    *Johnson will not stick at heavyweight, says it's pretty much 1 and done
    *Nam's first fight since he knocked out Bellator's 135 champ Eduardo Dantas in August
    *Gaethje is an undefeated lightweight prospect out of the Grudge Training camp in Colorado

      Problem with the cage yesterday threatened the show but they apparently have borrowed one and assumption is it'll be approved before the prelims kick off at 6:30.

          Fun....even with the wonky production.

          Gaethje looked good going after JZ with a whole variety of strikes opening up a deep gash on his head. Doctor had to stop it. Prospect now has some hype to him.

          How about that, Burkman knocked out Aaron Simpson in a couple minutes....THEN says Jon Fitch doesn't deserve a title fight with him? I don't get it, WSOF has no titles and Burkman essentially said Fitch doesn't deserve to fight him.

          Paulo Filho looked like shit. Whether a reported panic attack earlier in the week was the reason or not, just fuck this dude already. Fuck the people around him. Fuck the ref for not stopping the fight during one of the many exchanges where Branch was landing 20 or so unanswered strikes. Fuck Branch for not being able to finish. Whole thing left a bad taste.

          Marlon Moraes threw a head kick which looked like it only grazed Tyson Nam but it caught him off guard or whatever because he was stunned and then the Brazilian pounced and ended the fight. Sucks for Nam, never looked comfortable in there. Good for Moraes.

          Rumble looked explosive at heavyweight...despite gassing about midway through the 2nd. He was packing plenty of power and nearly finished Arlovski at the end of the 1st. Andrei never was in a position to win. Johnson's going back to 205, smart.

              Burkman has a good point, he's 2-0 now and Fitch hasn't done shit. Burkman is right, Fitch has no business in a title fight until he wins a fight or two.

                  Oh, and fuck Filho. He should never be booked again, by anybody.
