Feb 2nd, did we miss it?

Its tomorrow the 22nd. Event on the 25th.

So what you guys think?...Niko or Lawler?
I think Niko gets this one. I really hope so. It will creat major buzz for the title match. I really think Niko is the better fighter (overall package) but Lawler showed in the UFC and last july that he can knock guys out. SHould be great, hope you guys go and support the local boy.

i'd like to see Niko win.

I hate to say this, but I think Lawler will win again. I like Niko because he is a talented local boy, however, I just think that as the fight go into the later round, Nico will lose his stamina. If you look at his last 2 fights, he was leading until the end of the middle round, where he lost the fight. I hope he prooves me wrong.

nah i think Niko is going to be getting some payback in this fight.

go for the KO Niko!!!

Lawler by KO Rd. 1
