7. Jason Reinhardt
8. Alan Berubie
9. Leigh Remedios
10. Noah Thomas
11. Cory Hill
12. Jamie Varner
13. Cole Miller
14. Jason Dent
15. Manvel Gamburyan
The guys I’m looking forward to seeing the most are Manvel, Gabe, and Emerson. (The local Guys)
I have never seen Manvel fight but I heard he tools some top BJJ guys when he trains with them. I also know he has taken out TUF contestant Sam Morgan so he should have no problem dealing with tough strikers.
I know Emerson can hang with any of these guys. He has fought tough tough competition and has the speed and strength to take the whole thing. I just wonder if he is gonna be the guy who I saw dominate Julian Samaniego and Jamie Schmidt or the fighter who dinked around in the ring against Joe Camacho. If he shows up and keeps his fights standing he could win it all.
I’m also excited to see Godzilla fight and to see him in the reality portion of the show as well. I think he has a good personality and it will show. I think he has a good shot of winning it all but he may have troubles with guys that can keep it standing.

Anyone ese think it is messed up that Joe Lauzon KOed Jens Pulver, and then goes on TUF 5? Where’s his title shot?
Leigh Ramedios, well his credentials aren’t that great, but neither were any of the TUFers other than Forrest and Bisping.
Must say, I am looking forward to seeing Cory hill. Oakley said he was 6′5″ and a solid wrestler or something, so he may have that Tim Sylvia advantage over alot of the others.
I wanna see Manvel too. He decisioned Morgan, but he straight up KOed Jorge in the fight before that.
Should be an interesting season.
Professor Yang doing the recaps again?
