[Romdawg88]

[B]Shane Gilchrist[/B] vs Scott Andrews = Gilchrist will use his striking advantage to score a second round KO. Xie Ming Vs. [B]Grant Coombes[/B] = Both will want to stand and trade but Coombes better all-round game will give the win. Coombes will either take Ming out standing or if Ming gets the upper hand standing Coombes will put him on his back and pound him out. Coombes TKO 3. Nicholas Clements Vs. [B]Chris O'Brien[/B] = Clements best takedowns are from the clinch which will play into O'Brien's game.
