what do you think about the lineup? i'd say they have some pretty sweet matchups. for a group with not that much mileage behind them they have rounded up some talented fighters...

these are some pretty good fights...i'd love to see it.

i think its hilarious trigg had to go to ICON so he could get a championsip belt

This is a pretty good card and I'm definitely looking forward to it. Trigg/Jorge, Shields/Charuto, Diaz/Denny, Jacare/Macaco, and Sperry/Sims should all be good matches. I'm really interested in seeing Jacare make his US debut in MMA. He's an excellent grappler who recently went to a draw with Randy Couture in a grappling match.

Ivan Jorge will should give Trigg a tough fight. He's an undefeat Carlson Gracie/Brazil fighter. He has a very good ground game and Trigg needs to watch out for that RNC.

Shields and Diaz are a welcome addition to any card. Both guys are top 10 WW and give it their all every time. It's nice to see Shields on a US PPV because he usually fights on the smaller shows that we only get to see on the internet.

All in all it was a good job by the GFC matchmaker. It probably won't sell well, but it has hardcore MMA fans like me interested.

Diaz vs. Denny should be a banger

i've never seen denny fight. is he that good? anyone got any quick links to youtube vids of wildman denny?

At least Trigg is still fighting so you have to give him respect. Mayhem Miller is no chump so it was a good victory for Trigg.
