I am guaranteed Stann/Soszynski, which holds literally no appeal to me whatsoever. And while I like watching Professor X, I hate to say it, but homeboy ain't that great, and Denis Kang sure as hell isn't anymore either. Its like watching a ESPN2 card with a couple washed up middleweights in a tussle that's 5 years late in the making, except that in order to view it, you have to roll the dice, pay $45, and hope some people get stopped in the first.

Sure Leites is outmatched, and it lacks a bit of star power, but Liddell/Shogun should be interesting and Cane/Cantwell is a great match between up and comers. Add in the debut of Prof. X and the return of Loiseau on the underacrd and I think there's a lot of interesting stuff going on here.
