on all the action. Guys coming up on today's show, I'm going to give you my official predictions

for Chimaya vs. DS as well as Ferguson vs. the Leech. Plus, I'm going to tell you a Kevin

0:37.6

Holland story and discuss this. What will happen if DS holds the upset? I'll get to all of

0:46.0

that and more on today's show, but let's begin with this.

0:52.0
