not much time, hopefully i can get back later. i have looked at this card pretty close.

live dogs

  • galvao
  • hicks
  • cardella
  • garcia
i bet brown, osawa, pierce and cardella. i think brown handles garcia, but i completely understand playing garcia too.

this show is on Versus tonite. DON'T miss it!!! McCullough vs Hicks should be great. hell, all these fights are damn good. WEC is never boring.
 
Garcia +165
Hicks +125

I'll be happy with the split but think both dogs have a legit shot. Good luck.
 
Garcia +165
Hicks +125

I'll be happy with the split but think both dogs have a legit shot. Good luck.

i think both guys will have their chances. i have a suspicion razor rob could be shot. hicks will find out.
 
Boring first round. About even with a slight edge to Hicks maybe for landing a couple of those lefts.
 
Hicks with an early chance but couldn't hold the guillotine. McCullough really turned it on after that.

Hicks looks done.
 
hicks never really engaged except for that one shot and the guillotine attempt....

VERY weak fight!
