Looks to be a pretty solid card with some UFC level ramifications for the winners of these fights.
Best fight on the card(that locals are the least interested in):
Patrick Valée vs. Brandon Thatch
Great matchmaking by Patry here, pure genius. Both these guys could end up fighting in the UFC but the winner probably needs one more victory to end up there. I'm picking the American by TKO/KO round 1.
Second best fight:
Tim Wadsworth vs. Waylon Lowe
Two wrestlers with skills face off. Winner probably gets a shot in the UFC. It'll be interesting to see how Wadsworth deals with the big step up in competition as well as how he'll deal with a westler. Wadsworth by decision or late stoppage.
Martin Grandmont vs. Pete Spratt
Should be a very entertaining fight. If Grandmont wins this and beats Baroni in his next fight he could be UFC bound. As long as he keep his chin tucked early he should win this. That being said I think Spratt catches him early. Spratt by KO round 1.
Patry has always put together solid cards, I look forward to seeing more of them in the future.
not bad on your picks Downtown.
Thatch wins KO at 15 secs first round
Spratt wins by TKO in second.
Very proud of my guys, and we look forward to returning on INSTINCT MMA soon. Patry took care of them well.

Really happy to see my buddy Ricky Goodall get the W last night.
