This should be a good fight. I wonder if it will be on the maincard or undercard.

I don't know who I will go with yet. I may take Pettis.

Should be a good fight, I want to go with Karalexis, but I think I will probably pick Pettis based on that I think he has the better ground game of the two, if he chooses to stand he'll probably get KO'ed.

I hope we see a brawl in this fight. If that happens ill still with Karalexis.
