Ryan Bader is one tough guy from a great camp. I'll be cheering for him. Don't think he will win but I think he is a very good fighter.

I'd like to see Soszynski do well at LHW... Gonna have to figure out a nickname for him though, IMO it's a good Polish name, but I think some Americans will have a tough time with it, lol

Some of their last names look familiar so I'm wondering if they are relatives of the current stars?
