Should be a great card, too bad it looks like Uyenoyama is on the unaired portion though

That guy Luke Rockhold is from our school. The dude is a fucking handfull. He has great wrestling and great jiu-jits... he plowed through everyone last year and won the Mundial world championships in the Open Blue Belt division. Now he trains with AKA... keep and eye on this guy.

Lets go with Super Lightweight, that sounds the best.

Seriously though, Ludwig fights at welterweight these days so thats probably the reason for the odd number

Its almost an in between 'catch weight' kind of a fight,wont be detrimental to Edwards tho as hes a pretty big 155 pounder.Hope Ludwig wins,have had a soft spot for him since the early King of the Cage days when he was flattening cans left,right & center.Might be tough for him at short notice against Yves,but he can still swing it I reckon.
