Future contender Niinimäki is on this card, so watch for that. Yes he lost his last one but that was to the future and first Swedish champ. Or so I tell myself anyway.

Idea for later: it'd be cool if people made threads for underappreciated dudes with why they are cool. I think we did something like that a long time ago, or just did a bunch of things about people in the WW division or something. I can't remember.

Lipeng won TUF: China
O'Reilly lost the first episode of TUF: Nations

The significance of this fight is thus: the very worst Australian guy vs the very best Chinese guy. Giving us a definitive idea of the relative badness of two countries that are bad at MMA.

(I train with Brendan and I hope he wins, he's nice)

Now 1-3 Chinese flyweight beating down the Wee man was pretty great. I wonder if Yao gets another fight for that. He's 1-3 and 'lost' but its not like any of the Chinese fighters have winning records/are good besides The Leech.
