    I think the actual show finishes at 4:30 looking at it... might watch the prelims anyway. Im interested to see what will happen between Barry and Hardonk. Barry wants Crocop, If he wins I could see it happen, If UFC is willing to show Houston vs Kimbo because its a guarenteed standup war im sure they would give us Barry vs Crocop

    It'd be hilarious if CroCop just took him down and tapped him!

    Which is what might happen tonight. Hardonk has very under-rated ground skills.

    Yeah mate I think Hardonk is just going to take him down and keep top position tonight if like Barry says he used to beat him all the time in Kickboxing training. Hardonk is much much better on the ground as you said. I think I predicted a UD because I dont think he has quite the Skills to pull out a sub because Barry is very powerfull and Squat.... What did u predict?

    I went with Barry by KO in the first, the only reason i did that was because i was still laughing at the video of him doing the techno viking dance thing and thought i'd pick him.

    Barry + techno viking... please post it!!! I really Like Barry just for the fact that he trains under Hoost. I think Hoost was one of a Kind, The Retired fighter I miss most out of any combat sport id say. Just seeing Hoost in Barrys corner makes me hope of him... that and Ill hope for a pure striker 90% of the time anyway!

    Hardonk is a cool guy too, He beat Wes Simms who I hate, and KO's some Robbers... and TKO'd the best N.Irish hope in MMA Colin Robinson with a Single leg kick!!! lol! Colin Robinson!! Fuck me can us Irish (Or N.Irish to be PC) not produce a better representitive than Colin "Ive got a pitbull tattoo but cant take 1 Leg Kick" Robinson!!!

    Fair point. The thrill of a good night of MMA will keep me buzzing anyway! I do kind of love these MMA marathons that come around every now and then.

    As you know i'm not a fan of UK MMA but it's a pity there's not an event on that would fill some time.

    Or a big boxing fight would be even better.
