Jake Roberts - age 24 5'10 155 rec 5-0 pro 5-0 am. Roberts was a golden gloves boxer, but he is actually better at the ground game. He is good at setting up his shot with punches. All his wins have come by sub.

Sage Northcutt signed with UFC. Northcutt is very well rounded, but I think he needs more time to develop. He is 5-0 as a pro, but he is only 18 and hasn't been doing MMA very long. I wouldn't mind him fighting CM Punk who is expected to make his debut in December.

If he fights "Punk", I hope he beats the stew outta that smug, aloof d00$her.
James Jenkins and Chris Gruetzemacher have both made the cast of The Ultimate Fighter. Jenkins trains at Serra-Longo with Chris Weidman and has a record of 9-1.
Gruetzemacher was on my list last year, I didn't put him on it this year because he had signed with the World Series of Fighting. Gruetzemacher is 5'7 145 age 29 and has a record of 12-1 pro.

Ryan Hall did the smart thing. He joined Tri-Star gym and worked on his striking. His stand-up looks so much better than it did when he started. I expect him to do great in this tournament. One of the guys on Connors team who looks impressive is the Polish guy Marcin Wrzosek.
