Main card▪ Light Heavyweight bout:  Ricardo Arona vs.  Marvin Eastman The main event of the evening is the return of the "Brazilian Tiger" who has not competed since 2007. The former Pride FC stalwart returns to action against the "Beastman" who is coming off a win at MFC 21. Marvin is best suited for Middleweight though he has plenty of experience at Light Heavy. The size and power of Arona is not to be overlooked though one has to worry about the ring rust. Still, barring the shocking upset loss, expect Ricardo to take Marvin down and punish him with that old G&P style. What we need to watch, is if Arona can return to form and perhaps land a job at one of the elite MMA companies.
WINNER-Ricardo Arona Rd.2 TKO
▪ Light Heavyweight bout:  Paulo Filho vs.  Alex Schoenauer "Ely" is back home to re-establish himself much like his BTT counterpart above. He gained the title in WEC after the fall of Pride FC only to fail to make weight in a rematch with Chael Sonnen, and a subsequent trip to rehab for pills. Now after an armbar defeat of Melvin Manhoef in July, Filho tries to put away the tough Alex Schoenauer of Xtreme Couture. Considered a "journeyman" Alex has fought some very tough people and is looking for his 1st fight since the IFL. Good money is on Paulo putting away Alex just as Ricardo will most likely put away Eastman. Guts alone may help Schoe survive till the end.

▪ Heavyweight bout:  Pedro Rizzo vs.  Jeff Monson A rematch from 2007 when the "Rock" put away the "Snowman" but times change. Monson has won 7 fights in a row while Pedro has lost 2 in a row and has not been able to come close to his old self. Look for Jeff to get his way this time around with a ground war and eventual loss on points.

▪ Light Heavyweight bout:  Murilo Rua vs.  Alex Stiebling Both men love to hit and miss and strike wildly, but "Ninja" has faced much tougher competition and had more success. Bang exchange and someone drops.

▪ Middleweight bout:  Leandro Silva vs.  Cassiano Tytschyo A guy named Silva in Brazil, no shit. Anyway, both guys are decent strikers who are both coming off losses. This is a coin flip fight but I'll take....
