I'm looking forward to this - especially the WW title match. Condit has a score to settle with Prater...Condit, who goes for his seventh consecutive victory, was choked out in first round back in '04 by Prater. I've seen both these guys fight before and I'm much more impressed with Condit. I actually thought Prater lost to "The Recipe" Lapsley earlier this year in an Art of War match but the judges saw it differently (unanimous).
Micah Miller's on the card too...he's TUF guy Cole Miller's brother. They have a very similar build. WEC 28 - Micah couldn't hang with Cub Swanson and Chance Farrar couldn't hang with Urijah Faber.
Leonard Garcia is back in action. He's the dude who was smiling when fighting Roger Huerta at UFC 69...good fight and yes he was overmatched but took Huerta to a decision.
And a few more of these guys have fought in the UFC.
