Only three white fighters on this bill but they should all win:

Stann, Struve and Carraway.

Struve should dominate just on his size alone.
Silva turned back the clock and won a classic brawl for all time. I disagree Vanderlai is White. I have seen his parents and both look Southern Euro looking. He took massive amounts of human growth hormone over the years and it has altered his facial features. The photos I have seen of him before MMA fighting he looked like his parents.

I don't consider Wnad white, but I will say Stann lost this fight largely because of his broken nose. Wand is good but he fights sloppy, and Stann played into his game. Sturve also fought stupid, he had Hunt mounted twice and both times he went for the submission rather than just pounding way at him and soften him up. I hope they stop having fights in Asia, largely because whites do terrible there, and because the crowd generally sucks.

Actually here is a doc with Vanderlai and his birth family his mother and siblings look clearly White. His dad looks slightly Black admixed maybe a Quadroon that would still be considered White in Brazil. The documentary I saw in the past the photo I saw must have been his maternal grandparents. As there would be no way I consider his dad White by an American context.......http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i135wvWlfuQ

I told y'all I've never been sold on Struve being championship material. Despite his size, reach and BJJ...he has a glass jaw. He's been KO/TKO'd five times now. :sad:
