    I don't necessarily like the idea of waking up at 9 AM (central time) on a Saturday but I can't miss this fight

    So true, those Fight Nights have like 30 mins of b.s. between each fight it feels like.

    A lot of them are from their failed Asian expansion that they seemed to have fallen back from.

    The ones you should know (or are worth knowing) are

    Hyun Gyu Lim who trains with Dong Hyun Kim

    He also had that epic 5 round fight with Saffiedine where he got his leg basically disabled and still almost won at the end.

    Yui Chul Nam AKA The Korean Bulldozer, another very entertaining Korean fighter making his FW debut against Nover.

    Tae Hyun b---, another Korean finisher

    As for the rest

    Zhang Lipeng-TUF China left over

    Guanyou Ning-Won TUF China FW, but is dropping to BW

    Royston Wee-UFC literally signed him because they were going to Singapore and they had nobody else

    Mark Eddiva-From the Philippines, came into the UFC and beat over-hyped Chinese fighter Jumabieke Tuerxun and then got stopped by Kevin Souza, who is a very solid Brazilian prospect .

    Zhikui Yao-Random Chinese FLW who came in as a late replacement to fight Royson Wee at BW, dudes record is 1-2 lol

    Jingliang Li-Chinese fighter who has beaten David Michaud on the prelims of Barao/Dillashaw and then lost a close one to Nordine Taleb on the Rory Mac/Saff card. Hes one of the few UFC caliber guys imo.

    Roldan Sangcha-an-Phillipino brought in for that reason, got LNP'd by Richie Vaculik. Not UFC caliber.


    Think the UFC realized that Asia has very limited talent and they are just weeding these guys out .

    I don't think I'll even be able to wake up for any of this card, and I want to see it. :emoji_slight_frown:

    i actually recognise them 2 from the gifs wouldnt have just by their names, hyun gyu lim is a massive welterweight that saffedeine fight was great

    suprised the talent has been very limited coming from there, I thought they'd at least get a few who could really make it

    We got classic East Vs. West Coast in the main event. Edgar coming out to Kick In The Door by Biggie, Faber coming out to Pac's California Love.
