Joe Duarte vs Ulfrano "Frano" Rodriguez {Duarte's last MMA fight}
Frano was 5-1 before this fight. Very talented wrestler, which Duarte choked out.
Frano won all 5 fights by dominate ground positon. Choke or Submission strikes.

wtf....there's no way this guy makes 155. Look at those traps...they are bigger than my f'in head!!

LOL! Yeah, no one is going to disagree that the guy is huge for 155. Who know's maybe he's closer to 5'8". If he can cut to 155 and still fight, he's going to be intimidating.

Can we confirm this full list now? Mark Hughes is on the show?

no.. it is mostly all correct with a few exceptions..
mark hughes being a big question mark.

Sorry I don't have time to read through the thread but Spencer Paige has posted on a local website (MASSMMA) that he was in Vegas for a week but that he did not make it onto the show. I'm assuming that means he lost in the 1st round which is surprising to me from what I've seen of his skills.

In high school, Mark Hughes BEAT Matt Hughes in a state wrestling tournament.

Mark was always a better athlete...but I don't think at this point he'd be anywhere near as good as Matt has been.

Kinda like Gleason Tibeau...he cuts alot and always comes in lookign huge

That Army pic with the traps, he 215, and it says he walks around more at 185-190, thats that a more reasonalbe cut but by no means easy....i'm sure in training camp he hovers at 170 ish, doing the last 15 in the weeks before the fight

Duarte and Browning look good in their vids
