Jackson camp for this fight so I'm interested to see how this is gonna do when he steps in there.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Clay Guida injured and off this card, Mendes just can't catch a break.

 

[The Cork]

Don't think anyone is gonna miss Running Man too much.

 

[Slim]

Well Mendes needs someone that will at least fight... not just bounce around and run laps around the octagon.

 

[No More Sorrow]

They should do Edgar/Mendes but honestly that could be a potential FX main event or something. Couldn't see them using Edgar on an already stacked card like this one.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Yeah now Mendes can have an actual fight, not a marathon trying to chase Guida down.
