Machester England, so prelims start early today!
Lyoto Machida vs. Mark Munoz
Melvin Guillard vs. Ross Pearson
Ryan Jimmo vs. Jimi Manuwa
Norman Parke vs. Jon Tuck
Nicholas Musoke vs. Alessio Sakara
Phil Harris vs. John Lineker
Piotr Hallmann vs. Al Iaquinta
Luke Barnatt vs. Andrew Craig
Jessica Andrade vs. Rosi Sexton
Cole Miller vs. Andy Ogle
Jimy Hettes vs. Robert Whiteford
Michael Kuiper vs. Brad Scott
Couple of thoughts before we dive into the lines. I think the Ogle/Miller matchup is pretty bad for Ogle even though I love him. Miller should be able to out-box and out-strength him. Like Jimy Hettes taking fight on short notice. The woman fight should be awesome as Sexton is a pioneer with a great chin and Andrade looking for her first win in the octagon after losing to strikes from Liz Carmouche. Luke Barnatt was a favorite of mine on TUF, so it will be interesting to see how he does vs the VERY impressive Andrew Craig. Hallman and Iaquinta have had impressive showings lately too. Lineker is very one-dimensional but his game is beastly. Interested in seeing Norman Parke again but haven't heard of Jon Tuck. Ryan Jimmo and Jimi Manuwa should be a slug fest, or Jimmo will wrestle him up against the cage ala Cain. Lastly, Guillard/Pearson shouldn't go to the judges. No interest in the main event, as I hate Machida's style (albeit admittedly effective), it's just rarely fun to watch.
