^ Efrain Escudero and Alex Soto are from Mexico.
Escudero is on a 2 loss streak and might get another chance, but this is already his second stint in the UFC. He's a middle of the road fighter at best.
Soto is new to the UFC, he got owned by Michael McDonald's fists in his first UFC fight, so, cant judge him too much yet. He's facing a Mexican American fighter in Francisco Rivera, who puts a lot of power into his punches and has a good chin. I think Soto will land some shots but will get finished by Rivera.
There's also Miguel Torres, who's Mexican American. He also got KO`ed in his last fight against Michael McDonald.
There's some other half breeds too, but whatever.

For people who won't get Lawlers costume tribute:
which itself was a tribute to Buckethead.

The strength difference in this fight is huge. Vera is so much stronger.

I'm on my way home. Soto reminds me of Danny Downes, a weakling of sorts that has some talent but cant do shit againt physically stronger fighters who have good chins, which most featherweight to lightweeights do. If you've seen Rivera fight, you know he has to be submitted or killed to be put away. He would be a threat if he was more technical, he's like the Hawaiian guy who just beat Hominick.

K, I'm here!
I tuned in just to see McKenzie get his hand raised.

Does anyone get this image when you try to view UFC on Facebook? This started happening a few days ago for me, and also, MMAJunkie.com shows a "we're under construction" logo when I'm on my PC, but not my phone. Both sites work fine with Internet Explorer. I use FireFox and don't have any problem with other sites aside those two mentioned, which started late last week.
I just updated by Adobe Flash and Shockwave players, so that's not the issue. And I'm running FireFox 12.0, which is the latest version.

There's 4 or so pop ups. The last 2 pop ups are a grayish color, which you need to let sit for like 30 seconds and move your mouse over them to make the tiny X show up, it's not the big X that looks obvious.
Main Card starts in 35 minutes from this post, aka 5pm PST/8pm EST
