Charlie Brenneman -170..................................0.5 unit
Justin Edwards +135......................................0.5 unit -not really a fan of Edwards, but he looked good last fight and looks to be head hunting here
Cole Miller -130..............................................1.5 units -ATT reprazent
Derek Brunson +225.......................................0.5 unit -Yoel is no dount strong and HUGE for the weight class. Brunson is however a decent wrestler himself, and fast and athletic. I think his speed and athleticism here can keep him from getting stuck on the ground with Yoel for long periods, and gives him a chance at the Victory. +225 is definitely value here, but it does scare me that Brunson stayed at home in his little hometown with average sparring partners for this camp. Probably not the best idea, but we shall see.
Lorenz Larkin -225.........................................0.5 unit -Larkin reminds me and even looks like Carl "The Truth" Williams when he stepped on the scene as a good kickboxing nobody and took the K1 Tourney by storm. He soon fell off the map, and now still gets KO'd at local shows to date. this will be Mini Williams' toughest test to date I would think, but if he can avoid the KO Power of Tavares and use his speed to get up off the mat quickly if the fight goes there, then Larkin should win a close fight, if not KO Tavares by tiring him down and catching him.
Enjoy the fights tonight. Glad to see the UFC back in my backyard of Duluth, GA.
