Armstrong gets his revenge. Bass, sadly your number is next!

[HyacinthusTurnipseed]

Preliminary 1 Jem Driscoll Paul Ingle 1-1 1 SD 12 12

I've never had the odds thing exactly explained to me, but doesn't "1-1" mean Paul Ingle is considered pretty much just as good as Jim Driscoll? Could be worth considering as a 3rd fighter option, if so. Also, is he related to the software developer somehow?

[BoxBuzz]

Good point....and Ben Jordan is having a pretty good season as well.....the truth is out there!

[Crease]

,Pedroza Vs Davis

You did not post up my guy's fight, Mr Buzz. Luckily we know the result, but we would still like to read the script.
