Nice read. I'd love to see him and Hornbuckle go at it later in the tourney.

Yeah I'm looking forward to a potential Hornbuckle fight, but with all of the trash talk, I have to say I'm getting suckered into a potential fight between Hieron and Lozano. That is, if Lozano pulls off the mild upset of Lyman Good in the opening round. I might pick him. He's definitely a legit prospect.

easily the most anticipated tourney of the season. i wanna see hornbuckle win but not sure if he'd beat Askren in a rematch.

Yeah Horbuckle is solid on his feet and great off of his back, but his TD defense is seriously lacking. At least against an Olympic-caliber wrestler. So I guess that's not too bad.

im hoping the tournament winner has formidable TDD otherwise they dont have much chance against Funky. would be interesting to see Hawn win the tournament but hed have to go through some pretty good fighters.to do so.

It would be interesting to see Hawn take on Askren. Unfortunately, as you suggested, I don't think he has a great chance of getting through this stacked field. By far the most stacked tournament of the season. Some of the other tournaments are somewhat lackluster IMO, especially the LHW tournament.
