Lando Vannata just became a hotter property. Green's last chance to make a major statement, I would think.

Green has been way more show than fight in his recent outs. Really annoying to watch. Hope he turns up the heat in this one.

I hope so but green has been relatively benign

more competitive IMO Abel would've been hitting air all night long

I like the Groovy one but I think Green will make a statement and get that finish

He has but man can he explode at a moments notice. Hope this fight brings out the best in both guys.

Lando's one of the good guys and should get to showcase his skillset in this fight.

I've got Green here too.

Great replacement.

He may well prove to be a poor mans Bobby Green, and both of em could do with learning the same lesson
