I actually think that that fight will draw more interest. Eklund is from Europe, so he'll be the fan fave. Etim and Stout just did not appeal to me. I love the LW's though. Still may be a prelim match though.

I have never posted before, however after reading the last response I just had to. I guess I am confused why fans from England would rather see a guy from Sweden (Eklund) fight instead of Etim who is from England? Just thought it was odd.

You guys are right, I'm an idiot. I guess I just didn't do my homework. Eklund is a bigger name, though.
