The competition was no joke. Wilson beat that 17-year old kid, J.T. Torres, who is already a brown belt, in the first round. Then in the final he fought this guy named Justin Rainer (sp.?) who apparently has been on a roll as of late. Reis vs. Rainer was an awesome match. Brent:

And Bobby McMaster got <i>screwed</i> on the standup in the first round. He was being very active and got stood up for no reason.

I'd love to see what a Lumpini champ with other skills would look like. I'm guessing it would be a 155 lb version of Anderson Silva. Malaipet tonite – great Muay Thai, but nothing else.

If xc has the roster they have and trying to hang in there with ufc, then why an event like this without 1 recognizable name. i hear ur kinda involved with them via pro elite now sam so i hope you can still keep it real with us if does turn out as weak as it looks. ill watch the xc cuz im a hardcore mma fan, but i gotta say this fight card looks pretty weak, i have no idea who any of em are, seems like a kotc event.

Now, I know a bit more about what to look for tonight. Cheers. This is really helpful background info to help rope in those of us who don’t recognize a single name on that card.
