damn. thats short notice!!! but now it makes me feel much more comfortable picking almeida to win this fight...
EDIT:also i posted a highlight video of rob yundt on the video section if anyone is interested in seeing what these guy has to offer, seems to be a GnP wrestler, muscling out of subs, which i dont think he can against almeida

good news for Almeida imo....
he was gonna have his hands full with Belchers stand-up.....but I think he should take this fight quickly and by submission

I like Ricardo but with this new guy coming in I think they should have just put Marvin Eastman vs. Terry Martin on the main card instead of this fight.

Well poop. I was really wanting to see Belcher fight Almeida. I'm kinda starting to like Belcher, but I guess I'll just have to wait.

While it is good luck for Almeida.
I am completely disapointed with Alan Belcher. He used to be one of my top 10 favs. Guess what not anymore. I hate fighters that can't make weight.
It seriously is a joke!!!

Kind of bummed, I thought this was going to be a good one, but at least now, the pick is a bit easier.

Yeah, I was really looking forward to see how this one panned out. Belcher was a stiff test for someone out of MMA for that long and should have been a great fight.
